The makers of Sam Adams and Heineken beer say they are withdrawing their sponsorship of St. Patrick's Day parades because organizers exclude gay groups.
Boston Beer Co., Sam Adam's brewer, said in a statement Friday that it is disappointed that an agreement couldn't be reached between the gay rights advocacy group MassEquality and Boston parade organizers that would have allowed gay veterans to march.
Meanwhile, Heineken USA said it was withdrawing from the New York City parade, and told CNBC on Friday: "We believe in equality for all. We are no longer a sponsor of Monday's parade."
The decisions came a day after a bar in Boston's South End said it would no longer serve Sam Adams beer because of the brewer's affiliation with the parade, which is scheduled for Sunday.

And I have no Sam Adams in my beer fridge. It will now stay that way. Permanently.
Heineken? I’d rather drink horse piss.
There are definite political advantages to restricting one’s beer drinking to Abbey Ale.

St. Patrick was a Catholic saint, was he not? Are Catholics now required to go along with sodomy?

Screw sponsorships. Do it without.
If the sponsors are paying for permits, do it without.

No one would stop them from being in the parade if the purpose of their being there was not to tout their sexual preference. Why do they have to march as “gay” veterans? Why not just march as veterans? I don’t think the parade promotors would take kindly to people marching as proud hetero fornicators either. As a result of their ignorance, I will no longer consume Sam Adams or Heineken beer.

That’s discrimination. They should be compelled to show up a celebrate this religious tradition.
