?Heineken Joins Sam Adams in Boycotting St. Patrick's Day Parade
Last week, Boston Beer Company (the makers of Samuel Adams Lager) decided to pull their sponsorship from the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Boston, and it looks like Heineken is doing the same in New York for Monday's celebrations.
Both brewing companies are doing so to support LGBT community members, after parade organizers ever-so-benevolently allowed LGBT members to march in the parade, but banned them from using any and all signage about sexual orientation. A Heineken spokesperson told CNBC, "We believe in equality for all. We are no longer a sponsor of Monday's parade."...
It's a pretty genius move to take away the second most important part of St. Patrick's day to make a legitimate point. Still, it's unfortunate that people quite literally need to be forced into sobriety to understand how ludicrous the anti-LGBT sentiment really is.
