Miller Beer promotes gay bondage?

The headline was simple enough:

Catholic Group Urges Boycott of Miller Brewing Co. Over San Francisco Fair Sponsorship

A church group is mad at a beer company.  Big whoop.  May as well have run a Britney Spears headline.  However, reading the story opens all kinds of doors.  First of all, what they were initially mad at was this:

folsom-street-fair 

That was just the beginning.  What they got madder about was down in the left hand bottom of the page you’ll see a particular sponsor, Miller Brewing Company.  Now, what the Folsom Street Fair is, is a parade in San Francisco featuring the freakiest of freaks.  These aren’t your average run of the mill gays and lesbians.  If you have the guts, just follow this link.  Now, gotta warn ya, there’s lots of boobies.  However, there’s even more guys’ peckers hanging out.   These people are into public humiliation whether they know it or not.  Now, here’s where the rub comes in.  I’m not Catholic.  I’m not terribly religious at all.  A bunch of freaks portraying the Last Supper purely has a chuckle value to it and that’s about it for me.  However, going the other way, I’m not into public displays of humilation either.  I don’t like whips and chains and leather.  It just does nothing for me.  And, I’m not the least bit gay either.  So, if I don’t drink MGD or Miller Lite, everyone will accuse me of cowering to Catholic censorship and repression.  If I do drink MGD or Miller Lite, people will look at me funny in bars and guys who like to be whipped, flogged, and have large leather objects shoved up their patootie will smile at me.  This is a no-win situation for a guy who doesn’t like Miller beer in the first place.

    Up here in my mostly gayless state of Pennsylvania (don’t quote me on that) I have never seen anything so disgusting. People are equating this to Mardi Gras, unless people walk around like that during Mardi Gras I doubt it’s as bad. These people have the right to be gay but what’s with the need to display it in the streets? Nasty.

    I’ve been to Mardi Gras, this is nothing like Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras isn’t necessarily safe for children, but it’s not XXX, it’s just X. There is a lot of sexual intendre at Mardi Gras, but it’s not as perverse nor as openly graphic. I enjoyed Mardi Gras, I would have been completely disgusted at Folsom. They have the right to do whatever they wish as far as I’m concerned. However, there are obscenity laws that I’m sure have been completely ignored. If they’re gonna behave that way, at least make some effort not to expose themselves to children. That’s the part that disgusts me.
