A Response from Miller Brewing

Miller Brewing sent the following reply to those who voiced their opposition of Miller Brewing's involvement in the "fair" as reported by the CNSNews.com article last week, Homosexuals Mock 'Last Supper' With Sex-Toys Twist

Thank you for contacting Miller Brewing Company.

While Miller has supported the Folsom Street Fair for several years, we take exception to the poster the organizing committee developed this year. We understand some individuals may find the imagery offensive and we have asked the organizers to remove our logo from the poster effective immediately.

We regret that our failure to adhere to our own policy led to an inappropriate use of our trademark and apologize to anyone who was offended as a result, particularly members of the Christian community who have contacted us to express their concern.

We are conducting an immediate audit of our procedures for approving local marketing and sales sponsorships to ensure that this does not happen again.

It is important to understand that the Folsom Street Fair does not target the general public in its communications. The fair itself and the organization's website are only intended for the adult alternative lifestyle community.

Sincerely,

Miller Brewing Company Consumer Affairs Department

Promoting and supporting immorality is wrong and nothing can justify such behavior and business practice. When one's god is mammon, what can we really expect? Virtue? Decency?
