The world has always been full of sick and disturbed people. When a state begins to protect and financially support the very people who undermine it, however, the lines of sanity become even more blurred. Clearly, something is wrong when major American corporations such as Miller support the infamous (and under-stated in name) "Folsom Street Fair" in San Francisco.
For those not aware of the content of the fair, it is a sexually explicit gender-bending event, giving corporate sponsorship to public displays that would normally (and rightfully) put a person behind bars. Participants in the "fair" include numerous homosexual pornography outlets, S&M groups, and the infamous "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence," an anti-Christian group who will be celebrating a mock last-supper as graphically portrayed in the Folsolm Street Fair poster for this year.
This is not a bout of prudery or exaggeration on my part... if you are unfamiliar with the fair, you can look at fair pictures posted on the National Catholic League website. (Warning: graphic content.) These are the very same images that the League is sending to the corporate sponsors of the event, in hopes of persuading them to withdraw their funding.

Bill Donohue and the Catholic League are organizing a boycott of the festival and the sponsors involved, a boycott being supported by religious organizations of all stripes.
The mocking of a peaceful religion is a cowardly act. For my part, I would like to urge the "Sisters" and their supporters to mock the prophet of Islam next time, just to see the kind of reaction it would bring about. How about placing a picture of Mohamed on their fair posters? Considering their willingness to mock religious belief, and the pronounced anti-homosexual stance of the Muslim world, shouldn't a "courageous" and "liberated" event like to Folsom Fair take equal measure of their foes?
