LGBT people are starting to boycott Yuengling beer

Donald Trump has been damaging his own brand with his bigoted, xenophobic, gaffe and scandal plagued presidential campaign, and the fallout is starting to spread to those who have unwisely hitched their wagon to his falling star.
Eric Trump, son of Donald Trump, toured the D. G. Yuengling & Son’s brewery in Pottsville, Pennsylvania on Monday, meeting with owner Richard “Dick” Yuengling.
“This is an amazing American success story,” Trump said during a brief news conference at the brewery, Reading Eagle reports. “We need a lot more of these.”
“Because of a great company like Yuengling, workers can educate their kids and live a prosperous lifestyle,” Trump said, making no mention of Yuengling’s history of union busting which actually made workers’ lives less prosperous.
“My father’s going to make it a lot easier for business to function,” Trump added. “We’re going to do it right here in the U.S.”
“Our guys are behind your father,” Yuengling said. “We need him in there.”
This quickly spawned a backlash with many beer drinkers calling on a boycott of America’s oldest brewery, Philly Voice reports.
Rep. Brian Sims, the first openly gay elected state legislator in Pennsylvania, has joined that chorus of voices.
“I’m not normally one to call for boycotts but I absolutely believe that how we spend our dollars is a reflection of our votes and our values!” Sims wrote in a Facebook post. “D.G. Yuengling & Son, Inc. believes that an agenda that is anti-woman, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBT, anti-racial minority and anti-equality is best for them and that tells me all I need to know about what they think is best for their own customers.
“I won’t reminisce about your product or lament any losses. Goodbye Yuengling and shame on you,” he concluded, signing it “A former customer of over 17 years!”

It's amazing that people can derive this from voicing support for a candidate. frick man, it's painful to think about how stupid people are.

LGBTs boycott beer company who endorses a candidate that wants to prevent the importation of people from countries where it's acceptable to kill LGBT people.

I feel really good about the case I bought last night. I should probably accelerate my drinking so I can make room in the fridge for another case.

Homophobic beer snobs now have a perplexing dilemma on their hands.

anti-racial minority and anti-equality
These things are mutually exclusive. You can't be for equality and preferential treatment for racial minorities.
