Screaming Tom

A letter to Gilbert Baker - designer of the rainbow flag and now Rainbow25

Hi!

Just a heads-up about Atlanta Pride. One of their major sponsors for the last three years is Coors Brewing Company. Myself and several people in the Atlanta community do not agree Coors is a worthy sponsor for the LGBT community and have protested it for years. Of course, Atlanta Pride only sees the money and refuses to even discuss the matter - talk about "stonewalling." (There still is a Coors boycott in effect.)

If you are considering Atlanta Pride for one of your Rainbow25 celebrations I would ask you to reconsider and possible publicly renouncing Atlanta Pride.

Cheers!

Tom Dempsey
