I believe a few years ago Coors "merged" the brewery with Molson. The Coors family is very conservative, however I don't think they are in control of their beer anymore.
From your Link:: ""The boycott began in 1966 as a regional affair coordinated by the Colorado chapter of the American GI Forum and the Denver-based Crusade for Justice. These two Hispanic groups initiated a boycott due to the Coors Brewing Company's discriminatory practices that targeted Hispanics and African Americans. Additionally, they opposed the Coors family's support of right wing political causes. Soon afterward, the boycott expanded through much of the American West. By the 1970s, the boycott covered much of Coors' market area and involved Hispanic, African American, and women's rights groups, as well as labor unions and LGBT activists.""
The GIs that started this shit, really should have left the LGBT out of it....
But Coors really should have been more supportive of its Employees....
But then, the GIs probably didn't understand that LGBT Rights are Special Rights, and not just Normal Rights....
No, this is legit. 1960-1985: Coors anti-LGBT. Caused strikes that even have a wikipedia page (here).
2000 onward: Coors gets a "perfect score" for LGBT on the HRC corporate equality index for 15 straight years. (source).
I never knew they buckled so hard. I'm embarrassed to have watched a baseball game at Coors Field in Denver 20 years ago.
