This honestly sounds like a bit of a nothing-burger.
It sounds like Yuengling has been a sponsor for years of whatever's the parent organization that put on this drag show, (some art group) and said organization did this drag queen BS without notifying / getting approval from any of their sponsors. Of course.
The article I read made it sound like it would be if some organization you give money to unilaterally & spontaneously decided to go woke or sponsor some woke tranny garbage. Of course they're not going to notify sponsors, and they sure as fuck aren't going to ask permission.
They know if they even try to get any sort of advanced notice, people will shoot it down immediately.
Again; based on what I read; it didn't sound like Yuengling did anything wrong here.
Agreed. I live in PA, there are a lot of art non-profits out here. The one in question is in Bethlehem and they put on tons of events and concerts. Yuengling has probably sponsored them for years and got blindsided by the drag queen show.
I also think Yuengling should get credit for how they handled it. Reading between the lines, it sounds like they called the venue, told them in no uncertain terms their sponsorship would end unless they did something to fix it. And the venue did by making it 18+.
Central PA is about as based as you can get. The brewery is family owned and has for years tried to stay out of the woke garbage mess. The Yuengling family has supported Trump since the very beginning and even pissed off some folks in Philly for doing so.
Yuengling can try to make the argument they did not know what type of “acts” would “perform” at Musikfest, but they have sponsored the Philadelphia Pride event multiple times. They absolutely knew what they were sponsoring.
Well that changes things & that is no good....
