Ford said several companies that had agreed to sponsor this year’s San Francisco Pride march had withdrawn: Anheuser-Busch, Comcast, Diageo and Nissan. Those sponsorships add up to about $300,000, Ford estimated.

Diageo owns Smirnoff, apparently. I'm happy to say that I don't give money to / rely upon any of these. And guess what, Nissan, in the year that I need to buy a new car, you aren't on the list. See some of you at Oakland Pride. We'll be rocking out to support our friends.
