The Other Coors Spokesman

International Mr. Leather Bruce Chopnik wants to tell the world: It's a new day for gays and Coors.

A A A Comments (2) By Justin Berton Thursday, Sep 2 1999

...continued from page 6

A Coors Light banner waves above the party, and beer boys in leather shorts walk around, filling up red cups as quickly as they empty.

Chopnik says he doesn't take money from the Coors Brewing Company -- and Coors officials aren't going to let anyone forget that anytime soon, either. The unofficial mantra for flacks at the company is that International Mr. Leather supports Coors because he believes in Coors.

This year's Coors-sponsored Thunder in the Mountains leather event.

But the subject has come up before, leaving Chopnik to wonder, "Would I take money from Coors to do an advertising campaign?"

He taps an index finger on his chest.

"That's a choice," he says, "I would have to make for myself."

It would be nice if all that you wanted was to be treated normal like everyone else, but you want much more. You demand that everyone accept homosexuality as normal, you want to shove it down everyone's throat. I grew up around gay men who worked with my mother. They were just normal guys. They were the big brothers I never had. They taught me to drive and were there anytime they were needed. We were all aware of their situation, but no one mentioned it. They lived their lives we lived ours.They didn't do everything they could to get validation for their relationship from others and they certainly never made taudry spectacles of themselves. You want to tear down anything or anyone who believes differently than you anyone who sees your sexual preference as abnormal. Your loud cla moring and outrageous behavior might intimidate some, but the fact remains that the God who created you and the God you will stand before when you die called what you do an abomination. He didn't call you an abomination, for you are always his beloved child and there is nothing that you can do that will separate you from His love. The life you have chosen to live is an abomination to Him, it is unnatural, and abnormal and if I had the Coors' money you would not get one red cent of it,
