This totally disappointed me when I first read about it on OMGblog!
Allegedly, the makers of Rockstar Energy Drink are a bunch of ingorant homophobes! Not only that, but it's being reported that they have made some very uncool comments about autistic children. How RUDE is that!?
Rockstar was a nice alternative to other more expensive energy drinks due to it's larger quantity for about the same price. But is it really worth paying several pennies less per ounce if those $2 are going to go to support homophobic individuals?
The primary creator/CEO of Rockstar Energy Drink is Russell Weiner. His father, Michael Weiner is also known as Michael Savage. And Russell Weiner's mother, Janet Weiner is the CFO.

The Truth About Rockstar
If the Rockstar CEO supports full LGBT equality, then why haven't they come out and made a statement??
What's worse, PepsiCo just signed a distrubution deal with Rockstar to last 10 years.
TAKE ACTION (choose 1, or all 3!):
01. Sign this letter.
02. Ask that your local bar/club not serve Rockstar any further until the makers issue an apology and make ammends.
03. Contact Pepsi and let them you won't be buying Rockstar! (Or call them at 1.800.433.2652)
04. Join the Boycott Rockstar Facebook Group.
