The boycott of Russian goods, mainly Stolichnaya Vodka, has gained momentum over the last week.
Despite the company speaking out against the boycott and explaining in a letter that it has always backed the LGBT community, bars across the U.S., Europe and Canada have stopped serving Stoli. And now local bars have decided to dump the vodka in protest of treatment of LGBT people in Russia.
Randy Norman, who owns Rainbow Lounge and Best Friends Club in Fort Worth and Randys Club Cherries in Dallas, posted on Facebook last night that the three bars will official dump Stoli tonight at 6 p.m. at the locations:
Howard Okon, who owns The Brick and Joes, also sends word that hes stopped serving Stoli. He said the compnay continues to tout its LGBT support, but they didnt sponsor Dallas June Pride event Razzle Dazzle Dallas this year after being the major liquor sponsor the past two year.
