Tim Hortons has pulled its scheduled sponsorship of a Rhode Island event organized by a group that opposes same-sex marriage after a storm of criticism, according to a story by CBC News of Canada. "Celebrate Marriage & Family Day," scheduled for Aug. 16, is held by the non-profit National Organization for Marriage, which proclaims to protect marriage between a man and woman.
 
Tim Hortons issued a statement confirming it will pull out as a sponsor of the event because it does not fall within the company's sponsorship guidelines. Tim Horton's corporate sponsorship policy states it "does not sponsor individuals, those representing religious groups, political affiliates, book endorsements or travelling sports teams."
