At the conclusion of the community forum, Stonewall's Coors Advisory Task Force presented a resolution to its membership, simultaneously praising Coors for their strides in creating a positive and non- discriminatory environment for its lesbian and gay employees and calling on the community to refrain from purchasing Coors products until such time as the Coors family, its businesses, and foundations, cease funding or providing leadership to organizations whose mission includes the denial of fair and equitable treatment of lesbians, gays, and other minorities.

In September, Stonewall President Eric Bauman appointed a seven member task force to evaluate the ongoing controversy surrounding Coors. The task force spent two months reviewing of over one thousand documents, including news articles, SEC, FEC and IRS reports, analysis by progressive and gay groups and a variety of other documents. The task force interviewed a wide assortment of community activists, political activists, reporters, watchdog groups (such as People for the American Way), union officials and both line and management employees of Coors Brewing Co..

The Task Force analyzed the political contributions of Coors family-owned companies and foundations, and of Coors family members individually. Linkages between Coors, its various foundations and right wing extremist groups such as the Heritage Foundation and the Free Congress Foundation were investigated. With the help of the Teamsters union the Task Force was able to speak confidentially with openly lesbian and gay line workers at Coors.

Stonewall's Coors Advisory Task Force Chair, Alan Zimmerman, said, "In reaching our conclusions, there was as much confusion at the end as there was at the beginning of this process. We discovered during our very detailed review of this matter that, on the one hand, Coors is a company that demonstrates some of the most progressive employment policies and practices in the country and at the same time, control of the company rests with a family who vigorously support ultra-conservative politicians and right wing extremist organizations and think tanks. Similarly, we found the community divided three ways: favoring the boycott, opposing the boycott, or totally disinterested or unaware, the last group being the largest."

Stonewall President Eric Bauman said "In attempting to arrive at arrive at a valid conclusion about Coors, we were struck by the profound dichotomy we observed. It was impossible for us to arrive at a decision totally opposed or totally in-favor of Coors. The essence of our conclusion is that Coors Brewing Company has, in fact, made major positive strides towards creating a safe, nondiscriminatory and even embracing environment for its lesbian and gay employees. However, following the Coors-profit money trail took us directly to politicians and organizations which are profoundly homophobic and whose philosophy's directly contradict the progressive policies enacted by the Coors Brewing Company."

The forum featured speakers both favoring the continuation of the boycott and opposing it. Speaking in favor of the boycott were Morris Kight, founding president of Stonewall Democratic Club and chair of the Coors Boycott Committee; as well as, Don Kilhefner and Patrick Burke of the Coors Boycott Committee.

Speaking in opposition to the boycott were Mary Cheney, an open lesbian and Corporate Relations Manager for gay and lesbian issues at Coors Brewing Company in Colorado; David Fisher, community activist, member of the West Hollywood Lesbian and Gay Advisory Council and board member of the L.A. Gay and Lesbian Center; and Barry Greenfield, longtime community activist and member of the West Hollywood Lesbian and Gay Advisory Council. The meeting was attended by several members of the Tavern and Bar Owners Guild and several California-based employees of Coors Brewing Company.

Following formal presentations by both sides, a one hour long open question and answer session was held. Questioners' tones varied from direct attacks on Coors, even accusing them of "being monsters," to people speaking out strongly in favor of recognizing the positive steps Coors has taken. At several points during the Q&A session the microphone had to be turned off because questioners became so vitriolic.

The finale of the evening was the presentation of the Coors Advisory Task Force's resolution on the Coors issue. The resolution prompted nearly an hour of debate and several minor changes before being adopted with 58% support. The resolved clauses of the resolution are:

Stonewall Democratic Club has committed to evaluating other companies doing business in the gay community who may have links to politicians and organizations whose missions' includes the denial of fair and equitable treatment of lesbians, gays, and other minorities.
