…now the National Organization for Marriage is calling on them to boycott General Mills. The cereal and grain behemoth, one of the largest corporations in Minnesota, recently took a stand against a constitutional amendment in that state that would restrict marriage to a man and woman.
Protests outside the General Mills offices were evidently not enough, so anti-gay breakfast eaters are now taking a vow of epic personal sacrifice. The DumpGeneralMills supporters pledge that “my conscience is going to win out over the desire for another bowl of Lucky Charms.”
But not just Lucky Charms.
They are vowing not to eat any of the following brands, which, by my rough guess, accounts for ABOUT 90 PERCENT OF WHAT’S IN THE GROCERY STORE: Betty Crocker, Good Earth, Muir Glen, Big G Cereals, Green Giant, Nature Valley, Bisquick, Haagen-Dazs, Old El Paso, Bugles, Hamburger Helper, Pillsbury, Cascadian Farm, Jus-Rol, Pillsbury Atta, Cheerios, Kix, Progresso, Chex, Knack & Back, Total, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, La Saltena, Totino’s/Jeno’s, Diablitos Underwood, Larabar, Trix, Fiber One, Latina, V. Pearl, Food Should Taste Good. Liberte, Wanchai Ferry, Frescarini, Lucky Charms, Wheaties, Fruit Snacks, Macaroni Grill, Yoplait, Gardetto’s, Monsters, Yoplait France, Gold Medal, and Mountain High.
But what a relief, right?
Gay marriage opponents won’t need to be defeated at the Minnesota polls. They don’t need to be outspent in Washington. Hell, they soon won’t need any strategic opposition. Give ’em a couple months and they’re going to starve themselves to death.
Starve themselves to death? Oh, the DRAMA!!!!
Most of those foods are unhealthy anyway. Maybe these “anti-gay” people (it isn’t anti-gay to support traditional marriage, fool) will be nice and healthy after all. This will give them even more energy to fight this bullshit attempt at redefining marriage to suit extremists that are bent on attacking others.
SJR: I think you need to look up the definition of “attack.” Amending a state constitution is an attack; opposing an amendment is a defense.
“The Oregon Constitution now states: It is the policy of Oregon, and its political subdivisions, that only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or legally recognized as a marriage.”
Thanks for proving my point, ROM. So Basic Rights Oregon can back off now. Right?
I mean, they’re attempting to amend the state constitution. Or does that not count for some reason? They’re not going to try again until 2014 but they will attack. And I will use my vote against them. Every time.
That was in the state constitution when the state was founded?
Uh, we all know the answer to my question. I should have just stated: that was added to the state constitution in 2004. The constitution was attacked!
I didn’t prove your point at all.
Just so everyone knows, I met StJohnsRules in person last weekend. He’s actually a very clever 70-year-old gay man who has a bit of fun in his post-retirement spare time trolling on here as a homophobe to make homophobes look like the hypocrites they are.
He’s undeniably entertaining, but I just want to make sure people don’t take him too seriously.
Also, as a footnote, best head I’ve ever gotten from an elderly gent.
I watched a great T.V. show last night, D&W. It’s called “How I fucked your mother.” It was a rerun.
@ROM. The whole gay marriage thing is a new phenomenon. That doesn’t make it right. Everyone knows that marriage is between a man and a woman and THAT shouldn’t have to be explained. Gay extremists are doing the attacking and traditional marriage supporters are put in the unfortunate position of having to defend themselves. You’re not really going to try that tactic, are you? I actually feel bad for you people. The gay marriage supporters. You really can’t see this issue for what it really is, can you? If ignorance is bliss, you fuckers must be positively enraptured.
I still support civil unions. Anything else is uncivilized.
Stay kinky, my friends.
Maybe you should marry marriage. Sounds like you’re super in love with it. But who can blame you: it’s pure, reliable, and comes with fancy rings.
And I’m pretty sure that most people here feel bad for YOU. You’re clearly really hung up on this. So are you protesting General Mills, like these other brave people? Or are you just complaining on the internet about being attacked?
I love Cinnamon Toast Crunch!
Cinnamon Toast Crunch is pretty good, it’s almost like candy
