Hypocrisy, thy name is Tony Perkins


On Tony Perkins' daily "Christian" radio show, hate group leader Tony Perkins urged his listeners to join NOM's sadly misguided failure of a boycott of General Mills.

Why, you ask?

Because Betty Crocker has the nerve to donate wedding cakes to same-sex weddings:

At Betty Crocker, the only thing they're mixing up is their priorities.

Hi, I'm Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C.

If you ask conservatives, Betty Crocker's latest promotion is a recipe for disaster. This summer, the famous dessert line decided to jump on the same-sex "marriage" bandwagon-and bring cakes to celebrate.

In Minnesota, where parent company General Mills is headquartered, Betty Crocker decided to donate wedding cakes to the first homosexual couples who exchanged vows on the first day that counterfeit marriage was legal. "Betty celebrates all families," said manager Laura Forero. "We don't want to be old fashioned," the company explained.

Unfortunately for General Mills, the majority of Americans think natural marriage is anything but old fashioned. And they've made it tough on companies like Target, Starbucks, and JC Penney who disagree. Know where your money is going.

When you're at the store, think outside the Betty Crocker box! For a full list of products that are undermining marriage, check out DumpGeneralMills.com.

First of all - when it comes to a majority of Americans, multiple recent pools show Americans support marriage equality:

• an ABC News/Washington Post poll found that 55 percent of Americans say they support the right of same-sex couples to legally tie the knot
• An NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released in April found that 53 percent of Americans favored allowing same-sex marriages
• 52 percent of respondents in a new Gallup Politics poll would support a law that would legalize same-sex marriage across all 50 U.S. states

You know, the anti-gay Christian groups love to start these boycotts over things they don't like or find "icky." And when they do it's "good and true" in the name of morality, marriage and protecting the children.

BUT - when LGBT groups boycott over bigotry, suddenly the use of a boycott is "intolerant," "bullying," and "intimidation" as we are clearly trying to shut down someone's First Amendment rights.

Got that? When we do it - we're the bad guys.  When they do it, they're the good guys.

Riiiight....
