Anti-gay forces are just now realizing that Kellogg's cereal was a sponsor of Atlanta Pride last month, where the company ran an ad in the festival's Pride Guide along with a very pro-LGBT/inclusive message:
"At Kellogg, we're an evolving culture that respects and accepts employees' sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression so that all employees can be authentic and fully engaged."
Now you know this sent the haters into a state of abject horror.
Anti-gay CNS News covers the story, complete with homophobic outrage:
Kellogg's was a sponsor of the Atlanta Gay Pride March and festival last month. Apparently, Tony the Tiger wants to make sure you and your kids "wear your stripes with pride," gay pride that is.
According to the American Family Association's (AFA) Facebook page, "[t]hey even put an ad in the 'Pride Guide.'"...
But wait, there's more. According to HRC's Buyers Guide, Kellogg's acquired a rating of 100, a perfect score, due to Kellogg's efforts to support the LGBT community. Worst of all, though, the "PRIDE" ad didn't even get the pun right. Tigers don't belong in "prides," let alone pride parades.
Folks all along the haters-sphere have started the usual calls for a boycott of Kelloggs, blah blah blah... which will end up like most of their boycotts - failing.
