General Mills celebrates LGBT Pride with Lucky Charms-inspired campaign
New York Daily News ^ | June 28, 2013 | Victoria Taylor

Lucky Charms is perhaps the perfect cereal to celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Pride since it already includes a rainbow.

General Mills and advertising agency McCann Always On saw their chance and used the colorful marshmallow as the face of their #LuckytoBe campaign, which asks people to use the hashtag to post pictures and tweets about what makes them, well, lucky.

"We're celebrating Pride month with whimsical delight, magical charms, and two new rainbow marshmallows," the company said on the campaign website. "If you're lucky enough to be different, we're celebrating you."

Fruit Loops would seem more appropriate.

Indoctrination? Nah....we would be homophobic to suggest such a thing.

I was eating lucky charms when I saw this link; I was wondering what was up with the weirdly colored marshmallows.

Now you are going to have kids saying to their parents that they want to be lucky too...and special...and be looked up to and appreciated for being open and every other thing described in this commercial.

WTF?!?!?!?!? INDOCTRINATION.

It’s almost impossible to escape this sick agenda in the modern world.

I SURE DO. Ad execs at Viacom and all of the kids toy manufacturers have just been waiting and frothing at the mouth for the next movement to become accepted so they can create campaigns and ad’s for it....well...I fully expect to see nothing but HUGE gay agenda B.S. even more now since it is legalized by the court regardless of what the voters think.

BLOODLESS COUP. Not a damn thing being done about it either.

I walked away from General Mills when they went pro-sodomy during the Minnesota sodomy vote.

I avoid their products whenever I can in the grocery store. They don’t need my money.

DUMP GENERAL MILLS

Website from the National Organization for Marriage

http://www.dumpgeneralmills.com/

I never thought that by eating Cheerios for breakfast I would be supporting gay marriage. Your decision to pander to same-sex marriage activists has forced me to choose between your food products and my conscience. As long as food is produced by other companies my conscience is going to win out over the desire for another bowl of Lucky Charms. Until you stop supporting this radical social agenda I must, in good conscience, look for substitutes that I can purchase instead of the following brands.

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
Mountain High

Your diversity policy claims to respect “not just the primary areas such as gender, race and sexual orientation – but also cultural aspects including values, preferences, beliefs, and communication styles.” However, your public opposition to the Minnesota Marriage Amendment overtly disrespects the values and beliefs of many of your employees. To avoid misleading the public and potential employees regarding the true position of General Mills, I ask that you remove this misrepresentation from your website and any written materials unless or until you decide to actually follow through on your commitment to true diversity.

It’s not the role of corporate management to unilaterally endorse a controversial political issue unrelated to a company’s core business – particularly when doing so will alienate a large percentage of customers, employees and shareholders. I urge you to reconsider your decision to support same-sex marriage and to publicly oppose the Minnesota Marriage Amendment.
