This Cheerios Commercial Featuring a Gay Couple and Their Adopted Daughter Is Adorable
Slate ^ | Oct. 3 2014 | Mark Joseph Stern

Over the past few years, General Mills has positioned itself as something like the anti-Chick-fil-A, celebrating LGBT pride and vehemently opposing Minnesota’s proposed gay marriage ban. All of that is very nice—but come on, this is 2014. If you’re a food company and you haven’t made an adorable ad featuring a gay couple with their children, you’re just another face in the pro-gay corporate crowd.

Luckily, General Mills has now decided to get with the program, releasing a commercial with a gay couple, their adopted daughter, and a bowl of Cheerios. And the ad is just as impossibly cute as you might expect.

Note: Couple is white, kid is black.

The kid is adorable, the assemblage (I won't say "family") is not.

Well they I guess it isn't that lesbian couple who is suing because they got a black kid. These commercials are insipid -- the perfect liberal fantasy gay couple. Tell me where one of these is in reality -- there isn't one.

Maybe I’ve missed it, but I have not seen anything suggesting a connection between the new plague descending upon us and our ever accelerating moral descent. Wake up, America. Pro-sodomy TV commercials indeed.

Dry Cheerios has been my snack of choice for years. It’s the only brand that doesn’t taste like sawdust. I’m having a hard time living in this world.

Every large grocery chain has its equivalent oat cereal. General Mills charges more for Cherrios so it can pay for sappy ads on TV. Don’t buy any General Mills products for the rest of this year.

why does Corporate America feel the need to push homosexuality, or liberal causes in general???

Are they saying you have to support homosexuality in order to buy Cheerios???? Do they want to delete the rest of their customer base???? What the heck???

Time to cut General Mills OUT of my wallet.

This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
For it is written: Those who support homosexuals are against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!

Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.
Someone once asked The answer is in the definition of "REPROBATE". And the reason"why" is given in the Bible.

God has a cure for homosexuals.

"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect
that God is just,
that his justice cannot sleep forever."

I wouldn’t even refer to two untreated mental patients as a “couple”; don’t let them win the “word wars”.

Doesn’t that just drive you crazy?

“Look, the child whom we’ve dislocated into a pseudo-family of disordered adults is adorable!”

Granted. Without qualifiers. The child (whom God made) is adorable (in the modern sense of the word). And therefore... WHAT, exactly? Therefore, the child’s “adorableness” gives legitimacy to what we’ve done? Therefore, if you object to anything we’re doing, you’re a cold-hearted bigot who wants to crush the dreams of adorable children, kill puppies, and laugh at the deaths of kittens?

It’s interesting: when insane, logic doesn’t work very well, but some fallacies (such as appeal to emotion) seem to work just swimmingly...

Maybe some folks see the ad as appealing -- it doesn't matter. TV is not reality. Portrayals of homosexual men are not accurate. And lesbians tend not to be 2 hot chicks in bikinis having a wild time.

Reality is homosexuals abusing their adopted children and fat angry dykes spewing hatred at the world.

It's a mental illness. It isn't cute.

Shop-Rite’s brand is close; well worth the lower price (just let them sit a little longer).

In any decent society, the little girl would be removed from that unhealthy environment and placed in a real 2-parent home with a mother and a father. Instead, we are celebrating child abuse. And because the Black Messiah supports this, the people who should be complaining the loudest are completely silent.

Funny, I know I’ve got one of those “geek” educations, but I always thought the purpose of a company was to make money by selling folks things they wanted.

I must have missed the part where a company must support homosexuals and all aspects of progressive idiocy.
