It’s cultural appropriation for that community to hi-jack the rainbow, sign of God’s covenant with Noah and family.
As a side note, the “hand maid tale” costume also offends me. What have the Amish or Quakers ever done to those people?
Damn it, my beloved Milky Ways—gone.
Teenagers eat the cheap, chewy candies (Skittles, starburst, etc.) by the bucket load, so this is probably intended to make the brand appear hip and appeal to that group.
“...only rainbow that matters...” Somebody better tell the rain.
Skittles have never been one of my top candy choices. Starting today, I will never again buy Skittles. All of my purchasing decisions are now at least guided by politics - get woke, go broke.
Forgive them father, for they know not what they do.
Mars is only as good as Uranus now.
Mars is gravitating toward Uranus. Look out!
The Fags have hijacked the Rainbow the same way the Nazis hijacked the swastika. I can remember a time when the rainbow was not immediately associated with being gay. Even as recent as the 1970’s, the video game giant ATARI used the rainbow in advertising, and on merchandise. They sold a brown shirt with a rainbow across the chest, and matching coffee mugs. The rainbow for ATARI was associated with the hit game Breakout.
Breakout was a colossal hit, and it didn’t mean you were flashing your gay pride when you played it. So, as it goes, just like the Swastika had nothing to do with evil, it became something signifying evil, the same as with the Rainbow Flag today. I truly see no difference in how the two symbols were co-opted. It’s exactly the same.
It's a stupid marketing gimmick, but I suppose the company will survive.
One would expect that if they wanted to market to gays and if the rainbow is the gay symbol, then they wouldn't have to change anything except the package to appeal to that demographic, but they made gray "zombie skittles" last year in other unsuccessful marketing gimmick and I guess they couldn't get the color out of their heads.

Maybe the giraffe got mad at the Jamaican guy for milking it in the commercial and gray was the unhappy result.
