State Farm quickly distanced itself from a program that pushed books about gender fluidity on young children Monday after a new ad campaign slammed the insurance giant as "a creepy neighbor," but Consumers' Research thinks the insurance giant still has to "undo the damage" it caused.
"Yesterday we launched our ad campaign calling out State Farm for donating books aimed at kindergartners on the topics of transgenderism and being non-binary… now they claim that they have ended their partnership with the GenderCool Project," Consumers' Research executive director Will Hild told Fox News Digital, calling the turn of events "an indication of how much power consumers have."
An email from a whistleblower provided to Consumers’ Research, which the organization provided to Fox News Digital, indicated that State Farm urged Florida agents to take action and provide LGBTQ+ books to children through a partnership with the GenderCool program – which describes itself as "helping replace misinformed opinions with positive experiences meeting transgender and non-binary youth who are thriving."
Consumers’ Research, a nonprofit that aims to "increase the knowledge and understanding of issues, policies, products, and services of concern to consumers and to promote the freedom to act on that knowledge and understanding," launched the website LikeACreepyNeighbor.com, where information and ways to take action against State Farm were provided. The group also created a 30-second ad, titled "Like a Creepy Neighbor," which mocked the company’s slogan, and began with a narrator declaring that State Farm says it's a good neighbor before asking, "But would a good neighbor target five-year olds for conversation about sexual identity?"
A few hours after Consumers’ Research campaign went live, State Farm emailed employees, announcing they would no longer be participating in the GenderCool program.

“What are you wearing, Jake from State Farm?” “Oh, a DRESS!” YEAH!!
WTF is THAT???
Tell him there needs to be heads on pikes at corporate over this nonsense. Until that starts happening, we have nothing.
I lost respect for State Farm when they started running those commercials. I assume they are referring phone sex lines.
They lost me when they changed JAKE the agent to BLACK from white.
NO, a good neighbor would NOT help groom children.
No more Gay Pride Day Celebrations at Elementary Schools...
Or S&M Pride Day celebrations
or Trans Celebrations Days
or Heterosexual Pride Days. None of this crap belongs in K-3.
You are right. I hate the United Way.
I would argue K-12.
Love it
Yes!! Leave the kids out of this!!
What are you wearing, “Jake at State Farm”?
When not if the first minkeypox infections in children start showing up due to the freakshow grooming, I wonder if the enemedia will report them?
Yeah, they put out a damage control press release. But has anything really changed?? I doubt it.
Using State Farm for car insurance has been a “family tradition” with us since my grandfather insured his then brand new 1954 Chevy Bel Air with them. They offer pretty good classic car insurance as well, got the 64 Chevy on an agreed value policy. The only stipulation is that it’s parked in a locked garage, which I do anyway, especially with the insane FL sunshine. Glad to see them drop this stupidity.
Pretty much. The one in the hospital I work in is a black female.
There always black.
I had no idea they did that..
Social engineering by decrees
They should be embarrassed they literally made that new guy a token - All he does is say the slogan and smile.
Why don’t they donate books about patriotism?
How ‘bout that, State Farm?
