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.

No flame, just asked you be banned for being supportive of this depravity.

“People said the same thing about slavery, then segregation; the population of “tolerant” people is dwindling, and what replaces them won’t look as kindly on freaks playing family and buying children.”

You must be seeing something different than everybody else.
Same sex marriage isn’t going anywhere now. The fact is that a majority of people don’t really care one way or another.

I’m going to go with rice cakes with a hechsher (kosher
certification) from now on. I do own up to purchasing
single serving Cheerios several times.

the issue with Gold Medal is that it’s widely available;
here in NYC it’s not hard to find substitutes.

As a home baker, I'm going to miss Pillsbury and Gold Medal flour, as well as Nature Valley bars and Progresso soups. The rest, I'm already doing fine without. I have found a lot of great brand-name substitutes at Trader Joe's and Aldi.

I hardly ever buy Gold Medal flour. I like Heckers unbleached or various brands such as King Arthur light whole wheat. I never use Pillsbury products, as it's not kosher. I don't like Nature Valley bars, so that's no lost and Progresso soups are not kosher either, so no loss for me there.

A majority of people will never see or be involved with a “same-sex marriage” (or even refer to it as such); the fact that it failed on every ballot when put to voters speaks volumes.

They won (by judicial activism) a “right” most Americans couldn’t even bother to avail themselves of anymore...

“Their ONLY agenda is MAKING MONEY.”

No part of their objective is supporting our glorious leader. Keep O happy or you will feel the wrath of one of HIS federal agencies.
Then you are really screwed.

What really speaks volumes is the lack of any significant backlash.
This was the easiest and fastest way to make same sex marriage legal. Before next months election.

chef boyardee Uses more sugar in their sauce. Just try generic stuff with a 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of sugar, mix well while heating and you have the same thing .

We’ll see whether or not there is a backlash; if there is, the media will do everything to conceal it.
