One Million Moms Condemns Oreo Cookies For Gay Pride Support
In what can only be described as the week’s least surprising news, the conservative anti-gay group behind this spring’s scrapped JCPenney boycott is now targeting Oreos for the cookie brand’s controversial endorsement of Pride month.
In a post titled “Oreo — No Longer Favorite Cookie,” members of One Million Moms are condemning a now-iconic image which showed the cookie filled with rainbow-colored creme. The image, which was praised by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights advocates, was unveiled last weekend on Oreo’s official Facebook page and quickly went viral on a number of social media platforms after its release.

It would be great if folks stopped comparing the struggles of people of colour to queer folks’ struggles, though. They are two entirely different struggles (that sometimes overlap), but they are also two struggles that still exist today. Pretending like racism is over is absolutely absurd and wrong in so many ways.
