This ad is not new, but … damn.
Colbert I. King writes in the Washington Post:
Credit the group One Million Moms with spurring me to brave covid-19-struck Washington, D.C., and make a beeline to the grocery store to purchase some Oreo cookies.
I could do no less in light of a scurrilous campaign the organization has launched against Oreo and its parent company, Mondelez International.
Not to be confused with the Million Mom March gun-safety organization, OneMillionMoms.com is an online ministry of the American Family Association, a self-described “conservative, pro-family” organization based in Tupelo, Miss.
One Million Moms is out of sorts because Oreo has joined with the nonprofit PFLAG — an organization of supportive parents, families and allies of LGBTQ people — to release “Rainbow Oreos.” These are described as cookies filled with Oreo cream in the colors of the Pride flag, and the company has launched the new product with a moving ad depicting a daughter and her partner introducing their relationship to her parents.
Moving is right. Got me.
The American Family Association admonishes Mondelez for not “remaining neutral in the cultural war.” One Million Moms believes the ad attempts to “normalize the LGBTQ lifestyle” and “brainwash children and adults” by “desensitizing audiences” to the “homosexual agenda.”
I’m surprised One Million Moms didn’t condemn rainbow Oreos as papist communion wafers.
