Oreo “came out” this week in a very public way in support of gay rights. Of course, the company may have been supportive for years and just chose to keep it quiet. But when they posted the rainbow cookie, an uproar ensued.
Homophobes everywhere declared their disappointment with the company’s stance for equality. How dare they support those disgusting queers?! They promised to boycott Oreos and Nabisco. The hateful and ignorant comments I saw made me angry, sad, and a little sick. I’m amazed that a little rainbow, and what it has come to represent to many, can cause so many people to become hateful bigots. Have they even stopped to think about ALL the other rainbow products they have consumed in their lifetime?

Yes, homophobes of the world. All these companies have been supporting gay rights for as long as they’ve been around. Isn’t it evident by their products? They have secretly been working to turn everyone gay by making tasty, rainbow foods for decades. Does it all make sense now? Those homoerotic yearnings you’ve had at different times during your life? The rainbow foods at work. This is all just part of the gay agenda that so many of you talk about. Think about that the next time you bite into a PopTart that has rainbow sprinkles on it.
All praise Skittles and pass the Rainbow Brites!
Great piece.
