NOM Is Too Scared To Boycott All These Homo-Loving Companies



The National Organization of Marriage (NOM) is a predominantly Catholic-funded anti-gay group that spends it time race-baiting, flouting state campaign finance laws, pushing harmful ex-gay therapy, and calling gays a bunch of poo-eating, animal-raping baby murderers all in the hope of ensuring that you will never have the right to raise kids, marry the person you love or visit your spouse in the hospital.

What lovely people they are!

Most recently, NOM has spearheaded two unsuccessful boycott campaigns against Starbucks and General Mills because both companies support same-sex marriage.

But then yesterday, Oreo cookies showed its support for Pride on Facebook by posting a rainbow-filled cookie along with the message “Proudly support love!” So is NOM gonna start boycotting Kraft Foods and its Nabisco division which make Oreos?

In short, no... or if they ever do, it'll be an incredibly stupid move.

You see, even though General Mills is one of the largest food and beverage manufacturers in the U.S., so is Kraft. And to boycott both of them them, they'd have to ask "supporters of traditional marriage" to give up at least all of the following everyday brands:

I wonder how many of these homophobes are using Microsoft products to help spread their hate.

"Can you just imagine NOM waging war against Betty Crocker, the Pilsbury doughboy, the Kool-Aid Man, the Oscar Weinermobile and America's favorite gelatin dessert? "


Well. The Oscar MeyerWeinerMobile ?...Yeah. I can imagine NOM waging war against it. And a very very funny war it would be.

That alone would do it for me.

But I don't have to worry. I've long been LBGT supporter. But I'm going to get even more Oreos next time I shop, just in case. But, no Velveeta, sorry.
