General Mills announces support for gay ‘marriage’

americansfortruth.com

Remember when Big Business was conservative and was protested by hippies and leftists? Well now, socially speaking, corporate titans are siding with the Left against historic Judeo-Christian values – and God-fearing Christians and Jews are chiding the soulless, capitalist sellouts. The latest Behemoth to kick the Creator to the curb is General Mills — seemingly right up there with apple pie and motherhood as a symbol of American wholesomeness, but no more.

General Mills is maker of these iconic breakfast cereals:

Cheerios
 Chex
 Cinnamon Toast Crunch
 Fiber One
 Kix
 Lucky Charms
 Monsters
 Total
 Trix
 Wheaties

In bowing to the revolutionary, homosexualist redefinition of marriage, the cereal giant has had to re-invent morality itself. Thus it employs the same sanctimonious Diversity Doublespeak as all social leftists who — no matter what destructive policies they pursue — pat themselves on the back for being on the side of “progress.” How telling that a company like General Mills is now serving up the pablum of “inclusion” to justify its immoral turn.

General Mills boasts that its goal “is to be among the most socially responsible food companies in the world.” Memo to General Mills: promoting homosexuality (linked disproportionately to disease and dysfunction) as normative behavior – to the point of undermining natural marriage — is not “socially responsible” but rather the opposite, even though it earns plaudits from the usual morally-challenged suspects. (See this biased “Wikipedia” entry which, sounding like a press release for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, notes that General Mills “received positive feedback for its stand [against the Minnesota marrriage amendment] which is expected to attract people to its global workforce.”)

Apparently General Mills’ executives, like those at Starbuck’s and other mega-corporations, are betting that more American consumers are FOR the sexual sin of homosexuality than against it. Time will tell if they are right, but regardless, corporate profits do not dictate moral Truth.

There are now far too many pro-homosexuality major corporations for us to declare this offender versus that offender a boycott target — so pro-family consumers can make their own purchasing choices. As for me, I will hesitate before buying a box of Wheaties or Cheerios, if only to strike a small, lonely blow for what’s right.

Bye Bye Cheerios?: General Mills announces support for gay ‘marriage’

By Thaddeus Baklinski

ST. PAUL, Minnesota, June 15, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Minnesota-based food giant General Mills has publicly come out in opposition to a proposed constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage in Minnesota.

Currently same-sex “marriage” is against the law in Minnesota. However, in November, Minnesotans will vote on the amendment which would insert the true definition of marriage in the state constitution…

According to a post put up Thursday, June 14 on the General Mills company blog by Ken Charles, vice president of global diversity and inclusion, “General Mills CEO Ken Powell on Wednesday addressed 400 local gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender professionals and announced that the company opposes the amendment.”

“While General Mills doesn’t normally take positions on ballot measures, this is a business issue that impacts our employees,” Charles said in his post. “I am proud to see our company join the ranks of local and national employers speaking out for inclusion…”

Brian Brown, president of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM), a major advocate for the marriage amendment, blasted the General Mills Corporation for effectively declaring a “war on marriage” with its own customers.

“Marriage as the union of one man and one woman is profoundly in the common good, and it is especially important for children,” said Brown.

“General Mills makes billions marketing cereal to parents of young children. It has now effectively declared a war on marriage with its own customers when it tells the country that it is opposed to preserving traditional marriage, which is what the Minnesota Marriage Protection Amendment does.”

J.C. Penney Releases Father's Day Ad Featuring Two Gay Dads

To Whom it May Concern,

I am extremely offended by your recent attempt to redefine "families" in your recent Father's Day ad featuring a homosexual couple. Your pandering to the homosexual movement is at the same time pushing away those of us who support traditional, i.e. real, marriage. It is not the place of a department store to be making preachy statements about issues like gay marriage at the cost of its customers. Until such time as I hear that you will no longer attempt to make moral judgments on these issues in your ad campaigns and will be backing out of the culture war, I will not be shopping in your stores. Please, stay out of the controversy and just sell your products.

Thank you

Oppose .porn, .sex and .adult domains!

Take Action:

http://www.waronillegalpornography.com/action-oppose-porn-sex-and-adult-domains/


The .XXX domain was proposed as a place that all Internet porn sites would relocate, making the rest of the Internet porn free. As we predicted from the beginning however, that did not happen. Porn companies did not relocate to .XXX, but instead, the kept their .COM sites and opened additional porn sites on .XXX.

Now, the company behind .XXX is seeking permission to open up three more porn domains, .Porn, .sex, and .adult.

We know that this just means the Internet porn companies will expand to those domains as well and thousands of new porn sites will appear.

We are pressing the U. S. Government and Congress as well as the governing agency of the Internet called, Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers to stop this expansion of Internet porn.

The public does not want more Internet porn!


TRUTH ABOUT .XXX DOMAIN:

- Now, 6 months after the launch of .XXX domain, none of the major pornography websites switched from their .com to a .xxx site. In fact, many porn companies just launched more websites on the .xxx domain. THERE IS MORE PORNOGRAPHY!
- The filters available today do not have problems blocking most of the pornographic websites on popular domains. Switching to .XXX doesn't make it easier to block (and anyway, no one is switching) because they can block .com sites just fine. The problem is that less that 12% of American homes actually have blocking software.
- Thousands of universities, businesses, politicians and famous individuals have been forced to pay protection money to ICM Registry in order to protect their brand from being associated with pornography. Many of these have had to pay thousands of dollars to ICM Registry, which has made ICM Registry millions of dollars. Now, these brands will have to fork over millions more in order to protect themselves on .sex, .porn and .adult domains.
- One common argument is that Congress can just pass a law to force porn companies to switch to .XXX. Well -

1) it would take a lot of effort to get that law passed and the porn industry, with unlimited financial resources, would work very hard to make sure that didn't happen.

2) If a law was passed, it would most likely be found unconstitutional for a myriad of reasons.

3.) If the law was passed and was upheld by the High Court, that would mean the US Justice Department would have to enforce it. They would have to go one-by-one and prosecute each porn site on .com in order to force them to move to .XXX and these would likely only have small penalties.

The US Justice Department won't even enforce the existing federal obscenity laws. Plus, if they were going to go after porn companies, they should go after them for breaking Federal Obscenity Laws, not just asking them to move their illegal content to another neighborhood on the web.

Protect our Children's Innocence Petition

Whereas:   Schools should be institutions of learning, dedicated to the unbiased and unpoliticized pursuit of knowledge equally for all students; and

Whereas:   The mis-named "Student Non-Discrimination Act" actually DOES discriminate by creating special protected classes of students; and

Whereas:   More accurately-named the "Homosexual Classrooms Act," the "Student Non-Discrimination Act" targets children with homosexual propaganda far over their heads in an attempt to sexually confuse and corrupt; and

Whereas:   Government should have NO AUTHORITY to force the Homosexual Agenda on the American people, much less their children;

Therefore:  As your constituent and a concerned pro-family voter, I strongly insist you oppose the so-called "Student Non-Discrimination Act," and make every attempt to see it defeated.

NY Court Rules it is Legal to View Child Pornography on Internet

Yesterday, a NY Court of Appeals ruled that it is legal for individuals to view child pornography on the Internet. We knew that times like this would come if we continued to allow the mainstreaming and popular acceptance of pornography. By normalizing the abuse and exploitation of women for so many years, we have essentially been grooming child pornographers and child predators. Our culture is becoming desensitized now to even child pornography.

STATEMENT FROM MORALITY IN MEDIA
In response to the ruling of the New York Court of Appeals yesterday decriminalizing the purposeful viewing of child pornography on the Internet, Patrick Trueman, President of Morality in Media issued the following statement:

Child pornography is the photographic record of the sexual abuse of a child so it is a singular outrage that the highest court in New York State has decriminalized the act of viewing of child pornography by computer.  

Children live with shame and hurt from knowing that a record of their abuse circulates on the Internet.  Each time these photos are viewed, the child is revictimized.  Some children never recover from the experience. 

Child pornography should be treated as a very serious violation of the human dignity of the victims and those who take enjoyment from the despicable act of viewing such material should be harshly punished.  What the New York court has done is to give permission to pedophiles and child molesters to continue the sexual molestation and recording of child sex abuse.

We call upon the United States Attorney for the Southern District to immediately move to arrest and prosecute the defendant for violating federal child pornography laws.  As the Court of Appeals decision recognizes, this conduct is prosecutable under federal law.  In addition, we demand that the Attorney General and the Administrator of the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention authorize the New York City and State, Internet Crimes Against Children Task Forces to take over all child pornography possession cases currently being prosecuted by New York State Prosecutors and investigated by the Task Forces until this opinion is overturned. 

The New York State Legislature has its work cut out for it and it should act immediately.

REVOKE BIG LABOR'S LICENSE TO KILL

A Citizen's Petition to:

My U.S. Senators and Representative

Whereas:   Every year militant union bosses deploy their thugs to target innocent men and women with threats, brass knuckles, knives and beatings in an attempt to send a simple message -- do what we want, or pay the price; and

Whereas:   Because of the 1973 Enmons decision, union officials are exempt from federal prosecution -- as long as the campaign of violence they incite is in the name of "legitimate union objectives"; and

Whereas:   Union violence is a crippling blow not only for innocent American workers targeted by union militants -- but for every American citizen; and

Whereas:   Passage of the Freedom from Union Violence Act would close the loophole in federal law and finally allow authorities to prosecute union officials for inciting violence;

Therefore: I urge you to help hold union officials accountable for union violence by cosponsoring and seeking roll-call votes on the Freedom from Union Violence Act.

Why is TruGreen promoting foul language?

Dear CEO Vidu Kulkarni:

As a mother and a member of OneMillionMoms.com, I am greatly disappointed in your new "What the Fffffffff--- front yard?" commercial. Does TruGreen desire for children to have dirty mouths?

TruGreen may have thought this was humorous, but it is not cute when children go around repeating what they heard on your ad.

I believe TruGreen should be more responsible in its advertising.

Please pull your "Weed Slayer" commercial immediately. If the ad continues to run as it is, then I will not feel comfortable supporting your company.

I look forward to hearing from you regarding my concern.
