Food giant General Mills (not just for breakfast anymore…) has pulled its ads from the ABC Family channel’s show, “Pretty Little Liars,” after it received threats from anti-gay “family values” groups like the Florida Family Association (FFA), which claims “the majority of the primary cast on ‘Pretty Little Liars’ are lesbians.”
Meanwhile, the $15 billion, Minnesota-based company didn’t bat an eye, or close its purse strings, when “Pretty Little Liars” portrayed racy scenes of a teacher in his twenties having an affair with an under-age high school teen. So, does General Mills think legal same-sex relationships are bad, but opposite-sex, illegal relationships are good?
The FFA is affiliated with the larger American Family Association, a certified hate group.
General Mills manufactures and/or markets over one hundred top brands, like Betty Crocker, Colombo, Pillsbury, Green Giant, Old El Paso, Häagen-Dazs, and Cheerios.
