This month General Mills came out in opposition of the Minnesota marriage amendment ballot measure that would define marriage in the state's constitution as between a man and a women. General Mills is headquartered in the state.

According to Tom Forsythe, company vice president of corporate communications, "We acknowledge the strongly held views on all sides of this question. We respect and defend the right of others to disagree. But General Mills has worked to create an inclusive culture for our employees for decades. As a Minnesota-based company, we believe it is important for Minnesota to be viewed as inclusive and welcoming as well."

This week a radical Washington, DC-based organization called the National Organization for Marriage created a petition urging consumers to boycott General Mills in protest of the food company's support of diversity. They currently have over 7,000 signatures. They have also donated $15,000 in outside money to support the amendment.

Let's show them that Minnesota and the people and companies that make our state great can't be messed with! Let's show even larger numbers of support for General Mills and Minnesotans who support marriage for all families!

Minnesota's anti-marriage amendment is the 32nd of its kind in states around the country. Unfortunately, all previous 31 measures were successful. This means Minnesota can make history by being the first state to reject a constitutional same-sex marriage ban and stand up for the rights of all of its citizens!
