Conservative watchdog group accuses Nabisco / Oreo of "grooming children" because of PFLAG partnership

[useapen]

The National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative watchdog group, has
accused Oreo of “grooming children” because of the cookie company’s
longtime partnership with PFLAG, the country’s first and largest
organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating for LGBTQ
people and their families.

In addition to publishing a 30-second video titled, “Is Oreo…Grooming
Children??” the organization writes: “NLPC owns stock in Oreo’s parent
company, Mondelez International, and will sponsor a shareholder proposal
at the annual meeting in May. The nonprofit corporate watchdog and
shareholder activist initiated its campaign to highlight the cookie-
maker’s inappropriate relationship with PFLAG after it noticed the brand’s
social media accounts – primarily on X.com (formerly Twitter) – were
heavily populated with posts in support of PFLAG’s various narratives,
causes and social advocacy.”

This isn’t the first time Oreo has come under fire from conservative
political groups and individual politicians for their support of PFLAG. As
Salon Food reported in 2022, after the company and organization partnered
on a tearjerker of a video about coming out called “The Note,” right-
leaning pundits, including Ben Shapiro, called for a boycott of the brand.
For his part, Newsmax host George Kelly tweeted a picture of Sesame
Street’s Cookie Monster with a rant that read, in part: “I do NOT like GAY
COOKIES. 'Sexuality' has NOTHING TO DO with the Cookie experience.
Cookies are for ALL!”
