In case anyone will be grocery shopping soon, if you are going to be buying cereal you may be interested to know that General Mills, headquartered in Minneapolis, has decided to use its corporate prestige and money to fight against the constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman that will be on the ballot her this fall.

Not telling you what to buy. Just wanted you to know what you are supporting if you buy a General Mills product.

General Mills against gay marriage ban [Star Tribune, Minneapolis]

June 15--General Mills is taking a stand against a proposed state constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, becoming the most prominent corporate voice making such a public declaration.

Chief executive Ken Powell voiced the company's opposition Wednesday at a General Mills function attended by 400 gay and lesbian professionals, followed Thursday by a Web letter from the company's vice president for global diversity and inclusion, Ken Charles.


Edit:
Just listening to a local radio station and a group is organizing a protest outside GM's HQ Saturday. I did a bing search on this and curiously only gay web sites seem to be talking about it.
