I don't read the shareholder info that I received from General Mills as PRO gay marriage but more like saying they don't believe it is appropriate to BAN it by law. It is more of a neutral position, the way it should be.

Hate is bad for business. Businesses recognize this. I wish more Minnesotans did.

Guess all the churchees are going to be buying Kelloggs cereal now.

Whow cares what General Mills' stance is on this? The only reason this is in the news is because it fits with the STRIB's stance on the matter. Besides, I doubt it is everyone at General Mills. Given my decades of experience in the corporate world, it is more like a few high-level managers doing the politically correct dance for show while the minions who disagree (or don't care) are forced to work in silence for fear of speaking what they believe because they would lose their jobs. I would like to know why this is an issue for the workplace?

When is the party of less government going to start gaverning and stop forcing their self righteous views on the citizens?

All aboard for the future.

It is interesting that companies, such as General Mills and a few others, have suddenly found a voice in this (of all) political issues. Could the fear (or perhaps actual threat) of a LGBT boycott be the reason? Saul Alinsky, anyone?

John Helmberger is straight up wrong. Do you realize how many gay couples have children? General Mills is making a smart business decision and that's really all it is. It's a shame Minnesota as a whole is not as progressive on this issue; we usually lead with distinction not follow with embarrassment.

General Mills has no business getting publicly involved in controversial social/political issues like "gay marriage." There are undoubtedly many General Mills employees who support the amendment, but are intimidated into silence by the diversity commissars who are apparently running their HR Department.

No more Wheaties for me. General Mills has every right to involve itself in the "gay marriage" debate, but I also have the right to boycott their products.
