Gay Pride Oreos cause Fundies to lose their cookiesfrom the Christian Science Monitor:

The ad, which featured an oversized cookie with rainbow-hued frosting layers above the date and accompanying caption, “Proudly support love!” was originally posted to Oreo’s profile Monday evening. June has special significance in the LGBT community. President Barack Obama declared the month Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered Pride Month on June 1, 2009. Many US cities, including New York and San Francisco, held annual Pride events over the weekend. So far, over 167,000 Facebook users have “liked” the photoshopped image of the self-proclaimed “world’s favorite cookie.” It has racked up 48,853 shares and over 22,000 comments – not all of them positive, and quite a few vitriolic. Website Buzzfeed was one of the first sites to aggregate some of the more negative feedback as rumblings of a possible boycott grew louder Tuesday morning. ................(more) The complete piece is at: http://www.csmonitor.com/Business/2012/0626/Pride-themed-Rainbow-colored-Oreo-stirs-up-more-than-milk

7. "Gay Pride" or "LGBT Pride" would be better

It is really pride when it dare not speak its name?
