Conservatives have called for a boycott of Skittles after the candy promoted Pride Month on its packaging.Every June, since 2020, Skittles, manufactured by candy giant Mars, Inc., has released a limited-edition pack of the fruit-flavored candy in honor of Pride Month.The limited-edition candies are devoid of color and come in special wrappers designed by LGBTQ artists. One dollar of every sale (up to $100,000) is donated to GLAAD.
The 2023 theme for the packaging is “There’s a story in every rainbow,” and the wrappers were created by five LGBTQ identified artists — Shanée Benjamin, Mady G, Symone Salib, Bianca Xunise, and Zipeng Zhu. Inside, a neutral, grey-colored candy is designed to convey that “only one rainbow matters” during Pride — the rainbow of LGBTQ people.Conservatives recently learned about the candy brand celebrating Pride Month and have begun falsely posting that the candy brand is “pushing medical transitions on children,” by raising money for GLAAD.Oli London, an online personality known for his multiple plastic surgery procedures, was one of the loudest voices against the candy brand calling them “notorious.”“Skittles is raising money with each sale of their new ‘Pride it Forward’ kids candies for notorious LGBTQI+ lobby group GLAAD,” London’s post read alongside pictures of the packaging with the words “Black Trans Lives Matter” on the wrapper.
“The organization is one of the leading and most powerful LGBT groups pushing for medical transitions on children.”Skittles is raising money with each sale of their new ‘Pride it Forward’ kids candies for notorious LGBTQI+ lobby group GLAAD.
