KSTP 5 ABC/The Associated Press:
A national group opposed to gay marriage blasted Golden Valley-based General Mills' decision to oppose a marriage amendment in Minnesota, calling it "one of the dumbest corporate PR stunts of all time."
General Mills said Thursday it opposes a proposed Minnesota constitutional amendment to bay gay marriage, the largest company in the state to come out against the measure so far.
... Minnesota for Marriage, a main group pushing for the amendment's passage, accused General Mills of "pandering to a small but powerful interest group."
"By taking this position, General Mills is saying to Minnesotans and people all around the globe that marriage doesn't matter to them," Chairman John Helmberger said in a statement.
... Businesses have found it can be risky to take sides on polarizing social issues. Target Corp. suffered a backlash two years ago after making a political donation to a Republican candidate for governor who opposed gay marriage. The company was criticized again earlier this month for selling gay pride T-shirts to raise money for a group working to defeat the gay marriage ban.

Jcpenneys stock price has fallen since pushing the gay agenda. It may take a while but the other companies that support gays will go out of business.
Gays, or gay marriage? Either way, you're delirious if you believe what you say. Starbucks is not going to go out of business because they support marriage equality. The same goes for Amazon, Nike, Microsoft, Apple, Google. The list goes on.

I expect that things are about to change very rapidly, in terms of the public perception of the marriage corruption movement and its broader, anti-Christian agenda.
The defeat of Obama and the defeat of pseudo-marriage this fall will do a lot to make this already-evident change impossible to ignore, even for folks who get their news from the pro-SS"M" media.
LOL. What's next, "DumpGeneralMills.com"? Losers.
JC Penny is getting killed - a $165m dollar loss last quarter, and they fired their VP for marketing yesterday.
