   The National Legal and Policy Center, a conservative watchdog group, has   
   accused Oreo of “grooming children” because of the cookie company’s   
   longtime partnership with PFLAG, the country’s first and largest   
   organization dedicated to supporting, educating, and advocating for LGBTQ   
   people and their families.   
      
   In addition to publishing a 30-second video titled, “Is Oreo…Grooming   
   Children??” the organization writes: “NLPC owns stock in Oreo’s parent   
   company, Mondelez International, and will sponsor a shareholder proposal   
   at the annual meeting in May. The nonprofit corporate watchdog and   
   shareholder activist initiated its campaign to highlight the cookie-   
   maker’s inappropriate relationship with PFLAG after it noticed the brand’s   
   social media accounts – primarily on X.com (formerly Twitter) – were   
   heavily populated with posts in support of PFLAG’s various narratives,   
   causes and social advocacy.”   
      
   This isn’t the first time Oreo has come under fire from conservative   
   political groups and individual politicians for their support of PFLAG. As   
   Salon Food reported in 2022, after the company and organization partnered   
   on a tearjerker of a video about coming out called “The Note,” right-   
   leaning pundits, including Ben Shapiro, called for a boycott of the brand.   
   For his part, Newsmax host George Kelly tweeted a picture of Sesame   
   Street’s Cookie Monster with a rant that read, in part: “I do NOT like GAY   
   COOKIES.  'Sexuality' has NOTHING TO DO with the Cookie experience.   
   Cookies are for ALL!”
