About two weeks ago, I posted about a “support General Mills” event that was set up by LeftMN. The event – which was a counter-event to the Dump General Mills Rallies put on by Minnesota for Marriage – asked supporters of General Mills to also buy their products and donate them to the needy too.

In this video clip, Mark Bauer shares where the idea for the counter-event came from. Bauer created the Facebook page to encourage the purchase of General Mills products as a way of expressing gratitude for General Mills’ support of diversity and inclusion by opposing the mean-spirited marriage amendment.
