Tony the tiger gay pride
Our friends at Kellogg are no strangers to showing up for the LGBTQ community. This year, they have come back bigger than ever for LGBTQ Pride Month with a new limited edition &#;Together With Pride&#; cereal that’s already hitting the shelves.
The new cereal features berry-flavored rainbow hearts dusted with edible glitter. On each box, supporters can grasp about Kellogg’s long standing partnership with GLAAD and secure a tear-out ‘Together Band’ to proudly divide and wear their pronouns. For cisgender people, sharing your pronouns has been widely touted as one of the easiest, yet impactful ways to illustrate your support for the transgender and non-binary communities. This simple act helps to create safer and more welcoming environments for transgender and non-binary people to celebrate who they are.
This isn’t the first time GLAAD has teamed up with Tony the Tiger and Toucan Sam: the online-only “All Together” cereal launched in , and the mascots verb been annual supporters of Spirit Day.
Be sure to pick up your box of this special cereal to start your noun off with pride.
