Gay dad scolds Mike Huckabee for blasting Doritos Rainbows: ‘You’re an idiot’
A gay dad is calling out former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee for taking issue with the makers of Doritos because they teamed up with the It Gets Better project for a limited-edition rainbow-colored selection of the savory snack.
It Gets Better is an initiative launched by writer and activist Dan Savage to help LGBTI youths struggling with their sexuality or gender identity. Savage has in the past called Huckabee out for his various positions against gay people and the presidential hopeful seems to be holding a grudge.
Huckabee wrote in a letter to Doritos parent company Frito Lay with the threat of boycott by the Christian community: ‘It is beyond me to understand how a responsible corporation would think that partnering with someone who spews the vicious vitriol that Savage does.’
Rob Watson, the father of two son, blasts Huckabee in a column posted by The New Civil Rights Movement: ‘I love the It Gets Better Project. They have provided inspiration and tangible help for teens at risk for suicide. It is a cause that no one in their right mind could be against. Yes, Mike Huckabee, you can take that for all it’s worth – you’re an idiot.’
‘ … Few have done so much harm to the true precepts of Christianity as has Mike Huckabee. I would go so far as to say that Huckabee is to the heart of Christ what Judas Iscariot was to Jesus. He betrays it with a kiss.’
Watson also wrote a letter directly to Doritos in which he states in part: ‘Put your rainbow chips in wide circulation. Don’t just let this be a limited campaign for the benefit of social media and a single check to the It Gets Better Project.
‘Let this be a message that American families see on each trip to the grocery store. Let the teen who is contemplating suicide because they fear the homophobic reaction of the world around them, that Mike Huckabee would prefer they live in, see the chips that tell them they are not alone.’
