Conservatives Are Furious at Skittles' Pro-Transgender Packaging
especially pro-transgender, messaging from companies and brands. Such messaging has been commonplace for years, but has recently faced increased backlash as conservatives have launched renewed opposition to LGBTQ+ communities.The pushback emerged on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, with a number of posts, including one from the popular Libs of TikTok account.
In addition to pushback against the pro-trans messaging, some users took issue with what appeared to be a drag queen on the packaging and accused the brand of "coming after your children.".@Skittles is trying to turn your kids into BLM & LGBTQ+ activists.
