The candy that's known for its iconic rainbow is ditching their colorful symbol for Pride Month to celebrate and support the LGBTQ+ community

Skittles are going colorless with both their packaging and their product for all of June, saying"only #OneRainbow matters." Gray limited-edition"Pride Pack" candy bags will hit the shelves of CVS and select Walmart stores next week until the end of June. What about the flavors? Not to fear. Even though you won't be able to see the rainbow colored candies, you'll still get to taste the rainbow with the same original fruity Skittles flavors.

— SKITTLES May 20, 2020 This June marks 51 years since the Stonewall uprising in June 1969 in New York City, which helped spark the modern gay rights movement. Most Pride events take place each year in June, although some cities hold their celebrations at other times of the year. During the month, the world's LGBTQ+ communities come together and celebrate the freedom to be themselves.

Skittles is for the gays?! I remember when the most controversial thing about candy was whether or not you want the nuts in your chocolate.

This is the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of 🙄

Omg are you kidding me RN !!!!! I'm so excited to finally be able to eat a full bag after 43 years! Allergic to red dye 40 sucks!!!!

The rainbow belongs to God! Misuse it at your own peril! Remember, when Judgement Day comes, it will be too late to make the right choice then. Being Gay and Lesbian is an abomination in God's eyes, and the only place they will go is the Lake of Fire.

Ain't that the reverse?

Really dumb.

Pathetic

They could just handed out free Skittles to all LGBQT person and their families.

Wonderful 🌈

Why do they even have a month?

Will we still be able to taste the rainbow?

That’s gay

Ditched the rainbow to act pretty gay...

OMG. A candy. The Left world has lost it.

How stupid!

Just why ? It's not called anti rainbow or some this to support the community.. it's call 'black and white' colour.

I don’t care!!!!!

Just why .

Looks like Skittles thinks white is right for pride month.

A bit ironic don't you think?

I don’t get it. Isn’t the rainbow a gay pride symbol?

Nobody will buy them now

But how can I taste the rainbow now :(

Only one rainbow matters? What...white?

If Obama had a gay son......

But..?

HONK HONK!!!

💙❤️💚😊👏👏👏👏👏

Cover this cnn. The racist dem candidate

White pride skittles?

Soooooo stupiddddd I am losing brain cells over how stupid this

Who the hell is going to eat grey candy? Nasty no matter who you are pandering to

Every store I go in that has these I will stick my knife throw. Making them unsellable.

I dint see it

so the skittles are just the straight pride flag now

What I want to know is: when was the legal right to the Rainbow given to the alphabet community? I was always of the assumption that it was God's promise to mankind to not flood the whole earth again. I'm bi, by the way, but not part of the alphabet lot. Far too 'left' for me!

Shouldn't they have the skittles rainbow colored, though, since gay pride involves displaying rainbow colors? I don't get it.

Hmmm, I guess this move makes this queer candy.😊

Thanks for supporting human rights in general.

The shelter closed May 2, leaving its former residents in a lurch amid the pandemic. NBCOUT Very sad. The first two people who apply, and who fit my criteria, can come stay here.

Over half of LGBTQ Europeans are not out about their identities, report findsOver half of LGBTQ people in Europe are almost never open about their sexual orientations or gender identities, a new survey says. - NBCOUT NBCOUT The LGBTQ ‘community’ is the most fragmented group ever. Why would someone who struggled with gender identity have to share their journey with the world? The ppl I know who have transitioned don’t want to share their pain with everyone. And nobody should care who they sleep with. NBCOUT That sounds about right. Irrespective of orientation, unless someone is married and has the obligatory spousal pic in their office or shows up at a function with a very significant other I really don’t wanna know who, what, when or where they’re fvcking. NBCOUT Over half.. so what's that, like 50 people?
