The Oreo Proud Parent campaign has been launched by the cookie brand to help highlight LGBTQ+ acceptance and inclusivity within families and beyond. The campaign was created in partnership with PFLAG and is being promoted with a new short film from the brand. The film sees a daughter visiting her parents with a new partner and feeling a sense of disapproval from her father only to have him embrace them both with a heart-warming gesture at the end.
The Oreo Proud Parent campaign is being promoted as part of LGBT History Month (October 1st to 31st) and will also see the brand give away special edition rainbow-themed cookies to help honor those who perform the acts of strong allies for the community.
