We thought this was joke, but sadly it's not. An anti-gay group called Heterosexual Awareness Month (because clearly we're shockingly unaware of the heteros out there) is providing the “official certificate of heterosexuality ready to print and hang on your wall!”
But not you, ya know, because you're gay.

Good to see that Oreo has not stopped pushing the envelope following the Gay Pride rainbow ad that became an instant viral hit over summer! To raise awareness about October's designation as National Bullying Prevention Month, the cookie maker has released another creative ad that's sure to spark some controversy.
Though summertime's rainbow Oreo advertisement may have fired up a small portion of angry anti-gay customers, it actually increased the brand's likability and overall perception by 15 percent. Maybe Oreo's latest creative cookie art can do the same as it wraps up its 100th anniversary year?
It must suck to be a homophobe with a sweet tooth! They're losing all the best treats!

Apologies to the small minority of homophobic Americans, but the corporations that make all the food in your pantries are coming out of the closet left and right to support LGBT rights. Since the Pride-celebrating rainbow Oreo cookie has gone viral, Buzzfeed went ahead and imagined what other snack foods would look like if they came out of the closet.
