Starbucks says we don't want Traditional Marriage Business

Excerpted from EXAMINER:

"At the Starbucks annual shareholders meeting on Wednesday, CEO Howard Schultz sent a clear message to anyone who supports traditional marriage over gay marriage: we don’t want your business. After saying Starbucks wants to “embrace diversity of all kinds,” he told a shareholder who supports traditional marriage that he should sell his shares and invest in some other company.

According to a report by Forbes, Schultz seemed a bit intolerant of any Starbucks shareholders who opposed gay marriage for moral or religious reasons. During the meeting, shareholder Tom Strobhar (who founded the Corporate Morality Action Center) pointed out that after the company voiced its support for a referendum backing gay marriage in Washington state, a boycott by traditional marriage supporters caused a drop in sales revenue. Schultz told him “You can sell your shares in Starbucks and buy shares in another company” if he did not agree with the company’s pro-gay marriage stand.

Despite strong opposition from the religious and political right, support for gay marriage in America has risen in recent years. The rise of support for gay marriage has also seen a rise of intolerance for those who oppose it. Many who joined the boycott of Starbucks last year were dismissed as bigots, even though the boycott did cause revenue to drop. A website, DumpStarbucks.com, has earned tens of thousands of supporters who refuse to buy from the coffee chain in response."

Marriage is a union to promote the next generation, continue civilization. Traditional marriage and its values are being destroyed by the evolution of perversion.

I guess if they don't want my business I've bought my last cup of coffee there. Bye, bye!
Thanks,

Like many people the man enjoys his right to freedom of speech and expression but obviously does not feel others should have that same right so long as they disagree with him. He is a fool for putting his opinions on a topic like this out in the public while being in the position he's in and not expecting some king of a backlash.

A Perfect example of Republican -ignorance.

I think it is interesting how you make believe Republican's ,,say you want the Government out of your live's ,,,,That is the True definition of Republican Hippocracy --You believe that you should be he one's to tell a Woman whether she is to live or die-and you think you -should be the one's to tell people if they can get married or not.

True Government intervention Republican style. Domionionism--driven by Plutocracy.
