More than 3,500 Starbucks workers across the country have shut down 150 stores over stalled contract negotiations and the alleged removing of Pride Month décor.
In Los Angeles, a group of unionized workers protested outside their Cypress Park store while wearing rainbow clothing and holding signs.
'Starbucks has taken down Pride flags in most stores and I feel a bit lied to as a place that wants you to express yourself and it encourages inclusivity,' said one employee.
The employee, who identified herself as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, said she sees the removal of the décor as a betrayal of the company's values.
'It just shows that Starbucks doesn't really have my back, or my community's back.'
Last week, Starbucks Workers United alleged that the company was not allowing employees to put up pride decorations in some stores.
Starbucks has denied that employees' claims that they are scaling back their support for the LGBT+ community.
'We want to be crystal clear – Starbucks has been and will continue to be at the forefront of supporting the LGBTQIA2+ community,' said Starbucks CEO Laxman Narasimhan and Executive VP and President for North America Sara Trilling said.
'We will not waver in that commitment!' the pair added.
The company officials also said they have not revised their guidelines for decorations within stores and that they encourage Pride Month celebrations.

Awwwwww! 😂😂😂😂😂👍
I know.
Seems like Starbucks can’t win for losing.
It should be up to each franchise. Kind of stupid for Starbucks to celebrate pride month in Alabama. It wouldn’t be popular with the customers.
Another of those situations where I can only wish both sides lose.
Well, heck - looks like I couldn’t have gone to the store I wasn’t going to go to anyway. Pretty shattering.
Awww... The poor babies can’t celebrate what homosexuals do with their anuses at work...
Why should only LGBT groups get the rights to put their flags just every where and not other special interest groups? Why so much privilege given to LGBT? Can’t LGBT become a more inclusive ideology and let other flags exist and be flagged everywhere too?
There are hundreds of other special interest groups and ideologies (having flags) willing to have the same exposure as LGBT.
We could have a Red Cross month for example. Having red crosses everywhere.
I would like that for a change.
Exactly.
Never been.
Never going.
Everyone can express themselves except for Christians and white people.
‘And who will THAT inconvenience?’
“It wouldn’t be popular with the customers.”
And that’s the point the company is determining. The employees don’t care about the customers, just their cause. It is a perfect example of the LGBT community not trying to be equal to the straight community like they sear is what their agenda is about.
They are only interested in their interests and not those of the people around them. They don’t want equality, they want privileges. And they want to call them rights which they aren’t. Their lifestyle only displays part of the whole picture of people in the world. So why should they be given special privileges for better treatment than their citizens around them?

No problem, would not patronize them before, more so now.
Lousy coffee from what i remember forced to choose it at 0300 in the Atlanta airport.
Get woke, go broke! Get woke, go broke! Get woke, go broke!
Starbucks needs to cowboy up and fire every scumbag that walked out. That’s childish, liberal grade school crap. Fire their asses. There are lots of illegal aliens flowing in who will take those jobs.
I'd like a 2nd Amendment Month.
2A flags everywhere!
The next time you go to Starbucks for a coffee latte and the barista asks you if you want fresh cream in it, watch out.
LGBTQIA2+
I can’t keep up with the letters, and now there’s a number in there?
The USA has been divided by the haters and communists and it worked. To me this looks like PR damage control by the $tarbuk$ people.
If gay people can’t make coffee, what can they do?
