Gay marriage activists are planning to swarm Starbucks on Tuesday in an attempt to counter the record sales from last week’s Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.
The chicken chain enjoyed a surge of support during the Wednesday event, dreamed up by former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee after Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy went on the record backing the “biblical definition of the family unit.”
A follow-up protest from Chick-fil-A critics on Friday, which was dubbed Same Sex Kiss Day, was more subdued.
Advocates for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights are trying again Tuesday with National Marriage Equality Day, initiated by Equally Wed, a lesbian and gay wedding magazine. So far, nearly 28,000 people have signed up to attend.
The event was originally called National Starbucks Appreciation Day in honor of the coffee giant, which recently threw its support behind efforts to make gay marriage legal.
But several other holidays exist with the same name, including one created by gun rights groups. Starbucks’ corporate offices had nothing to do with those events nor with Tuesday’s planned gatherings....

Or......wait for it..... Perhaps a CFA coffee...? Would be hilarious if CFA’s coffee sales spike....
Our CFA actually offers FREE coffee from like 5 to 8 am or something...
Does this mean that now the “99%ers” now LOVE big business? My, what a wishy-washy, swishy-swashy, fairy footed crowd they are.
Why would they pick Starbucks ?
Do they expect NORMAL people to protest Starbucks? LMAO
The left can’t seem to decide whether they love or hate Starbucks. First it was trendy, then it was an evil symbol of global capitalism and now it’s ok again?
Whenever i am somewhat forced to get coffee at a starbucks I insist on ordering a “small” coffee. Don’t want a large or tall coffee. They don’t know how to react. :-). The place is a rip off and I don’t like pissing money away on coffee.
It is there day today . Is there any media coverage ?
look at the long lines here.
