We are urging customers across the globe to 'Dump Starbucks' because it has taken a corporate-wide position that the definition of marriage between one man and one woman should be eliminated and that same-sex marriage should become equally 'normal'. As such, Starbucks has deeply offended at least half its US customers, and the vast majority of its international customers.
On January 24th, 2012, Starbucks issued a memorandum declaring that same-sex marriage 'is core to who we are and what we value as a company.
Starbucks also used its resources to participate in a legal case seeking to overturn a federal law declaring marriage as the union of one man and one woman.
In many areas of the world where Starbucks does business, the concept of 'gay marriage' is unheard of and deeply offensive to cultural, moral and religious values.
In taking these actions, Starbucks has declared a culture war on all people of faith (and millions of others) who believe that the institution of marriage as one man and one woman is worth preserving.
A portion of every cup of coffee purchased at a Starbucks anywhere in the world goes to fund this corporate assault on marriage.
We urge consumers across the globe to join the 'Dump Starbucks' campaign.
In addition to Starbucks coffee shops, the Starbucks Corporation also owns Seattle's Best Coffee, Evolution Fresh, Tazo Tea, Torrefazione Italia Coffee, and La Boulange.
Please sign the petition to register your protest.
I dumped Starbucks years ago because of their Political Crap!
Been a Loyal Paneras Coffee Customer ever since, and they are so much more customer friendly and have actual Healthy Foods and Breads, and freshly baked, verses the overpriced Crap Starbucks expects one to buy! Starbucks is just one more Liberal/Progressive Arm of the Demorat Party, just like Ben and Jerrys!
P.S.: Hell will feeze over before I buy one more ounce of Ben and Jerrys too! Breyers is just fine and every other good Ice Cream as well! Screw Ben and Jerrys! I’d rather buy 10 gallons of Bugeyes Piglousy Crappo Ice Bullcrap! than an ounce of B&J’s!
No problem here. Starbucks coffee is awful, tastes burnt. IMO, people go there to look good to their peers, not to drink the coffee.
