The majority of the posters on this thread claim to never set foot in the place, so why do they care what is on the stupid cups?

SF is right... Don't be SURPRISED when others might disagree.

and don't be SURPRISED when others are starting to get tired of your "anything goes" mindset.

Sorry SF.... this semi-rant is not directed at you....

I think we are losing sight of the issue here.

Starbucks is a privately owned company (publicly traded with stockholders?) and can do what it pleases, as long as it does not break any laws, which I understand this cup does not.

I am just trying to boil it down:

Question 1: Is Starbucks or any other publicly traded company doing the right thing by openly promoting a gay lifestyle?

Question 2: If you disagree that openly promoting a homosexual lifestyle is a proper thing to do, can you take offense and boycott their product without being (or labeled as being) a dinosaur, homophobic, religious zealot (you name it)?

Question 3: If you are a homosexual and you think it is a good thing to have a pro-homosexual lifestyle promoted by a national chain, is it acceptable to vilify and slander those who disagree with your lifestyle and make their feelings known in a non-violent way?

Sorry, you won't be able to get rid of homosexuals anytime soon. Or Starbucks.
