After going to Starbucks, can it really be that much of a surprise that they support gay pride or Planned Parenthood. Everything in there store screams liberal agenda. If this lady is just now becoming aware of it, then she's had her head buried in the sand, or has just overlooked it to feed her need for caffeine.
They support a lot of local events, from financial support to allowing groups to post notices of meetings or events. If this is an issue for some, then I have no problem with them letting their money speak for them. If you object to a company's contribution to a cause, you have every right to refuse to be a patron of the company.
I'm not sure this equates to "promoting the gay agenda", whatever that means. I'm a gay man, and I'm still waiting on my briefing about the "gay agenda".
Don't pretend the Agenda isn't there:

Are all your homo boyfriends conservative too?
This is an interesting question, and one I hope we can discuss with mutual respect and honesty, if not agreement. And we're not going to come to complete agreement, because I'm an Christian of an evangelical mindset, and I have strong opinions on the morality of a homosexual lifestyle.
That aside, here's my take. I can "accept" that some people choose to live a homosexual lifestyle, but when I'm put in a position that I must "approve" or "celebrate" that lifestyle, then the "homosexual agenda" is in play (from my perspective).
On the one hand, if two men choose to live together and share their lives in an intimate way, that's their choice, and I can accept it.
If I'm expected to applaud the prospect of a Gay Pride Parade, or if the school system is exposing children to views that their parents clearly don't agree with, then that's never going to get my approval.
Frankly, the printing on a coffee cup from a store I don't frequent is not that big a deal to me. Fisting lessons in high schools are.
I suggest that she really likes their coffee for the caffeine.
