ROFLMAO!!! Is this not typical of the utter ignorance of the Liberal Left? My understanding is that STARBUCKS has "BEGGED" the LGBT NOT to have a "special day" at their places of business!
SIMPLE to understand why!!! Lately, any GAYS threatening to KISS in a place of business would be a certain "Kiss of Death" for that business! :) LOL
STARBUCKS Latte with your Chick-Fil-A???

The
fast-food social-issues war rages on. Last Wednesday there was
Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day, which was a huge success and led to record
sales. (And at least one dude getting fired
for picking an unfortunate method of dissent.) And in response, last
Friday there was supposed to be a
People-of-the-Same-Gender-Kissing-Each-Other Day at Chick-fil-A, but it
ended up attracting more media than protesters.
How else are liberals in good standing supposed to
prove that people who disagree with them about gay marriage are evil
bigots who are bigoted and evil? How are they supposed to express their
righteous indignation? How are they supposed to vent?
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.
And by “more subdued,” they mean “completely ignored.”
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.
Wow, that’s a lot! I’m going to go ahead and predict that National
Marriage Equality Day is going to be very successful. And that
somehow
it’s going to “counter” the thing that happened last week that they
didn’t like, via some process that has yet to be explained. I figure it
was called Supporting Businesses By Giving Them Your Money,
which is pretty much how our society operates. I don’t get how that
“counters” Chick-fil-A’s sales.
It’ll also be amusing to see if the people who dismissed the Chick-fil-A buycott will change their tune.
Question Closed
Yet another reason not to give them my business or money.
That's exactly what the response was for Chick-fil-A. Good, support Starbucks. Again, and I can't stress this enough, we like it. Spend money, buy coffee. Starbucks buys from a lot of ethical companies that support conservative causes. Win-win.
Silly folks. That kiss-in crap was FUNNY! Like children crying 'look at me, look at me!'. Same folks that do not want to be equal - they want to be special.
As opposed to "did" attend.
From the Blaze.....
"....This morning, one day after the pro-gay marriage event was held, the Facebook event page shows that only 37,802 people planned to attend. And the fan page for the “National Marriage Equality Day” has only 970 “likes.” Of course, this dearth in attendance, especially when compared with the Chick-fil-A protest, can be potentially chalked up to a number of factors (and consider that we’re basing actual turnout here upon the number of people who pledged social media support)."
I'm actually pro-gay marriage, but I think just choosing to not go to Chick-Fil-A is enough... there's no need for the kiss-ins or trying to flood other businesses as a "hey, you, we have support, too!"
It's natural... people want to lash out against the things that offend them, and it's just like religious conservatives who choose to no longer buy Oreos, or shop at J.C. Penney, and all of that. And really, it makes sense, on both sides... why give your money to something, if that money is used by the company to support something you're entirely against? At least, as long as you have alternatives.
The only good I can see in this Starbucks rush (and the conservatives rushing in to support Chick-Fil-A) is that the support of these companies is good for the economy... but really, it's not like people are going to start purchasing from these places more often... which is what makes it futile, even if it is a nice idea.
.....could make a meal off those Suckas!! ;)
I tend to support local, anyway, so I won't be storming Starbucks, either. :-)
I'll admit, a lot of liberals do pointless things... so do a lot of conservatives. A lot of us don't, too, on both sides, and prefer to see it as it is.
And of course most Starbucks customers are straight... the majority of the population, in every species, is straight,
