After the best day in Chick-Fil-A sales history, gays are attempting to counter the massive support for this company by supporting Starbucks Coffee, which has come out in favor of gay marriage.

Will you go there?

And do you think this counter support of Starbucks will be successful?

Update to this story: As expected the gay day at Starbucks was a complete faliure. No more revenue was generated than any other day of selling coffee. Why? Because although gays are very vocal there are really very few of them in America. Only about 2%. And in a democracy the MAJORITY rules, not a miniscule fringe element of society.

supporting starbucks coffee favor gay marriage counter support starbucks successful

my answer is actually No because they are overpriced and not worth the money that I do not have to spend anyway.

I did not go there. I do not really like their coffee but I do like their stance (their new Blonde roast is very good though! Not to mention their frappicinos!)

Yeah, Starbucks has good coffee and they have a right to their beliefs

lol. You know it's funny... (Not really)... I love how when Chick-Fil-A went against same sex marriage, everyone defended their "Right to Opinion", yet when Starbucks does it... It's all "ew" or "I hate Gays, so NO!"... wtf!?

That's right, because unlike liberals they support free speech and capitalism.

You got a problem with that? Obviously you do.

ZeldaFan13 to Bill 2012/08/08 15:41:58 (edited)

There's a difference between Free Speech and Donating to Hateful Companies that support Bullying of LGBT Youth and Abuse/Torture of LGBT people ("Straight Camps" and "Ex Gay" Ministries)

Who ARE these hate groups you mindless liberals keep referring to?

Is Amazon.com a bigot company because they donated $2.5 MILLION (the largest-ever publicly reported donation to a marriage campaign) to the HATE GROUP Washington United for Marriage?

Being they donated the largest-ever publicly reported donation to a marriage campaign they are by your own definition the largest bigots in America.

reply
ZeldaFan13 to Koma 2012/08/10 18:39:00

You conservatives are the real mindless beings.

That wasn't a donation to a Hate Group, it was a donation to EQUALITY! That's not hate.

What is hate is when you donate to dicrminate, strip people of equal rights, and abuse/torture PEOPLE.

First, I didn't say Starbucks didn't have the right, but I also have the right to not support them if I want. Second, I do not like coffee, I do not drink coffee, I do not like the smell of coffee and Starbucks is ridicuiously priced. I also have the right to boycott companies that don't meet my moral standards.

So those that do the same as you do are Hypocrites because their opinion differs from your own?

It's your right to boycott and slander Chick-fil-A but it's Hypocritical to boycott Starbucks?

It's not equal rights you seek, it's special rights unique only to homosexuals.

I hope you get a clue when you grow up.

I am not "undecided."

Starbucks is a business I have patronized only one time. Their coffee is overpriced. If I were going to overpay for coffee, I would give my business to a company that is not attempting to force the gay agenda down my throat.

reply
Bill to Walt 2012/08/08 00:49:00

I don't think that Starbucks has ever even mentioned out loud that they support gay marriage. Gays probably found this out when they called the corporate office and threatened a "Kiss In" if Starbucks didn't give in to their demands. But as far as Starbucks shoving the gay agenda down your throat I hardly think that's something THEY'RE trying to do.

Well, there's no such thing as gay marriage. It's an oxymoron. I don't have an ax to grind when I hear the word corporation. Had Starbucks once, they seemed like pompous elitists. Stopped drinking coffee a long time ago, anyway (aside from a cure to migraines).

No, I don't intend to purchase from Starbucks. But I'm happy they've chosen to support their gay friendly businesses, rather than attacking businesses that support normal relationships. Much nicer approach. Constructive, not destructive. Very good.
