Marriage equality supporters deliver huge 'thank you' card to Starbucks

The card, delivered to Starbucks' headquarters in Seattle this week, had more than 650,000 signatures from people thanking the coffee chain for supporting marriage equality and not giving in to anti-gay forces who oppose same-sex marriage and claim they're boycotting SBUX stores. Starbucks rep James Olson, "We are long-standing supporters of a culture of diversity, and inclusion and equality for everybody, and I'll share this with our fellow leaders and partners (employees). Thank you very much." * Same-sex marriage defenders deliver card to Starbucks

This is the reason for my no longer doing business with Starbucks. Starbucks can support an effort to force a point of view on the nation that runs counter to thousands of years of human history, but I won't support it.

"Counter to thousands of years of human history"? You do know that gay people aren't something that just magically appeared within the last few decades, right? =/ Good grief.

And honestly, how does allowing same sex couples to marry affect you at all? Unless you're gay, then it doesn't. Period. So let go of the bigotry, seriously.
