Starbucks isn't going to go broke because of conservatives.

Attacks? Lol.

Histrionics.

Also, I'm all for attacks on that "culture." That's a far cry from attacking an individual.

The only appropriate action is to rile up all the leftists now. Whip them into a frenzy over Starbucks insulting the LGBLTs.

BREAKING: In the middle of Pride Month, Starbucks BANS Pride decorations in stores across the United States.

For the last two weeks, Starbucks workers have taken to social media to report that the company is no longer allowing Pride decorations in-store. This seems to be the first year the publicly "pro-LGBTQ+" company has taken this kind of stance.

Taking a cue from Target, who bowed to anti-LGBTQ+ pressure and removed pride merchandise, corporate and district management are taking down the pride decorations that have become an annual tradition in stores.

In union stores, where Starbucks claims they are unable to make “unilateral changes” without bargaining, the company took down Pride decorations and flags anyway - ignoring their own anti-union talking point.

Starbucks is powered by many queer workers, but management has failed to materially support the LGBTQ+ community. Last October, some workers have reported that their transgender benefit plan changed, causing them to pay out of pocket fees and lose access to certain providers.

If Starbucks was a true ally, they would stand up for us, especially during a time when LGBTQ+ people are under attack. A company that cares wouldn’t turn their back on the LGBTQ+ community to protect their already astronomically high profits.

True allyship with the LGBTQ+ community is negotiating a union contract that legally locks-in our benefits, our freedom of expression, and ways to hold management accountable.

Thank you for saying that. No what that establishment that screams that wants is above equal and that which benefits them. Everyone who says they want "equal rights" really wants things that benefit them personally.

They don’t want equal treatment, they want special treatment and designation.

Maybe the pendulum is swinging back the way of sanity where workplaces are workplaces, not nurseries for adult babies with maladaptive emotional development.

whatever. Still not buying overpriced diabetes in a cup that could’ve been boycotted to begin with on that basis alone.

Correct. The company is giving you a paycheck and that is all they should have to worry about. I'm all for a company doing what they want but there are consequences to actions. Alienating a large portion of your customers is one. The other is that whatever you give that group will never be enough. All of that money for "trans benefits" and the like could have been put towards wages

They consider any judgmental Biblical-based moral rejection of their CHOICE/lifestyle as a form of psychological “violence”, TM. And that makes them become justifiably violent.
