According to AmericanOverlook.com, during the annual Starbucks shareholder meeting, CEO Howard Shultz had the audacity to send a message to everyone who buys coffee at the large chair:
If you support traditional marriage over gay marriage, Starbucks doesn’t want your business.
Wow!
Because Starbucks aims to “embrace diversity of all kinds,” Shultz told a specific shareholder, who supports traditional marriage he should sell his shares and go to another company. Therefore, Starbucks aims to embrace only radical viewpoints and is intolerant of any variance. source: Forbes
Give them exactly what they seek. Brand Starbucks as totally intolerant of traditional values and stop buying their product.
Forbes magazine has reported that Shultz is extremely intolerant of any shareholder who opposed gay marriage.
During the meeting, Tom Strobhar, founder of the Corporate Morality Action Center and Starbucks shareholder, pointed out that when Starbucks backed gay marriage in Washington State, traditional marriage supports boycotted the coffee store and sales venues dropped.
When Strobhar mentioned the facts, Schultz responded by telling him to sell his shares and invest in another company.
FYI – Chick-fil-a has just launched an excellent premium coffee…and they actually sell very good food, too.

Starbucks lost my business years ago, when they became a political group and service provider that is not inclusive of all people.
