The CEO of coffee chain Starbucks is earning praise from same sex marriage advocates for the company's staunch support of gay rights, including urging a group of activist shareholders to sell their shares if they don't like the company's policies.At the Starbucks annual general meeting on Friday, chief executive Howard Schultz was accosted by Tom Strobhar, the head of a group called the National Organization for Marriage, an activist group that has lobbied hard against recent legislative moves to legalize same sex marriage and other contentious gay rights issues...."If you feel, respectfully, that you can get a higher return than the 38 per cent you got last year, it’s a free country," Schultz said. "You can sell your shares of Starbucks and buy shares in another company. Thank you very much." His reaction drew loud applause from the audience.
It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.
"I don't give a fuck about race...I'm white, I'm American, but that shit don't matter. I'm human."
No it is a matter of Americans not knowing coffee from arse.
People honest to god drink coffee cold. This is something that never ceases to amaze me.
