78. Starbucks didn't get rid of the pro-gay ones.
That was Baylor University specifically that did.

The way I see the Warren controversy is as a matter of balance. Warren's response was prompted by an evolutionist's quote. In terms of politics, Al Franken donated a quote, as did Jonah Goldberg, so it all breaks even on the end.

In terms of being offended, I can understand why you believe the way you did. But for a religious person, the evolutionist's quote may be offensive to them. I don't think Starbucks is trying to do anything besides create a marketplace of ideas.
