Please support Starbucks' support of marriage equality

Some of you probably know an organization called the National Organization for Marriage is calling for a boycott of Starbucks because of their support for gay marriage. Wheterh you're a Starbucks fan or not these neocan movements get attention and can't be viewed as "the voice of Americans". If the spirit moves, please go to the link and show some support.

That any of the people calling for the boycott or the idiots following them patronize Starbucks. The crazy right views Starbucks as elitist, even though the chain just serves coffee and sells sundry items such as pastries and cookies. I don't drink coffee, but Starbucks sells other items, I will make it a point to stop in and shop at a Starbucks shop regularly.

I've got my issues too but this one I think ends up being firing at one another over the wall of Starbucks, so to speak. I worry about the left getting laissez-faire and this becoming what the GOP can claim is the norm because it screams the loudest. So I click.

I've had it with these bullies who think that equal rights should apply to them -- god forbid anyone criticize their religion in any way -- but should NOT apply to people they don't agree with.

Fuckers.

they refuse to submit to the whim of the sheep that are calling for a boycott of Starbucks
because they allow CCW in their establishments...

I suspect that's going to pose a dilemma for some... not just supporters of the "National Organization for Marriage”, but for the anti-2nd amendment Neanderthals at the Brady Campaign/GVA and here on DU as well.
