发帖数: 4174 | 1 NOM Declares War on Starbucks for Being LGBT-Friendly
By Neal Broverman
The antigay National Organization for Marriage is boycotting Starbucks
because it believes the coffee chain took “sides in a culture war” by
supporting same-sex marriage in Washington State.
NOM officials apparently queried Starbucks board members at a shareholder
meeting on Wednesday in Seattle, site of Starbucks’ headquarters.
Apparently, the board members voiced support for marriage equality in
Washington — which passed the legislature in February and goes into effect
on June.
“We respect the important role of businesses in providing goods, services
and jobs, and that people of diverse moral views build great companies
working together,” NOM president Brian Brown wrote in a statement. “But
Starbucks has corporately, as an organization, endorsed and helped pass gay
marriage in the state of Washington. Its executive vice president of partner
resources has stated that gay marriage ‘is aligned with Starbucks business
practices and upholds our belief in the equal treatment of partners. It is
core to who we are and what we value as a company.’ Corporations should not
take sides in a culture war that pits a company against half the American
people, and nearly all its consumers in some international markets.”
NOM launched a website called DumpStarbucks.com and said it intends to place
advertisements throughout the U.S., the Middle East, and Southeast Asia
that encourage people to stop patronizing Starbucks because the company is
gay-friendly. NOM is also asking people to call their local Starbucks and
complain to the manager about the coffee purveyor’s gay marriage stance.
“We will not tolerate an international company attempting to force its
misguided values on citizens,” Brown said in a statement. “The majority of
Americans and virtually every consumer in some countries in which Starbucks
operates believe that marriage is between one man and one woman. They will
not be pleased to learn that their money is being used to advance gay
marriage in society.”
NOM also calls Starbucks officials liars because they “advance gay marriage
,” though they claim on their website to not support political or religious
causes.
“NOM is falling back on their typical tactics. Starbucks has been a vocal
supporter of marriage equality for loving same-sex couples — views that are
in-line with the majority of Americans — and that enrages NOM,” HRC
president Joe Solmonese writes in a press release. “As a result, NOM is
throwing a temper-tantrum and encouraging its few supporters to
intentionally harm the economic well-being of Starbucks employees all over
the world.” | g********d
