If you don't buy Starbucks' burnt coffee, the American Taliban wins
Posted by Jill | 1:25 PM

Pam unearths the latest company to be targeted by anti-gay bigots, as announced by "Concerned Women of America":

After nearly a decade of lying low, Starbucks has reentered the homosexual rights movement in a few ways that have put at least one conservative watchdog group on alert. The world’s most famous coffee shop chain has begun a program called “The Way I See It,” which is a collection of thoughts, opinions and expressions provided by notable figures that now appear on Starbucks coffee cups, according to the chain’s website.

But one particular quote -- #43 -- blatantly pushes the homosexual agenda. It’s by Armistead Maupin, who wrote “Tales of the City,” a bestseller-turned-PBS drama advocating the homosexual lifestyle, and it reads: “My only regret about being gay is that I repressed it for so long. I surrendered my youth to the people I feared when I could have been out there loving someone. Don’t make that mistake yourself. Life’s too [expletive] short.”

Concerned Women for America, one of the nation’s leading conservative public policy organizations, is sounding the alarm about the cups after one of its employees received one when she purchased coffee from one of the stores.


What exactly IS the "homosexual lifestyle"? Is it some kind of weird, Rick Santorum fantasy world in which men have sex with male dogs? Is it men dressed up like women at the gay pride parade? Is it soft-core porn involving blondes with huge silicone bags under their chest skin lapping at each other while looking as if they'd rather be watching Emeril Live? Is it Messrs. ModFab pledging to love and honor and be faithful in front of their family and friends? Oh, do, pray tell me what it is.

So Starbucks is campaigning on their cups so that gay kids don't have to go through their lives being miserable and living a lie, and it's pissing off the American Taliban, eh? This means I'm going to enjoy the iced latte I just bought from Starbuck's that much more.
