"Our original goal was to support Starbucks for being so supportive of our community and our rights.
"We specifically chose a brick-and-mortar chain to have visible support around the country on Tuesday, Aug. 7, 2012, in direct response to Mike Huckabee’s Chick-fil-A Day."
In an effort to heighten awareness for all companies and nonprofits contributing to the fight for marriage equality, we’ve decided to rename August 7 as National Marriage Equality Day...
This expansion of focus is the result of the direct encouragement of Starbucks Corporate Headquarters who wanted other equality-minded companies and organizations to share in the appreciation.

National nonprofit organizations fighting for LGBT equality...:
Courage Campaign Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Freedom to Marry Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) Lambda Legal Marriage Equality USA National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (The Task Force) National Youth Advocacy Coalition (NYAC) NOH8 Campaign Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG) White Knot
A partial list of national and international brands that support LGBT rights (feel free to add more in the comments):
Abercrombie & Fitch Absolut Vodka Amazon.com Delta Disney Ford General Mills Google J.C. Penney JP Morgan Kenneth Cole Kimberly-Clark (maker of Kleenex, Huggies, Kotex, Scott, Depends, Wypall) Kimpton Hotels Levi-Strauss Macy’s Marshalls Microsoft Nike Sears Southwest Airlines Starbucks Target Tiffany & Co. T.J. Maxx"
I noticed that as well.
Sometimes I wonder if this companies just got railroaded and harassed into signing on, and resent being listed and “outed” like this.
No doubt on Aug 1 some of them suddenly “saw the light” and wished they were on the other side.
most of those companies never get my money anyway but I am telling others about starbucks, Apple, Google, Target especially as its back to school soon and many parents now have said they will not get their shoddy all the same clothing from there .
They called a mulligan?
Who said they could have a day for unnatural sodomite pseudo-marriage??? ...and calling it a “national day” to boot! What arrogance! I acknowledge no such thing!
The backlash is in full swing now. JC Penney just fired their CEO who thought the gay marriage stance was a good marketing idea. We all know how well that one is working out for their bottom line.
Since these companies are now listed by this group, I would say that the CFA appreciation day scared the crap out of them and I would expect all sorts of under the radar statements are in the works.
This whole thing was such a huge backfire that I would assume any company getting under the rainbow banner is either woefully stupid or engages in self masochism. Either way, their days in business are numbered.

Having that list directly from you makes it easier to figure out what companies to avoid. This saved me a lot of time rather than looking them up on my own.

The same way Jesse Jackson would shake down companies.
What ***hole declared the 7th “National” Homosexual “Marriage” Equality Day? Did the Kenyan do this as another “In Your Face” to decent Americans?
Home depot is a msive company who gives their money tot he homostapo and actually has job fairs for them.

The rise and fall of the gay reich.
I don’t see Apple on that list.
I do, however, see Microsoft.
Maybe starting a list of verified supporters of these Gestapo
tactics should be a permanent sidebar item?
Starbutts?
D!c&-Fil-A?
No, wait. I have it.
Long John's Quiver... Two Guys or Two Girls...
The Donut Hole... Big Weiners... Pizza Butt...
Something tells me the idea will fail.
.
agreed, there are many on here and elsewhere which have no clue that their money helps the lefts destruction and the Christian bigotry.
As if the LGBT-LMNOPs goons weren’t already overly-emotional drama hogs.
Load them up with coffee and watch them become even more obnoxious.
