The problem is one of numbers. Christians/Conservatives outnumber activist homosexuals by at least a couple of percents. And if the Lgb@%^ crowd does manage to overtly homosexualize Starbuicks then a lot of Starbucks mildly or fashionably left clientele will gradually become less frequent customers or cease to patronize Starbucks altogether. They will twitter and facebook their undying support for the 3-5% but they are not really comfortable in places where there are more than a couple at a them. Some won’t even understand why they are just not feeling up to Starbucks today.

I can’t join the stay-away campaign. I have never been in one of those places. Starbucks impressed me as being aimed at yuppy queers from the outset.

Checked starbucks closest to my home this morning around 10am. No line outside. No line inside. Nobody at the counter. About 12 people hanging out in the large lobby.

FLOP!!!!

There is a Cam Le in Da Nang and a Cau Cam Le (Cam Le Bridge). There were some marines there once.

I’m a regular at our local Starbucks. In fact, the gang their knows my days off, because that’s when I take my three-year-old in for a “bistro box” breakfast.

Of course, now I bring my Chic-Fil-A biscuits in with me.
