Starbucks has banned Pride decorations in its stores halfway through Pride Month, the company’s workers union revealed Tuesday, in a stunning cave to far-right anti-LGBTQ fury.
There has been a wave of ultra-conservative pushback against companies that express support for equal rights. It started when Bud Light did a campaign with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney in March, but things really kicked off when Target displayed its Pride swimwear collection. Target said it would pull back its Pride merchandise in response to the outcry. Starbucks is the latest to fall.
“For the last two weeks, Starbucks workers have taken to social media to report that the company is no longer allowing Pride decorations in-store,” the Starbucks workers’ union tweeted.
Starbucks has always adopted a pro-LGBTQ stance, at least in public. This year, they even partnered with artist Tim Singleton to design a series of special Pride-themed tumblers. But according to the union, the company has decided that all Pride decorations must come down—even in unionized stores, where Starbucks normally argues it can’t make sweeping changes without first discussing it with workers.

You don't get more liberal than Seattle-based Starbucks union.
How about just selling coffee, etc. Can you just do that??
Cry about it faggots.
Or they could just get a coffee and go about their day, like normal people.
starbucksters are a bunch of homo/transphobes
The disgusting part was putting that crap up in the first place
The Bud Light effect?
And that so called queer flag is not a flag at all...it's a symbol of perversion.
Uh, who they calling bullies?
Wordsmithing ruining the English language.
Blackrock will not be pleased.
They’ve caved to the cry-bullies for decades.
The Rainbow Shirts are on the march.
It’s not “equal rights”;
it’s SPECIAL RIGHTS.
Tori must be off her meds. These large retail retail sales companies are owned by stockholders. When their stock starts to drop like a rock they respond by changing their stock lines not because of pressure. Starbucks has the foresight to react to financial moves of their stock, Target and AH were being run by fools who are solely responsible for losing billions.
It doesn’t change my boycott of Starbucks. It has nothing to do with the alphabet mafia. I don’t pay dollars for a quarter’s worth of coffee.
fury = not going to your store
ultra conservative (or MAGA) = average human beings
“The Bud Light effect?”
Yup. People just want to shop and do normal things like getting coffee without having agendas of some group shoved in their faces.
But to leftists, their whole lives are the agenda items.
The pervert-supremacist bullies are going to get a taste of their own medicine.
