Starbucks CEO: 'If You Support Traditional Marriage We Don't Want Your Business'

SEATTLE - During the Starbucks annual shareholders meeting, CEO Howard Schultz had a clear message to send to investors who don't support gay marriage: he doesn't want your business.

It's one thing to stick to one's beliefs, but it's another thing to allow those beliefs to cross the line and become zealotry. It appears Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz crossed that line during the meeting, mixing his belief system with business.

Schultz went on to claim that Starbucks strives to 'embrace diversity of all kinds.' He went on to tell a shareholder who stands behind tradition marriage to sell his shares and invest elsewhere.

Forbes reported that Schultz seemed hostile and intolerant of any shareholders who objected to gay marriage for moral or religious reasons.

During the meeting, shareholder Tom Strobhar (who founded the Corporate Morality Action Center) pointed out that after the company voiced its support for a referendum backing gay marriage in Washington state, a boycott by traditional marriage supporters caused a drop in sales revenue.

What do you think? Is this a bad move on Starbucks? part?

Honestly I don’t understand this kind of message. I think businesses shouldn’t be about who supports what. It is just business and it doesn’t matter if someone supports the traditional marriage and someone doesn’t. I had an awful relationship that made me feel useless and unwanted by anyone. I passed through this when I read some advice from https://breakupangels.com/page/3/. The really know how to support you in such bad moments.

You do not understand leftists, to leftists or Democrats (they're now the same thing) everything is political and everything and anything they can use to divide or tear down our culture, constitution, traditional beliefs and practices they will use it, lie about it, promote division and strife. What amazes me is how utterly stupid so many Americans are and that they vote these traitors in again and again. California is one of the worse. I cannot fathom how stupid someone would have to be to vote for Nancy Pelosi. Unbelievable, yet the morons do it over and over again, even as their city and the state destroys its self, they keep putting those useless POS back in power.
