Do you still want to drink that Starbucks coffee?

busting agendas comments are this color!

Composite of two articles:

1) Baylor Univ. Applauded for Yanking Starbucks Coffee Cups By Jim Brown Agape Press

2) Starbucks promotes homosexual agenda with coffee cup by Erin Curry Baptist Press News


Baylor University pulled coffee cups from their Starbucks cafe because the cups contained a quote from homosexual author Armistead Maupin.

Here is his quote:

“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~~it begins with an f...] short.” 1


Say what you will, this quote definitely has the agenda of pushing the homosexual lifestyle at our college age children.

If that is NOT bad enough, Starbucks is doing this at a Baptist University! What audacity.

I say, way to go Baylor!

This is a Christian institution and does not need to support ideals or lifestyles that are contrary to God's Holy Word. They are standing on their convictions. To demand a Christian institution to compromise on their beliefs or their mission statement is to destroy that institution.

Don't like it? Then go to another university that is not Christian in its foundation. Believe me, you'll find plenty!

"Bob Knight with the Culture and Family Institute in Washington, DC, says his group has challenged the Starbucks Coffee Company by asking why it has a pro-homosexual quote, but not one from a former homosexual." 2

Because Starbucks; or pick your entity~~business, media, television; doesn't care to show both sides! Because showing both sides ~~gay and ex-gay~~would showcase the inherent dangers of the homosexual lifestyle: physically, mentally, as well as emotionally. This is why the homosexual movement is desperate to discredit all ex-gays!

Concerned Women for America Concerned Women for America employee Meghan Kleppinger wrote a column about Starbucks’ involvement in the homosexual movement which was posted by WorldNetDaily Aug. 10. 2

She read 'where there would be children’s gardens and basically in the midst of all of this sexual activity there would be events for children...'

'And then I read that two registered pedophiles were volunteers at this event. When I scrolled to the bottom I saw who the sponsors were, and the one that jumped out was Starbucks because that is a favorite company of mine. So it just frustrated me that a company was giving money to something like this where children would be exposed to this sort of thing.' 2

Seems to me, if the homosexual movement were truly concerned about children, they would not expose them to sexual acts (See previous blog) or to pedophiles. By doing so, they simply show the only value children have are as future gay or lesbian lovers. This is child abuse.

Knight states. "And when it was brought to Starbucks' attention that they shouldn't promote this kind of thing, they just said 'tough, we're going to do it anyway.'" 1

When companies don't care how their sponsorship of an organization affects children, then that is a company I do NOT want to support with my hard-earned money.

“There are active homosexual groups in most major corporations now and they do a shake down, where they say, ‘If you don’t promote our events, you’re exhibiting bigotry and hatred, and we’re going to let everybody know that and you’ll feel bad about yourself and maybe it will hurt your sales.’ I don’t think it has ever hurt a company’s sales. I think they just cave in all too easily...” 2

Actually, the opposite is happening. When Christian's write these companies threatening boycotts, many of these companies have changed their policy. American Family Association (AFA) American Family Association, makes it very easy to get involved doing exactly this!

Knight points out that the "American Family Association has been doing this for years with great results. Often we don’t see the results because a company will notice that it has gotten out to thousands of people and they pull back whatever thing they were doing that caused the concern in the first place...'

'And then they ask the American Family Association, ‘Don’t make a big deal out of it because then we’ll have the gay pride activists on us.’ So they just back away. Many victories have been won like that and the public isn’t aware of it.' '

... Most companies do not want bad publicity.'" 2

“That strategy goes for almost anything,” Knight added. “Anytime you find out that a company has been sponsoring something that you disagree with, it’s best to tell at the dealer or shop or store level people why you’re not buying their product anymore. Believe me, this gets back to corporate headquarters real fast.”

The coffee chain welcomes comments on the program or a specific quote via an online feedback form, available at Starbucks, or through brochures in stores. 2 Choose their 'our stores' link and then choose "The way I see it".

While you may adore that cup of coffee, is it really worth it in the long run? For the sake of our children, shouldn't you take a stand? Let Stabucks know you are doing exactly that!
