To: CEO Howard Schultz
We applaud Starbucks' support for marriage equality
We strongly support Starbucks for standing up for marriage equality and urge other prominent public and private organizations to follow their admirable lead.
Why is this important?
In a shareholder meeting on March 20th Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz strongly reaffirmed their support for marriage equality when interrogated by the anti-gay organization NOM. Rebuffing threats of boycott Schultz announced that since announcing support for equality Starbucks has not lost consumer support. His honesty and show of humanity is rare in corporations today and should be applauded.
