People Rally to Starbucks' Defense After NOM Boycott
By Neal Broverman
DUMP STARBUCKS NOM X390 | ADVOCATE.COM
After the National Organization for Marriage announced this week that it had
launched a boycott of gay-friendly Starbucks, the Internet exploded with
support for the Seattle-based coffee chain.
The notoriously antigay NOM announced Wednesday that the group was
boycotting Starbucks for the company’s support of marriage equality in
Washington State. This came after NOM members quizzed Starbucks board
members on the company’s marriage stance at a recent shareholder meeting (
watch video below). Almost immediately, the topic of Starbucks began
trending on social media, with Twitter hashtags supporting Starbucks
proliferating — #LatteLove, #StarbucksBrewsLove, #Equaliventi, #
LGrandeBTall, and #StarbucksEquality have all circulated.
The consumer advocacy group SumOfUs is asking people to sign a thank-you
card to Starbucks for its support of LGBT equality. Over 26,000 people have
signed their online card at the group’s website.
“The National Organization of Marriage is targeting Starbucks because the
company recently stood up publicly to support gay marriage legislation in
their home state of Washington,” reads a release from SumOfUs. “The bill’
s sponsor, Democratic senator Ed Murray, explained how support from major
brand-name businesses helped convince moderate legislators to vote for it.
Without support from prominent companies like Starbucks, the gay marriage
law might have failed. Starbucks customers are speaking loud and clear:
Being for equality is good for business ... NOM is soon going to have to
face the truth that it’s losing the culture war it’s been waging against
LGBT people.”
On NOM’s anti-Starbucks website, the group suggests alternative coffee
shops for homophobes to patronize. However, many of its suggestions,
including the popular West Coast chain Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, have either
voiced support for gay rights or are actually owned by LGBT individuals. | g********d

发帖数: 2153 | 5 在感谢星巴克请愿书上的签名比抵制星巴克请愿书上的签名多了10倍
当星巴克宣布其支持华盛顿特区近期通过的同性婚姻法时，这家咖啡巨头就必定已
知此举会惹人欢喜惹人怒。而根据不同请愿书的结果来看，比起被惹恼的人数，星巴克
的表态令更多的人开怀。
恼怒一方中就包括反婚姻平等权的国家婚姻组织，人们戏称其为NOM。根据On Top
杂志的报道，我们可知NOM曾于上周三派代表参与星巴克的股东大会，质问公司的这项
决定。而大会主席、首席执行官Howard Schultz重申了这一决定。
“我相信此类决定是经过深思熟虑后才提出的，” Schultz说，“我可以向你们保
证，星巴克的高层人员讨论过这个话题……坦率地说，这对我们而言并不是一个困难的
决定。”
作为回应，NOM发起了一项抵制请愿活动，获得了1，7930个签名。该组织似乎早已
对Schultz的回答做好准备，因为他们已经申请了“倒星巴克”这一域名，也制作好了
相关网站。
为回应NOM的请愿行为，Sumofus.org 也组织了一个感谢团队，目前已收集到18，
0000个签名，表达对这咖啡巨头支持同性婚姻的感谢。（The Daily Meal)
