From towleroad.com, Gay news:
On Tuesday, Andy reported NOM’s displeasure at Starbucks’ endorsement of marriage equality. More wingnuts have since voiced similar sentiments, and now they’re calling for a boycott.
RightWingWatch recorded this cornball radio address from Family Research Council president Tony Perkins:
There’s more than coffee brewing at Starbucks. There’s controversy too. Hello, I’m Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C. Starbucks is stirring the pot all right, but with a liberal agenda that’s got customers shaking their heads. In the fight over marriage in Washington State, the Seattle company is picking sides. Last week, the chain announced it’ll join the attack on marriage and endorse homosexual unions. Spokesman Karen Holmes said, “This important legislation is aligned with Starbucks business practices… It is core to who we are and what we value as a company.”
