Please sign the petition to boycott Starbucks here: http://www.dumpstarbucks.com/.
Please boycott Starbucks for their longstanding support of the LGBT agenda and gay marriage equality. No Christian or Christian church should be purchasing their products until they change their corporate policy. There are other sources for coffee drinks. Please use them. Meanwhile, eliminate Starbucks from your personal drinking and tell your emerging church leaders to get Starbucks out of their cafe in the church building.

Re: A Message from Kalen Holmes: Starbucks Supports Marriage Equality
Dear partners,
Starbucks is proud to join other leading Northwest employers in support of Washington
State legislation recognizing marriage equality for same-sex couples. Starbucks strives to
create a company culture that puts our partners first, and our company has a lengthy
history of leading and supporting policies that promote equality and inclusion.
This important legislation is aligned with Starbucks business practices and upholds our
belief in the equal treatment of partners. It is core to who we are and what we value as a
company. We are proud of our Pride Alliance Partner Network group, which is one of the
largest Employer Resource Groups for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT)
employees in the U.S., helping to raise awareness about issues in the communities where
we live and work.
For the last 20 years, our benefits program has offered domestic partner benefits in the
U.S. These benefits include medical, dental, vision, prescription drugs and alternative
health care coverage. All partners (part-time and full-time) in all work locations, whether
in a store, a roasting plant or a corporate office, adhere to the same eligibility
requirements for health coverage and have access to the same comprehensive health
plans.
We are deeply dedicated to embracing diversity and treating one another with respect and
dignity, and remain committed to providing an inclusive, supportive and safe work
environment for all of our partners.
We look forward to seeing this legislation enacted into law.
Regards,
Kalen Holmes
executive vice president, Partner Resources"
