Voy regularmente a Starbucks sólo por una poderosa razón: el té chai, sea caliente o frío. Es fabuloso. Ahora tengo otra para ir: ahora los cristianos fundamentalistas boicoten la cadena por no apoyar la discriminación contra gays y lesbianas. Reporta Hitched to Everthing:
"Apparently, last year, Baylor University banned a Starbucks cup from its campus, saying the quotation it featured promoted gayness. Not to be outdone, and due to the same quote, Bob Jones University recently banned Starbucks from the campus all together.
The offending quote? Armistead Maupin:
Suspect of what? Compassion? Tolerance? Acceptance?..."
Ahorita vengo, voy a Starbucks...
"Apparently, last year, Baylor University banned a Starbucks cup from its campus, saying the quotation it featured promoted gayness. Not to be outdone, and due to the same quote, Bob Jones University recently banned Starbucks from the campus all together.
The offending quote? Armistead Maupin:
"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 damn short."A BJU student blogging about the quote details how the University's President Dr. Stephen Jones contacted Starbucks to complain about it and didn't get much of a response. So Jones announced the ban in chapel on January 31st. The student concludes, "Does Starbucks have an agenda? I don't know, but this makes them suspect."
Suspect of what? Compassion? Tolerance? Acceptance?..."
Ahorita vengo, voy a Starbucks...
