Starbucks Is Banning Pride Decorations, Workers Union Alleges
Starbucks Is Banning Pride Decorations, Workers Union Alleges
The coffee chain maintains it is not caving to far-right attacks on LGBTQ people, despite union reports.
The unconfirmed allegation is raising concerns that the coffee chain is the latest corporation to cave to far-right attacks on LGBTQ people.
You're viewing a single thread.
More proof that corporations are nobody's "friends." When they latch onto a community it's purely for profit and marketing motives.
this is fundamentally true
but rainbow capitalism still works for profit. the reason they're backing away is terrorist threats from the far right, and harassment of staff and management. they're literally scared that the death threats they get over this stuff is going to result in a mass shooting. and thanks to accelerationists in US nazi politics, it realistically eventually will
that's no excuse to cave to these people. but that's the reason it's happening.
Oh please companies don't give a flying fuck if their employees suffer, the only logical explanation for companies stopping being on board with the LGBTQ crowd is that the profits aren't big enough to be worth the trouble of supporting them.
do the research yourself you lazy lying scum, target directly explained why they pulled merch and there's no reason to believe we'll find anything different if starbucks talks to the media about it.

re: starbucks, nothing is clear bc starbucks corporate isn't even admitting that they're pulling decorations yet, but internal communications and rumours specifically mention the threats against target
to summarize, you're perfectly and completely wrong about everything, and fuck you, you homophobic rube.
