Christian? Don’t Boycott Starbucks, Thank Them!

Last week, Starbucks joined more than 100 businesses in welcoming LGBT marriages in the state of Washington. Almost instantly after this announcement, a group of individuals led by USA Christian Ministries organized a boycott under the false premise that all “Christians are upset with Starbucks for turning against God.”

Believe Out Loud recognizes that God’s love knows no limits and we call on Christians to support Starbucks and their decision to stand up for LGBT marriages. “We are grateful for Starbucks and their CEO, Howard Schultz, for their continued and public support of the LGBT community,” said Joseph Ward, Director of Believe Out Loud. “We invite fellow Christians and allies to show their appreciation by signing a virtual thank-you card on our website, which we will deliver to Starbucks Headquarters next month.”

Take action and sign Believe Out Loud’s thank-you letter today!
