Originally I understood they'd strike because of the stores adding Pride decorations, but nope, the store admins are banning Pride decorations
like Target, corporate simple doesn't want to deal with the possible lost business of nutbags boycotting starbucks over a few pride flags in the store.
or maybe the drama of said nutbags coming into store and assaulting employees over it.
Seems like a bad move considering bud light probably lost more business acquiescing to the angry homophobic mob than they did from the original boycott.
I'd even venture to say that capitulating to terrorists makes them more bold.
