Wake up and smell the homophobia

A bitter rift perks up again between a South Carolina school and Starbucks. Is this grounds for hiring a new supplier?

The Greenville News, Greenville, South Carolina reports today that Starbucks' pro-gay stance gets their contract cancelled by publicity-seeking, right wing Bob Jones University. Read about it here. Replacing Starbucks will be the more politically correct Barney's Coffee. The management at Barney's must have promised they would never leave quotes from Armistead Maupin lying around the shop.

From The Greenville News: "BJU spokesman Jonathan Pait said the school's constituency began to object to Starbucks' stance on gays several months ago. 'More objections came lately,' he said. 'They were supportive of homosexual events and causes.'"
