We missed this article by the Catholic News Agency/EWTN News on our DumpStarbucks.com campaign but wanted to give them a shout-out still!
Supporters of authentic marriage between a man and woman are being urged to “Dump Starbucks,” over the corporation's push to give the institution a radically different meaning.
“People of faith need to take a stand and say: 'Enough is enough. We're not going to have our money used against our values,' ” National Organization for Marriage President Brian Brown told EWTN News on March 23.
His organization is spearheading the growing “Dump Starbucks” boycott campaign, a response to Starbucks' declaration of support for same-sex “marriage” legislation in Washington state.
... Brown also accused Starbucks of “lying to its shareholders and customers” in different parts of the world.
“On the Middle Eastern website, Starbucks Corporation says it takes no political stance. This is a political stance.”
“And the reason it does that, is because it knows that in the Middle East, in Southeast Asia, and all these areas, same-sex 'marriage' is overwhelmingly opposed. Therefore, it's telling its customers and shareholders one thing, and doing something entirely different.”
The National Organization for Marriage has never before called for a corporate boycott. It is doing so now, Brown said, because of Starbucks' decision to antagonize many of its employees and customers.

I think not.

"Authentic marriage" - I like that term.
Speaking of which (sorry to change the subject), but has anyone heard the term, "sodomy-based marriage?" I thought that was interesting because it calls attention to the fact that authentic (!) marriage contemplates sex between male and female which leads to procreation, and the fact that same-sex couples are incapable of being married because their form of "sex" never results in procreation.
Silly Resist. Sodomy is practiced by straight people everyday. And what about lesbians? You've got sodomy on the brain.
"Authentic marriage". I like it.
I'll put it in the tool box.

Do lesbians of the same sex when married reside in a Sodemy Marriage? You are oscessed with male on male sex Resist? You should rename yourself OscessedWSSA.
GZeus and RichC -
The definition of sodomy is not restricted to male-male acts, and is often defined to include any act involving the sex organs that is not penile-vaginal. Yes, the definition depends on the reference source.
Marriage contemplates male-female intercourse and potential procreation. That male-female couples also participate in sodomy is irrelevant to marriage. Likewise, since the only sexual activity that same-sex couples can participate in is sodomy, and since marriage is an institution that contemplates sex, "sodomy-based marriage" is a great name.
Sodomarriage.
Pseudomarriage.
Decisions, decisions..............
For the sake of clarity:
The muscles of the rectum are designed to push things out. When you push things in to a spinkter you are slowly killing yourself with each application.
Sodomy on occasion is considered as experimentation; sodomy as a construct is a perversion.
Pervert: a unusual or abnormal sexual act that is habitual.
Randy E King For the sake of clarity, Marriage licenses are issued by the state, NOT the church. NO religion is necessary for a marriage to be legal, valid or recognized.
