I was in the SoDo District of Seattle (South of Downtown) yesterday and looked out the window to see this:

So the next time you're putting a cup of overpriced Starbucks coffee up to your lips, think about all the disease, misery and death that the corporation you're supporting is causing.

Starbucks causes disease, misery and death the same way other megacorps do - tax evasion, monopolistic tactics, illegally firing union organizers and lobbying against minimum wage and sick leave laws.
At least they're not quite as bad as some - they're reasonably pro-environment and generally don't source products from third world slave laborers - but they're still a megacorp, and behind every great fortune is a great crime.
That said, them supporting gay people in no way spreads disease, misery, or death; whatever criticisms one can make of Starbucks, this is not a fair one.
"next time you put something to your lips, think about the gheys." yeah, that's hawt.
"think about all the disease, misery and death that the corporation you're supporting is causing"
Amongst the farmers who harvest their coffee beans, you mean?
Even if there were the barest glimmer of truth in your nonsense it still wouldn't even begin to compare to all the disease, misery and death spread by your religion for some 2000 years. If anyone should be called to task for knowingly spreading STDs it's religitards like you who fight to forbid -- not just for your own but for everyone -- proper sexual education and safety simply because a bunch of bored goat-fuckers decided to try their hand at creative writing 6,000 years ago.
For every box of Girl Scout cookies a fundies won't buy because of abortion and gay rights, I'm going to buy three.
For every box of Cheerios white nationalists won't buy because of that commercial, I'm going to buy three.
For every can of Coke fundies won't buy because of that Superbowl commercial, I'm going to buy three.
For every cup of Starbucks fundies won't buy because of gay rights, I'm going to buy three.
Replace "cup of overpriced Starbucks coffee" with "piece of overpriced Chick-Fil-A chicken" in the last paragraph and it's so much truer!

I'm no fan of coffee, but their hot chocolate is GODLY. :3
The misery and death caused by anti-gay hate crimes, lack of sex education for people who aren't straight, bullying related suicides and self loathing among LGBT teenagers raised in religious households? Is that what you're talking about? Oh, right, that's on you.
Oh, I want a cup of their chai tea latte, right now. Sadly, the closest Starbucks from me is about 230 kilometers away... In about a year, there will be one only 30 kilometers away.
The only disease, misery and death that Starbucks causes are to the plantation workers, and perhaps also to the production workers. Acceptance of homosexuality REDUCES the rates of disease, misery and death among gay people. Homophobes are the ones causing disease, misery and death among them, asshole!
Well, I got a case of Girl Scout thin mints, and I make my morning coffee myself, so I figure I can have a starbucks and a thin mint for lunch.
Should make aCultureWarrior's head explode.
... the disease, misery and death that the corporation ... is causing.
The coffee's not great, but it's not that bad.
"think about all the disease, misery and death that the corporation you're supporting is causing."
You would have to tell me what disease misery and death they're causing before I could think about it.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
