NASHVILLE — A controversial Starbucks cup that promotes the homosexual agenda has been pulled from a Baylor University coffee shop after someone commented that such a cup is inappropriate for a Baptist-affiliated university. The Associated Press reported Sept. 20 that Aramark, the dining contractor at the Waco, Texas-based Baylor in charge of the Starbucks coffee shop, removed the cups to avoid offending others. “My understanding is it was a decision made by Baylor dining services staff, and I’ve not yet been able to trace it back to any Baylor administrators telling them point-blank to pull the cup,” Baylor spokesman Larry Brumley said. “I think they were trying to be sensitive.”
The cup is part of a Starbucks program called The Way I See It, which is a collection of thoughts, opinions and expressions provided by notable figures that now appear on the chain’s coffee cups. Cup No. 43 blatantly pushes the homosexual agenda, some charge. It’s a quote from Armistead Maupin, who wrote “Tales of the City,” a bestseller-turned-PBS drama advocating the homosexual lifestyle, and it reads. “My only regret about being gay is that I repressed it for so long. I surrendered my youth to the people I feared when I could have been out there loving someone. Don’t make that mistake yourself. Life’s too [expletive] short.” (TAB)
