The unconfirmed allegation is raising concerns that the coffee chain is the latest corporation to cave to far-right attacks on LGBTQ people.

“Normal” people aren’t bigots who go around saying that companies who dare to acknowledge the basic fact gay or trans people exist in the world, as ‘Sexual immortality getting shoved down our throats’.

It’s hateful religious crap like you are spreading right now that gets shoved down our throats more than anything else, that’s the real bullshit right there.

You misunderstand. What I said is not hateful, at all. Of course homosexuals exist, just like thieves, murderers, and practitioners of every other sin exist. Everyone acknowledges that. The issue is whether we repent for our sins and do God's will, or take pride in our sins and reject God. Pride itself is a sin (and some say it's the root of all other sins). That makes pride in sin a compound sin. The so-called "pride decorations" in this article are all about pride in sin (specifically the sexual immorality type). While the far-left activists think that's wonderful, and want to call everyone "hateful" and a "bigot" if we disagree, the truth is I expressed neither hatred nor bigotry. I hope we call all come to Christ, and the first step for many is to eliminate all these repugnant "pride decorations".

Who's more insecure: you, or your antiquated god with all your weird-ass rules you worship?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Can you relax? Having your beliefs is one thing, but equating gay people to thieves and murderers is another. Most people from the time they are born have had their sexual attractions set in stone. Most men are attracted to women and vice versa. It is literally the same way for gay people.

Stop sexualizing children! There is no "gay gene". (Follow the science, or don't you like that idea anymore) Sex is strictly reserved for a grown man and woman who are joined in holy matrimony. Children are not sexual, even slightly, until puberty.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Some people start feeling attraction at a very young age. It may not be sexual but the attraction is there. I'm a straight man and I've literally found girls to be beautiful for as long as I can remember.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

You were being influenced by social norms long before you were old enough to form memories, and likewise not being aware of societal expectations does not mean it is not happening or does not have an effect.

I had my first real crush on a celebrity with sexual feelings associated when I was 8 or 9 years old. I've heard similar stories from others first hand. It's normal.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nobody mentioned children and sexuality in the same sentence until you did.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Quoting @AnakinSandlover from above:

Most people from the time they are born have had their sexual attractions set in stone.

Most people are born with teeth. That doesn’t mean that babies have teeth, nor that kids have adult teeth.

Ignoring the religious elements, this is factually incorrect. Nobody likes to talk about it, but it's common for pre-pubescent girls to masturbate. George Carlin even had a bit about it!

Now, that's generally not talked about for good reasons--we don't want to rile up the pedophiles, and we don't want to rile up the people who are so aggressively religious that they can't acknowledge biology. But the fact of the matter is that people don't become sexual the instant they reach their country's age of consent or the instant they get married.

There's nothing wrong with you disliking those facts, but they are what they are.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You conflate puberty with the age of consent.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I do not. I didn't mention puberty and neither did you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

You're part of the reason your religion is dying, and I'm so glad to see it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

God isn’t real, you simpleton.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Our Creator is most certainly verifiably real. What's truly amazing is that you can deny Him, and you can insult me for loving Him, and you can go on behaving like that for years and years, yet He will still love you and He will still be eager to forgive you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There definitely is a god, and she just spoke to me that you’re an asshole and you’re going to Tartarus when you die.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

God is not real, and even if he was he would be a real asshole that I would have no interest in listening to. Your idea of morality is nonsense and irrelevant, not to mention disgusting. You are a hypocrite, too, rejecting everything that your supposed savior preached.

If Jesus was real, I sure hope he wouldn't love you.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No hate so pure as Christian love.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Spoken like an immature child parroting demons. Repent, and ask that you may be shielded from them. The time will come when it's too late.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Hahaha this motherfucker believes in “demons”. What an idiot!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

jesus was actually gay and there's proof throughout the new testament.

oh damn i forgot, i also received a divine revelation about it. god was pretty chill about the whole thing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Jesus also had long hair, a very feminine trait according to the right!

Also for those of you downvoting the comment above me, I am almost certain that it was a joke. Mine however wasn't, just adds to the funni

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

2 of the downvotes are almost for sure the 2 nazis in the thread. the third is probably just bc it wasn't funny lmao

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know if you think I'm a "nazi" — I am most certainly not — but in any case you can see who upvotes and downvotes any comment by going to more > activity.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago
