Original Note:
No source exists to validate this quote was said by a Starbucks rep. It was also not "just" said since the origin of the rumor dates back to 2013. The false quote appeared online after CEO Shultz expressed support for same-sex marriage in a 2013 shareholder meeting. https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-starbucks-gay-marriage/fact-check-starbucks-ceo-did-not-say-that-traditional-marriage-supporters-should-not-buy-starbucks-coffee-idUSKBN2AI28T
