Original Note:
This is false and the quotes were never said by any representative from Starbucks. It is a repeated online rumor with no source and originated in 2013. The false quote first appeared 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
