Anti-gay activist admits NOM's Starbucks boycott has been a failure
Peter LaBarbera is quite pissed at the coffee giant for running a national ad campaign that honors the reality of two-mom families. But frankly, I don't care about that. Peter gets ticked off as the first syllable in the word "Gatorade." I don't expect anything less than his overheated revulsion whenever he sees a sweet and inclusive ad.
What I do find funny and notable, however, is his admission that the National Organization For Marriage's attempt to boycott Starbucks has been a total failure:
Starbucks already has sold its corporate soul (is that an oxymoron?) to the homosexual agenda. Its executives made that clear in 2012 when they defiantly rebuffed a boycott threat by the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) and affirmed that support for homosexual “marriage” is a “core” Starbucks value.
The NOM “Dump Starbucks” boycott that followed seems anemic two years later (only 68,200 pledges)–but Starbucks [877-421-9062] remains a plump target for a more effectual and better organized boycott. Let’s face it: finding substitutes for overpriced yuppie coffee is pretty easy. We’ll see what happens, but one thing is certain: Starbucks execs are not backing down in their support of sexual sin and they surely aren’t acting like they fear the consumer power of mobilized religious conservatives.

"Anemic" is putting it mildly. Starbucks continues to soar while NOM continues to flail. The "Dump Starbucks" campaign has been a laughable disaster. In fact, it was one of the first really bad ideas that set NOM up for a countless stream of really bad (for them) failures.
It's cute that Peter thinks he can do any better. While NOM is indeed a terrible organization, NOM's boycott failed because the American public is not with them on this. The American public made Modern Family a hit TV show and is increasingly standing in support of marriage equality. The American public is mature enough to accept a reality like same-sex parenting. It's time for the anti-gay-for-pay crowd to at least accept that, if not accept us.
