Starbucks has banned Pride decorations in ALL of its U.S. stores halfway through Pride Month, the company’s workers union revealed Tuesday.
“For the last two weeks, Starbucks workers have taken to social media to report that the company is no longer allowing Pride decorations in-store,” Starbucks Workers United tweeted.

The workers’ union noted Starbucks, which has normally been an active supporter of the LGBTQ movement, has been paying attention the nationwide boycotts against corporate Pride virtue-signaling that began with Bud Light and accelerated with Target, which both lost billions of dollars in market capitalization over the last several weeks.
“For the last two weeks, Starbucks workers have taken to social media to report that the company is no longer allowing Pride decorations in-store. This seems to be the first year the publicly ‘pro-LGBTQ+’ company has taken this kind of stance,” the union wrote.
Taking a cue from Target, who bowed to anti-LGBTQ+ pressure and removed pride merchandise, corporate and district management are taking down the pride decorations that have become an annual tradition in stores.

Leftist publication New Republic suggested Starbucks’ move was prompted by bomb threats brought about by “right-wing rage.”
What this publication – and other mainstream media outlets – are omitting was these bomb threats were made by far-left “trans” advocates who were angry Target began removing its “trans clothing” marketed for children.
“It would be understandable for Starbucks to suddenly grow wary of overt Pride displays, considering how bad the right-wing rage has become. Target stores in five different states received bomb threats over the weekend and had to be evacuated,” New Republic claimed.
“But there had been no such fury directed at Starbucks. So instead, the company has prematurely caved to anticipated anger. In doing so, they have given so much more power to the far-right.”
Other corporations have also dialed down their woke virtue-signaling amid the boycotts, with some removing rainbow logos from their social media accounts.
Kellogg’s has become the latest company to face backlash for partnering with trans activist Dylan Mulvaney, who was responsible for Bud Light’s spectacular collapse in April.
Will there be a few more corporations who turn away from BlackRock’s “get woke go broke” DEI business model?
