Starbucks HQ Raises Largest Pride Flag for Seattle Pride Week
If anyone doubted Starbucks’ stance on the LGBT community, they won’t anymore.
The company raised a massive 800-square-foot flag over their headquarters today as Seattle celebrated its 40th Pride, and CEO Howard Schultz, who was in attendance (pictured below), couldn’t have looked more pleased.
“We are thrilled that Starbucks is showing their support for the LGBT community in this very big, very public way,” Adam McRoberts, Communications Director for Seattle Pride, said in a press release. "The flag flying over their headquarters will welcome thousands of visitors coming to Seattle to celebrate Pride this week and is a testament to the support Starbucks has shown the LGBT community over the years."

I started drinking at Starbucks back in 2012 to give my support to them and have not looked back since.

That's beautiful William. Just look at that flag!
Bravo to Seattle and Starbucks for the 40th pride celebration! 
I'm drinking a bottled Starbucks Frappuccino right now.
