Anyone who supports SSM probably already goes to Starbucks every day of the week, so I doubt they will get much traction with this reverse boycott.
It's interesting to me how thoroughly consumerized we are as a society when we support pet causes by organizing buy-ins at businesses that SAY they support the cause. Are we tacitly saying we prefer retail stores to express our political wills rather than the state houses and Capitol Hill? No need to bother with elected representatives when we have the voice of some big business publicly aligning itself with our stances.
Dunno whether to laugh or cry.
