*** begin quote ***
The fate of Betsy Fresse, an evangelical Christian who refused to don a gay pride shirt in accordance with instructions from her manager in a Starbucks store in New Jersey is explained with remarkable concision in a recent Reuters article:

Let’s imagine that the dissenter was a homosexual activist being forced to wear a shirt stating marriage is between a man and a woman.

Seems that we can see the “truth” when we put the shoe on the other foot.
Mostly, the question begging for an answer is: “Why do all these corporations suddenly get involved in politics?”
I don’t understand it.
Focus on selling your over-priced coffee, please.
