Starbucks Activism.

I've noticed some crazy quotes on Starbucks cups lately. But none as whacked as this one that a friend of mine got on his cup this past weekend. If you can't read the picture here is the quote in full...

The Way I See It #43

"My only regret about being gay is that I repressed it for so long. I surrendered my youth to the people I feared when I could have been out there loving someone. Don't make that mistake yourself. Life's too [expletive] short."

Yuck. I almost couldn't finish my cranberry oatmeal mountain bar after reading that. I think I'm gonna send Starbucks my own quote to put on their cups.

UPDATE: I just came across a news article about some controversy surrounding this cup quote. Click here
