The unconfirmed allegation is raising concerns that the coffee chain is the latest corporation to cave to far-right attacks on LGBTQ people.

Honestly, even as a bi trans person, I’m horribly concerned and quite mad at how exponentially shamelessly sexualized LGBT (especially Q) merch has gotten over the years. It just feels tacky and like it wants to paint all LGBT people as hypersexual fetishist nymphomaniacs.

Do you think Starbucks is selling dildos? We're talking about rainbow coffee cups. I'd like to see a coffee cup that paints an entire group of people as "hypersexual fetishist nymphomaniacs"

@HaleyHalcyon absolutely, your post reminds me of this too: https://youtu.be/fiOMbqPHFwo?t=29s

@Girlparts

Oh, so we’re gatekeeping which bi trans people get to be LGBT people just because they don’t agree with everything the mainstream does? I thought we agreed that it wasn’t an okay thing to do.

"Why can't people let me tell others I don't want them to express themselves"

Also since when are Starbucks LGBT decorations even remotely sexual?
