Gay marriage activists are planning to swarm Starbucks on Tuesday in an attempt to counter the record sales from last week’s Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.
The chicken chain enjoyed a surge of support during the Wednesday event, dreamed up by former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee after Chick-fil-A President Dan Cathy went on the record backing the “biblical definition of the family unit.”
A follow-up protest from Chick-fil-A critics on Friday, which was dubbed Same Sex Kiss Day, was more subdued.
Advocates for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights are trying again Tuesday with National Marriage Equality Day, initiated by Equally Wed, a lesbian and gay wedding magazine. So far, nearly 28,000 people have signed up to attend.
The event was originally called National Starbucks Appreciation Day in honor of the coffee giant, which recently threw its support behind efforts to make gay marriage legal.
But several other holidays exist with the same name, including one created by gun rights groups. Starbucks’ corporate offices had nothing to do with those events nor with Tuesday’s planned gatherings.
According to Equally Wed, executives at the coffee chain had privately pushed organizers to include other companies that support same-sex unions -- such as Amazon.com and Nike.
“In an effort to heighten awareness for all companies and nonprofits contributing to the fight for marriage equality, we’ve decided to rename August 7 as National Marriage Equality Day,” according a description of the event on Facebook.
The page also lists dozens of other brands in the same camp, including Absolut Vodka, Google, Macy’s and Tiffany & Co.

this sort of thing may fly in a canine municipality but here in the cryzone well never mind go ahead
Before I was too soon! But now, the Joker has returned! Behold, Zarathustra's child, Rebecca, Pond, Reborn! Behold the might of my words!
Each man stands on the tightrope between the Beast and the Overman. If only it were that simple! Every man stands pulled between 6 dimensions! You cannot see them now, but the light of my Resentment will reveal it!
A line, a line, and a line! Man exists as three orthogonal lines! 3 Dimensions his Being in Space! But is this all he is? is he not Deasin? A Being in Time? Another set of orthogonal lines, one on one on one. 4, 5, and 6 to match the three dimensions below.
Daesin! I call you forth! reveal yourselves! What is your true form? Ahah! A creature of the 5th dimension, but cruelly hampered. look upon your pitiful form.
look back! do you not see yourself as a tunnel of past selves. an undulating snake of crystalized reality going behind like a line in the 4th dimension? look forth! do you not see the lattice of obstacles and possibilities streching out before you like a map in the 5th? Can you not feel your own Self as a constant Becoming? Do you see now the cruel joke of life as Daesin, to experience a Being-inTime, but only in time that is a River! always forwards, as inexorable as the clock! a 4th dimensional self continuing by inertia to consume the 5th dimension.
look up! do you not see our salvation from this? the 3rd orthogonal, God, a 6th dimensional flagpole, who lifts us above our map and lets us navigate this world with unearthy Skill and Grace. See the Joy of those who move with their God, the WIll to Harmony, and the Sorrow of those who cling to their illusions of Power.
I'm smarter and more awesoeme than everyone.
