Oh So … Not Gay
It’s time for that annual ritual that brings joy to all who partake. The Starbucks Holiday cup.
This year, it’s obviously promoting lesbianism. Just take a look for yourself.
See the two hands? The Steeple People say that’s two women holding hands. I do not know how they arrived at that conclusion but they did and they are mighty proud of it.
They believe that people of lesser intellect, like you and me, would ever see this but be heavily influenced to go out on the town and decide to be a lesbian. I will admit that all the news about men behaving badly, I know for a fact that if lesbianism were a choice, I’d be one.
Thanks, Starbucks, for reminding me.
The Steeple People need to get out more.
1Plus, Tinky Winky, the purple Teletubby, is hiding behind the coffee cup. Horrors!
2I guess they figure since one hand isn’t grabbing for the other’s hoo-ha, then it must be two women because they wouldn’t be that gross.
3Spongebob SquarePants is lurking among the presents awaiting the opportunity to promote his hidden gay agenda, also too
4Is this a sweater thing? Does that mean when I go Mr. Rogers in my comfy cardigan that I turn into a Lesbian?
I am attracted to women though…
5To a hammer, everything’s a nail. To a RWNJ, everything’s a fail.
Idiots.
6Neither hand is holding a gun.
You just know that thousands of people grabbed these cups and stared at every last square inch of them looking for SOMETHING they could raise a stink about. Judas priest, get a life!
My husband and I used to watch a show about forensics– very interesting science of using trace clues to track down murderers and such, but there were so many true-crime cases of women killed by their husbands, exes, or other male partners that we started calling it “The Lesbian Hour” because it seemed like the best encouragement to switch (if that were possible). I had to quit watching it because it was too depressing to think of all those murdered women.
7The two women couldn’t possibly be mother and daughter, sisters, or friends. They have to be gay, if you’re an extremely sexually insecure rwnj.
8Shows you what is wrong with me, a real lesbian: I looked at the placement of the “heart” <3
9Aw geez! Why can’t all you gay, straight and undecided people do your Christmas shopping in July? I’m tired of crowded malls in December. Although I much prefer sharing space with all of you than even one gun toting klutz. Happy Holidays to all of you!
10Hey, what about the two hands on the bottom of the cup? Do they come from two different people, or a sloppy dresser? I hope s/he/they get a new sweater(s) with matching sleeves in one of their gifts (above, right) to correct the situation. Along with the traditional myrrh and frankincense which I believe all real Christians give each other every year at some point during the holiday season. It’s in the Bible, right?
11All this surmising another’s “gayness” from an anything but realistic drawing is ridiculous. Of course I fail interpreting Rorschach inkblot tests so what do I know?
12Need to drag out that old picture of Dumbya and that Saudi Arabian royal strolling along holding hands (per SA custom).
13What would the RWNJ’s do with that now?
Pretty sure the hand on the left belongs to Waldo.
14The mother and daughter who posed for the drawing are pretty pissed that they are being criticized. That possibility is real. People who worry about Starbuck’s cups are idiots.
15Based on the sweater pattern it looks like someone finally found Waldo. I am more concerned about the Starbucks lady’s heart, it’s all the way down there between her….coffee cups.
16Jaysus Xristy, mon, don’t these people have anything constructive to do with their lives???
17Why does everything have to be about sex of anykind as far as rwnj’s are concerned? Perhaps if their preachers didn’t villianize sex from the pulpet so much and teach that all sex is the way to hell, the rwnj’s might just see the cup as a holder of hot liquid.
18Halcyan, maybe someone snapped a picture of your hand and mine, then photoshopped them together onto this cup so it really is 2 lesbians. It was done without my permission.
Jeez those people have massive sexual issues. The worst, the absolute worst in the country. They’re so messed up, they’re pathetic.
19Can’t keep their minds out of other peoples’ underwear or their heads out of their own.
20If a sketch showing two women holding hands gets them so worked up, one can only guess how monstrous their reaction would be if a 32yo man were groping a 14yo girl. Oh wait….
21Last year the complaint was about the plain red cup that didn’t have any pictures or drawings. I hate to think about what the wackos will be complaining about next year. If they want to boycott Starbucks, I don’t care. Just a few fewer people in line ahead of me. But very few. It’s a good thing Starbucks doesn’t use Keurigs, though.
22My first thought was: Geez, that’s really white.
23Tata, which- the complaint or the cup?
24The cup, the hands, the people, the bird, the tree, the gifts are all white. You’d think the Godbotherers would be thrilled.
25Sandridge, I was in a hospital waiting room where one old doofus was telling another that he knew he hated Obama when he (he gets up and illustrates) bowed to a Saudi. Within seconds I had the photo of Bush holding hands and showed it to them. They mumbled something and left the room.
I really thing these nuts won’t be happy until Starbucks has a cup with a depiction of Mary in the act of giving birth.
26I’m just DONE with this whole annual fake Culture War lunacy.
Henceforth, my response will be:
1. Point
2. Laugh and shake my head
3. Get on with my life.
All it is is a bunch of Faux Newz troll bait.
27lazrgrl,
28It’s always amazing how the RWNJ’s just seem to have their walnut-sized lizard brains shut down and disconnect when you whack them with an actual real live fact or two.
Watching them blank out is like seeing the old supercomputers I worked on many decades ago. They looked like those Star Trek and military ones you see in old tv&movies (in the same era, same stuff), with lots of banks and rows of blinking lights showing status and register contents, etc. If everything is running smoothly there’s a nice even program cycle flow pattern. If something got hosed up you could usually see it in the jerky locked up lamp patterns, before the alarm messages starting flooding the screens and printers, or worse: nothing– ruh oh… Those patterns of course reflecting the machine’s internal program flow. (pssst, modern computers are getting frighteningly close to actual “brains”, and far more advanced than the typical RWNJ’s little slimy cranial sponge)

I’ve only been in a Starbucks once or twice when the kids dragged me in, paying $3-5 for a coffee just doesn’t interest me. I much prefer my own costing ~40 cents?: A 40oz insulated mug with the bottom third solid ice, a couple scoops of instant, a couple scoops of dark brown sugar, 10 dashes of Angostura Bitters, add ice cold water and ahhhh…
.
Well, hands…?
But what about that mermaid that has been on those cups from day-1??? Topless! With only her hair covering up “Betty and Veronica”!! Huh? Huh?
