Ok, no. This headline distorts the facts significantly. My understanding from reading it is that Starbucks is threatening to take away the employer provided healthcare for everyone, not that it will take away the trans affirming parts of the healthcare. While I absolutely do not side with Starbucks in this situation, let's not misrepresent the facts. This is a worker's rights issue, not an LGBT one.

Lmao yeah what a fucking lie. That's like seeing a team get laid off and saying "X company is firing gay workers" because there was one gay employee in the team.

Fuck this deception
