There has been a huge dust-up in L.I., which has poured through the innertubes, over the nasty evil firing of a gay Starbucks employee in front of people, basically for being gay. The blogger became an instrument of change. She walked out of the shop to console the guy, and then described the scene via a letter to the company.
Seattle TV then covers it. Facebook protest ensues. Starbucks is on the defensive.
The blogger was courageous in standing up and speaking up, the only actions that begin to stop bullying and bigotry. Cowards depend on the silence of the crowd.
