Starbucks Denies Banning Pride Decor Despite Employee Claims of Removal Orders

Starbucks faced criticism after employees claimed they were told to remove Pride flags and decorations from stores during Pride Month.
Starbucks denies changing any policy or banning Pride decor, saying it was an "outlier" decision by some local leaders.
Some employees say they were given various reasons for not allowing Pride decor like safety concerns or standardizing decor.
Starbucks Workers United criticized Starbucks for not supporting LGBTQ workers during a time of anti-LGBTQ legislation.
While Starbucks highlights its LGBTQ support through policies, donations, and legal briefs, some workers feel uncomfortable and unsupported.
