Starbucks celebrated the beginning of Seattle's 40th LGBT Pride Week on Monday by raising an 800 square foot rainbow pride flag over its Seattle headquarters.
“A gesture as simple as flying a flag might not seem like much on face, but it represents another step forward for the LGBT community as companies all around Seattle both recognize and celebrate the LGBT community,” said Seattle Pride, in a statement.
“The flag flying over their headquarters will welcome thousands of visitors coming to Seattle to celebrate Pride this week and is a testament to the support Starbucks has shown the LGBT community over the years,” said Adam McRoberts, Communications Director for Seattle Pride.
