Watch the CEO of Starbucks Tell a Shareholder to Sell His Shares if He's Not Down With Marriage EqualityStarbucks CEO Howard Schultz made news last week after reportedly telling shareholder Tom Strobhar "fuck you!" - not in so many words - after Strobhar questioned Schultz on the company's support for marriage equality, suggesting that he simply sell his shares if he didn't like Starbucks' stance on the issue.

Now there's video of Schultz announcing to shareholders:

We want to embrace diversity - of all kinds. If you feel, respecfully, that you can get a higher return than the 38% you got last year, it's a free country. You can sell your shares at Starbucks and buy shares at another company. Thank you very much.
