Got Truth?

I know this happened a long time ago, but I just saw an article posted again about how the CEO of Starbucks has "no tolerance for traditional marriage supporters." As a Christian myself, I get so tired of when other Christians misrepresent people's words to try to fit their own argument. This isn't about whether you agree with the man's position or not. This is about being proponents and spreaders of truth. The man simply said “If you feel, respectfully, that you can get a higher return than the 38% you got last year, it’s a free country. You can sell your shares of Starbucks and buy shares in another company." Nothing about "we don't want your business." In the non-condescending, respectful tone we so often beg for, he just told us that no one is forcing you to buy Starbucks. (And let's not get into all the things you'd also be boycotting if you boycott Starbucks for their stance. Unless you believe hypocrisy is ok.) Can we please just spread truth and not say that people said something they didn't say? For being Christian, some people sure do have a funny idea of what telling the truth is.
