However, Starbucks has denied the claim.<\/p>\n<p>The group, Starbucks Workers United, took to Twitter to share the news, stating that management in several Starbucks franchises had opted to remove PRIDE decorations. They attributed the apparent change in policy to the recent backlash and boycotts aimed at retail giant Target over PRIDE displays that featured \u201ccoming out\u201d greeting cards and \u201ctuck-friendly\u201d and \u201cbinding\u201d swimwear for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/does-gender-affirming-care-for-trans-kids-actually-prevent-suicide-heres-what-the-data-say\/\" title=\"Does \u2018Gender-Affirming Care\u2019 For Trans Kids Actually Prevent Suicide?
