Baylor University Starbucks has pulled cup #43 with the quote from the homosexual novelist I discussed before.
Baylor Dining Services oversees two coffee shops. One of them has a scriptural reference in its title. The other was recently asked to remove a series of cups that some would argue "promote homosexuality."
Late last week, the Baylor Starbucks pulled about 500 cups with a quote by gay author Armistead Maupin after a faculty member complained.

Private School. There funds. Can do what they want and we can complain all we want but that's a fact.

It's personal now because that's my school.
This story got a good bit of coverage from the local media. Not a single mention was made of any other cups, such as the ones written by right-wing conservatives that you mentioned.
Some of the professors interviewed were upset about the decision and took a similar stance that you did: a Christian university should foster discussion from all sides.
