I have messaged Tim Hortons on Facebook asking that they consider making a rainbow coffee cup for Pride month (starting June 1st) and they have replied stating that they will forward my messages to their internal team for review. They informed me that the internal team would contact me, if needed. If/when they contact me I would love to be able to demonstrate how many people support this idea. If you agree that Tim Hortons should use rainbow cups during Pride month, sign below! Spread the love ; spread the Pride!
* Since Camp Day is the beginning of June we are fully accepting of the possibility that the Pride cup - should it be created - may not last the whole month of Pride. The Toronto Pride Parade itself is on July 3rd, and we hope Tim Hortons will consider the idea and launch the cup after Camp Day is over, continuing it's use until just after the Toronto Pride Parade.
I think this is an incredible idea, and acknowledging it will also receive a lot of hate, I think the more often big corporations like Tim Hortons express their support of the LGBT community, the more "normal" it will become. A lot of companies end up concerned about the backlash, and possibility of boycotts, but with the majority of Timmies being within Canada, I think that's something they won't have to even worry about.
