WATCH: (VIDEO)Company Faces Major Criticism for Embracing Bud Light-Style Approach in Response to Controversial “Woke” Commercial
In the video, we see a touching portrayal of a father grappling with the challenges of embracing his transgender daughter’s transition.
However, by the conclusion of the advertisement, he demonstrates his acceptance by ordering a beverage under her new name.
Starbucks India shared the video on Twitter with the accompanying message:
“Your name is a reflection of your true self, whether it’s Arpit or Arpita. At Starbucks, we celebrate and embrace your individuality, because being genuine is of utmost importance to us. #ItStartsWithYourName.”
Your name defines who you are – whether it’s Arpit or Arpita. At Starbucks, we love and accept you for who you are. Because being yourself means everything to us. #ItStartsWithYourName. 💚 pic.twitter.com/DKNGhKZ1Hg

How ridiculous for people to think that only those who are cis gender do business with any company. Get over yourself, folks. I thought the video was beautiful and heart warming.
