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.”
