HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - If you drink Starbucks coffee, you're supporting gay marriage.

That's part of the message a former pastor from Texas gave while speaking at Whitesburg Baptist Church on May 19.

David Barton is the founder of Texas-based WallBuilders - which, according to its website, "is an organization dedicated to presenting America's forgotten history and heroes, with an emphasis on the moral, religious, and constitutional foundation on which America was built - a foundation which, in recent years, has been seriously attacked and undermined."

During his sermon at Whitesburg Baptist Church, he spoke out against Starbucks' support of gay marriage, according to Buzzfeed. A video of Barton's remarks can be seen here.

"Starbucks is pouring all this money into destroying traditional marriage," Barton said. "The question is, can a Christian give money to a group he knows will use it to attack what God supports. If you know that when you buy a cup of Starbucks, 5, 10, 15 cents is going to be used to defeat marriage, can you do that? The answer is no.

"Biblically, there's no way a Christian can help support what is attacking God. I'm sorry, you've got to find some other coffee to drink. You can't drink Starbucks and be Biblically correct on this thing. It's just a real simple principle."

The audience applauded as Barton concluded his remarks.
