Basically Tim Hortons in Rhode Island is sponsoring a NOM event (thats national act of marriage) and we aren't talking about marriage for all, NOM have been quite prominent in pushing straight marriage for quite sometime, they are attempting to take away the civil rights of gays and lesbians in many states. Tim Hortons just started becoming a little more prevalent down here and this is where they want people to know they stand?

Tim Hortons responds to inquiries about Rhode Island event sponsorship

Recently, Tim Hortons was approached in Rhode Island to provide free coffee and products for a local event, as we do thousands of times a year across Canada and the United States.

For 45 years, Tim Hortons and its store owners have practiced a philosophy of giving back to the communities in which we operate. As a company, our primary focus is on helping children and supporting fundraising events for non-profit organizations and registered charities.

For this reason, Tim Hortons has not sponsored those representing religious groups, political affiliates or lobby groups.

It has come to our attention that the Rhode Island event organizer and purpose of the event fall outside of our sponsorship guidelines. As such, Tim Hortons can not provide support at the event.

Tim Hortons and its store owners have always welcomed all families and communities to its restaurants and will continue to do so. We apologize for any misunderstanding or inconvenience this may have caused.

Glad they retracted.... I was about to dump my recent Timmy Beans straight in the collection plate of the nearest church.

Good.

Everyone can go back to their regularly scheduled coffee and timbit breaks.

I'm definitely glad they realized it was a lobbyist/political thing and backed out.
