Now Sally, you know every time you take a sip from that cup, the baby Jesus weeps. :-D
There's been some people who have been offended by the quotes on Starbuck's cups, like this lady who saw the same quote you did:

Here's the Baptist Press accusing Starbucks of "blatantly pushing the homosexual agenda" for using this quote:
http://www.bpnews.net/bpnews.asp?ID=21387
"My only regret about being gay is that I repressed it for so long. I surrendered my youth to the people I feared when I could have been out there loving someone. Don't make that mistake yourself. Life's too [expletive] short."
Oh yeah, the Homosexual Agenda. In my official copy, it says on page 271 "plant a subversive quote in a consumer product, and you'll convert a straight person." That's exactly what happened - Pastor Ted Haggard, a 100% straight man with a wife, was sitting in a Starbuck's minding his own business, when he looked down at his coffee cup, saw the quote, and was overcome with desire to get high on meth and have gay sex with a male prostitute. Thank Jesus he was able to attend counseling for a few weeks to "pray the gay away."
Love ya,
Stewart
