Media outlets speculated that the hands belonged to a lesbian couple and apparently pushes a "gay agenda" onto consumers, according to Business Insider.

"The new red cup is one of the many surprises we’ve had in store for our customers this holiday season," a Starbucks spokesperson told Mashable. "There have always been two cups planned for this holiday season. This year, we intentionally designed our cups so our customers can interpret them in their own way."

Starbucks also plans to give away $25,000 grants to 27 lucky winners of a new "Upstanders Challenge" contest. The contest recognizes benevolent individuals and groups who selflessly give back to their communities.
Additionally, on World Aids Day, Dec. 1, Starbucks will also donate 25 cents to the Global Fund for each holiday-themed beverage sold including the Peppermint Mocha, Toasted White Chocolate Mocha, Caramel Brulée Latte and Eggnog Latte.
"This year marks the 20th anniversary of Starbucks holiday cups and it’s a ritual for many that’s as beloved as that first sip of Peppermint Mocha," the spokesperson said.
