Not sure if anyone else has seen this story, but a pastor claimed whole Foods made him a cake with "Love Wins ***" written on it, the *** part not being requested. By looking at the cake you can see there is a difference in the piping and so that does call things into question. And now Whole Foods has released some evidence of their own as well. All of this not taking into account that the rumor is the associate that made the cake is gay himself. It's quite the story.

Anyone on here knows my stance on same-sex marriage and how the Christian community deals with that. Things like this, they piss me off. If this pastor did manufacture this incident, and I'm on the side that thinks he did, then he does serious damage to the cause of anyone that has actually face and will actually face this type of hate. It exists, there is enough of it out there that doing something like this is just stupid.

Quote:Anyone who has paid a visit to the Whole Foods flagship store in Austin, knows the location is the gem in the pricey grocery chain’s organic crown. As one reviewer once put it: “The 80,000-square-foot market, bar, eatery, makeup counter and pick-up joint (we suspect) makes our local branches look like the neighborhood 7-11.”
But one visitor to the Austin location says he was not so enthusiastic about a recent trip. An openly gay pastor in the city where Whole Foods was founded has filed a lawsuit against the chain, claiming it sold him a cake that read “Love Wins F-g.”
But commenters on social media wondered why the pastor didn’t immediately notice the anti-gay slur, accusing him of altering the cake, as did Whole Foods, which countersued, claiming that the pastor made “fraudulent” accusations.
In a video posted last week, Jordan Brown of Austin’s Church of Open Doors said he ordered a cake from Whole Foods meant to read “Love Wins” — a slogan associated with the movement to legalize same-sex marriage. But when he picked up the cake April 14, it had a quite different message, he said.
“When I got into my vehicle, I looked inside and saw they had wrote ‘Love Wins F-g’ on it,” Brown said, holding a receipt he said was from the cake. “You can see it nice and clear. Also, it is still in a sealed box. As you see, I have not opened up this box yet.”
