Whole Foods to take legal action against pastor who claimed cake had homophobic slur
AUSTIN, Texas -- A Texas pastor who claimed a cake he bought from Whole Foods in Austin had a homophobic slur written on it is now facing legal action of his own from the supermarket giant.
The attorneys for Pastor Jordan Brown said he ordered a cake from a Whole Foods store with the personalized message "Love Wins," but when he received it, the cake said "Love Wins F**."
But Whole Foods is disputing his claim.
They say his accusations are fraudulent, and they intend to take legal action against Brown and his attorney.
According to his attorney, Pastor Brown is an openly gay African-American man, and founder of the Church of Open Doors, a non-denominational, Christian-based church.

Think he picked the wrong store chain to try and fleece.
While I like to shop there occasionally it is obvious the employees would likely be sympathetic to his lifestyle.
He would have had better luck to try this at Piggly Wiggly, IGA, Ingles.
Love Wins Film Actors Guild?
Good
Maybe some civil justice will stop this stuff
“Pastor”??? He might have a thing for sheep, but he is not a “shepherd” anyone who cares about their souls should follow...
Yeah—it was sort of low hanging fruit and all.........
After pastor brown and his attorney were shown the store video of the purchase, brown was heard to say “now ain’t that a bitch!”
so the boy couldn't see the word FAG through the top of the box... yeah, right
And just very cursory analysis of the icing will most likely indicate it is nothing that the store carries.
Syphilis infection affects the eyesight, I've heard.
Good catch—I missed that.
.
Yep. Hoax.
LOLOL!!! no doubt
Not the same color. Not the same ‘font’. Clearly a fraud.
LOL~I was a typesetter for 25 years, so I appreciate that one!! :)
NOBODY buys a custom cake and doesn't check it for spelling mistakes, etc.
And the whole wedding cake thing makes no sense either.
It's a small, cheap round cake.
No self-respecting gay couple would have THAT as their cake, even if it just said "love wins". ONLY at the top?
The rest of the cake was bare?
It must be quite a small wedding if that's the cake.
If I was to guess, I'd say that the decorator and the "minister" were both in on it.
As far as hoaxes go, this one is pretty lame.
I hope Whole Foods sues this guy blind.
Or he bought a plain cake and “decorated” it himself. As noted above the letters don’t match the rest of the frosting. That doesn’t prove anything, they could just use different frosting, but nothing seems legit about it.
The story is that the cake has the fake preacher showed has the label on the side but in the video of him purchasing a cake the label was at the front, proving this isn’t even the same box or cake.
