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.

I thought this was done already by Rev. Wright and Obama as congregant? Along with, at one time, Oprah Winfrey.

And then there’s that whole Donald Young murdered in December, 2007 thingy................

Oh snap. The money tree just up and died.

Whole Foods doesn’t know whether to poop or go blind. If they ignore it, they can be labeled as haters. If they go after the gay pastor, they are part of an unfortunate optic that is bad for the LGBT cause.
Lose-loose.

I couldn’t figure it out, either, until the end of the article where it says the guy is an open homosexual. Then the little light went on.

Neat - doesn’t take a nucular science to see the writing is different for FAG. It is slimmer than the rest of the letters.
Teaching moment for whole foods ‘LGBT Warriors’ are pond scum and this entire live and let live doesn’t work for them.

He shouldn’t have targeted another left wing bastion like Whole Foods.

The “Love Wins” writing on the cake was originally done in the purple color of the trim. The pastor, or whomever, added “f*g” in blue, and then to match, went over the “Love Wins” portion. The two different thicknesses are obvious on the cake.

He wanted to have his cake, and ‘eat it,’ too.

The rest of the story is that the Whole Foods employee who decorated the cake is “a member of the LGBT community,” according to their spokesman. Doh! I hope Whole Foods sues this clown for at least a million bucks as a warning to all the queer hoaxers that everyone is sick of them and their antics.

Whole Paycheck vs gay preacher. Is there any way they can both lose?

I guess I’m not seeing the problem here. I thought it was fair and proper for a fag to call another fag a fag. What’s the pastor’s objection?

The video shown by WFoods shows the UPC label on top of the box.
When the “ victim” brought it back, the bar code label was in a different location on the box.
