A gay baker in Michigan is speaking out after she received a request for a custom cake with a homophobic message.
Esteemed baker April Anderson, who has baked for Oprah Winfrey, owns and operates Good Cakes and Bakes with her partner in Detroit. On July 19, she said she received a $40 online order for a custom red velvet cake. A $10 tip was also included, Anderson told the Detroit Free Press.
As Anderson looked at the order, which had the word “Pride” in all caps, she realized it contained a homophobic message.
“I am ordering this cake to celebrate and have PRIDE in true Christian marriage,” the customer said in the order, the Free Press reported. “I’d like you to write on the cake, in icing, ‘Homosexual acts are gravely evil.’ (Catholic Catechism 2357)”. […]

Fixed it.
I’d go back further to “sodomite”, since “homosexual” was coined by the pro-gay journalist Karl-Maria Kertbeny to “legitimize” the abomination (he also coined “heterosexual”).
My first thought was she is lying.
the only diff is that their making the cake doesn’t violate a religious conviction- they may not like doing it, but it’s not a violation of a religious conscience for them to do so
Heh, that wouldn’t surprise me one bit.
I bet the baker made the whole thing up.
How does someone ordering a cake make national news?
we should flood cake shops with pro life message cakes and sue anybody who wont do it.
Yeah sure he was, because he never pays any attention to news about Christian bakers being sued for not honoring requests to bake such cakes. This baker is a liar, without a doubt.
My first thought was she is lying.

Yup. It reeks of fake.
Church Militant founder Michael Voris spoke out, stating the customer, identified as David Gordon, acted independently of the group by ordering the cake.
Last paragraph of the article.
#9. Ask Marie Antoinette about how that works.
She should start offering MAGA cupcakes while she is getting free publicity.
I would not have forced her to do this had I other options.
Chances are this cake, while baking, filled the air with far
better aroma than this half baked lie could muster.
I’m still waiting for a pro-homsexual message written on a cake baked at one of the many dozens of Muslim owned bakeries in Detroit and Dearborn.
I sure wouldn't.
She baked the cake but her online policy is no activist messages... so she didn’t include the message.
