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.”
underneath that? I think it is for a funeral.
Someone penned a book a few decades ago in which he predicted that America would lose her soul (the common, mutually agreed upon traditions, customs, mores and philosophy upon which we were founded) and would one day become “UNGOVERNABLE”.
In case you haven’t been paying attention, WE’RE THERE!!

The note given to the bakery read:
Congratulations so and so
(underneath that)
We will miss you!
They frosted the instructions to write the second line beneath the first. Badly. haha
What does ungovernable mean, exactly? Seems to me there’s too much government, all of it against most of our morals and culture, that’s causing all out problems.
You will not find anyone who wants fezilla trimmed and held at around 10% of its present size.
No, the government best suited to a republic such as this one once WAS is SELF-GOVERNMENT.
It — and the essential LOVE OF COUNTRY — is eloquently spoken of in the second and third stanzas of “America The Beautiful”:
O beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern, impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
CONFIRM THY SOUL IN SELF CONTROL,
Thy liberty in law!
O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness,
And every gain divine!
The cake story is obviously true because an oppressed person made the claim. End of story. Hand over some cash, Whole Foods!
I don’t get it either.
Tell me what I am missing in that.
I don’t understand.
Oh!
Now I get it.
LOL!
!
Oh, dear.
You just messed up my ping page!
But thanks, anyway. First I’ve seen of the rev-rund Mr. Brown.
Not all the photos are like that. But I thought that this one best expressed his true personality.
Hell, if you’ve ever decorated a cake, you can SEE the writing was with a different sized tip!
I understand.
Check out the cake at # 57 !
Well, the good pastor is going to jail for constructive fraud 2 counts.
Raising money for a new church that turned out to be an apartment building doesn’t work very well : )
