Did this gay pastor fake a cake with an anti-gay decoration? Whole Foods thinks so.
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.”

look closely the size of the lettering - it is not the same with this blown up photo, the Love Wins stands up and is a bit thicker as it were than the Fags lettering
“As you can also see, both the color and thickness of the icing is different. “
Yes. Also, there are blobs, and variations in line thickness in the added “FAG” — both signs that it was written by an amateur, not the professional cake decorator that wrote “LOVE WINS”.

The letter G is oddly shaped, too. They should get a printing sample from him in CAPS, with several Gs in it.
Upon closer scrutiny, the icing used to spell the slur is a different shade. Unlike the blue of the first two words, the slur leans toward a green. The brutha screwed up.
But the difference in the writing of the added word is just icing on the cake confirming its a hoax.
