Texas pastor sues Whole Foods Market for allegedly writing gay slur on cake


An openly gay pastor in Texas is suing Whole Foods Market for allegedly writing a gay slur on his custom-ordered cake.

Jordan Brown said he wanted the words "Love Wins" written on the sweet treat, but discovered an additional word added to his message in bold, blue frosting.

In a video, Brown said he contacted an employee at the store, but was told it had not committed any wrongdoing. Since then, the grocery chain released a statement in response to what happened.

"Our team member wrote 'Love Wins' at the top of the cake as requested by the guest, and that's exactly how the cake was packaged and sold at the store," the statement said. "We stand behind our bakery team member, who is part of the LGBTQ community, and the additional team members from the store who confirmed the cake was decorated with only the message 'Love Wins.'"
