An openly gay pastor is suing Whole Foods Market after a cake he ordered from the flagship store in Austin allegedly contained a gay slur.
The three-letter word written on the cake upset the pastor.
“For me, it was humiliating,” said Jordan Brown. “The feeling that I had, just resurfaced a bunch of painful memories.”
Brown is the founder and pastor of Austin’s Church of Open Doors. He said Thursday, he went to the Austin-based grocer’s downtown Austin store to get a cake for a member of his congregation. He asked the bakery employee to write “Love Wins” on it.
Brown said it took about five minutes, then he paid for the cake and left the store.
“I was rushing out,” Brown said. “I have ordered multiple personalized cakes there before, and I’ve never had a problem, an issue. And so I didn’t think anything of it. ‘Love Wins’ is an easy, simple word.”
Brown said while he was at the stoplight near the store, he noticed an additional word on the cake, a gay slur.
