Austin pastor claims Whole Foods cake had homophobic slur

AUSTIN, Texas (KEYE) — An Austin pastor says a cake he ordered from Whole Foods last Thursday had a homophobic slur written on the top when he received it.

The attorney for Pastor Jordan Brown says he ordered a cake from the Whole Foods store on Lamar Boulevard with the personalized message "Love Wins," but when he received it said "Love Wins F--."

"As a 30-year-old openly gay pastor, I have had to face years of discrimination and judgement for something that I had no control over," Brown says. He explains, that trauma resurfaced Thursday with the incident involving the cake.

In a YouTube video, Pastor Brown says he didn't realize what it said until he got into his vehicle. In the video he shows the box containing the cake was still sealed. Brown says when he told store management what happened they said their employee did not do it and no action would be taken.

Brown's attorney, Austin Kaplan, says after reaching out to the Whole Foods corporate office and receiving no substantive response for more than three days, they filed a lawsuit. "We had no choice but to do this because Whole Foods did not respond when we alerted them about the situation," says Kaplan.

"Pastor Brown never asked for this to happen. He continues to be overwhelmed by the feelings of pain, anguish, and humiliation because of this incident," says Kaplan. "He frequently shopped at Whole Foods, which makes this all the more shocking and disappointing. What really concerns him is knowing that unless some action is taken, this kind of thing could happen again, and that someone else might have to go through a similarly excruciating experience."

I’ll bet that “F” word is written in a different style, and that the icing does not quite match in either texture or color.

All a legacy of the Obama presidency... people pretty much just ignored gays until Obama came along and made it popular for them to be “in-your-face.”

You know there was a story I was told as a child about a little boy who cried “wolf” just one too many times.

It’s bad enough these fdrq’s are lying. It’s even worse a so called “pastor” does it!

Yes-—there was another thread on this.

A close-up of the cake shows differences in the icing.

Another sicko trying to start trouble-—and probably get money.

FReepers are so correct when they say this is a mental illness! To think a man who calls himself a pastor. For shame!!

The box “may” have been sealed, but there was still a large clear cellophane window on the lid where one could easily see the top of the cake.

He is probably a PINO, a false prophet.

That homo freak chose the wrong establishment to accuse of something like that. Go to ANY Whole Foods, its homo central

Saw a post on Facebook by someone purporting to the a former cake decorator for Whole Foods. He (I think it was a he) said the policy was to open the box and show any customized cake to the customer for approval and then to seal the box for checkout.

He is the "pastor" of a "gay" church. That is bad enough.

That would be a logical policy to make sure any custom cake was what was ordered before the customer pays.
