Whole Food's in Hot Water over Anti-Gay Cake

A gay pastor from Texas is suing Whole Foods because when he went to pick up a cake he ordered at their flagship store in Austin, Texas, a gay slur was written on it - according to USA Today.

The Pastor had asked the Whole Food's Bakery to write "Love Wins" on the cake - they did that but they also wrote a gay slur.

From the images available online it is unclear what the slur was exactly.  Regardless, a member of the LGBTQ community was offended by Whole Food's insensitive actions.

Though this story is upsetting, I think it is promising that the mainstream media picked up on it. Additionally, the reporting is clearly in favor of the Pastor.
