Gay Pastor Jordan Brown said he ordered a cake from Whole Foods with “Love Wins” spelled out on top but was given a cake with “Love Wins Fag” instead.
Pastor Jordan immediately called a lawyer and went to the press.
He lives in Austin, Texas, the most liberal city east of San Francisco.
Mike Cernovich at Danger and Play suspected the story was a hoax.
The media is reporting on yet another hoax, “A gay Austin preacher says he ordered a cake with ‘Love Wins’ from Whole Foods. He says he got ‘Love wins, Fag.’”
Although anything in possible in this crazy world, this story has all of the telltale signs of a hoax:
It fits a narrative. (Everyone hates gays.)
The “victim” hired a lawyer within hours.
The “victim” took his story to a friendly journalist.
The “victim” destroyed evidence.
The letters don’t match.
Add to the story some real life facts. Austin, Texas is the most liberal city outside of San Francisco, and Whole Foods is as left-wing as it gets. Do you really believe that an employee at a Whole Foods in a liberal city wrote Fag on a cake?
And then there’s this…
Whole Foods released a statement today saying the cake was prepared by a member of the LGBTQ community.

But Whole Foods released a statement after the story broke and said the cake was packaged by a team member who is part of the LGBTQ Community.
