In April gay Pastor Jordan Brown from Austin, Texas, 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 – the most liberal city east of San Francisco.
Mike Cernovich at Danger and Play immediately 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 Monday saying the cake was prepared by a member of the LGBTQ community.

Whole Foods released video footage they said proved the gay pastor lied.
Whole Foods then counter-sued the pastor.
Today Pastor Brown dropped his suit against Whole Foods and apologized.
MSN reported:
The Texas pastor who sued Whole Foods in April for allegedly writing a gay slur on a cake he bought withdrew his lawsuit on Monday and apologized to the supermarket chain for perpetrating a hoax, KVUE reported.
Openly gay pastor Jordan Brown said in April that he requested a cake from Whole Foods with the phrase “Love Wins” written on it, but when he received his cake there was a homophobic remark added. Brown made the accusation in an Internet video and launched a lawsuit shortly thereafter.
But alert viewers quickly pointed out that the icing style used to write “Love Wins” and the gay slur appeared to differ, and Whole Foods released surveillance video showing the cake being purchased with only “Love Wins” in writing.
