Taytum Buford (Period 6)- Homophobic on a Pastor

Summary: An openly gay pastor that ordered a cake from Whole Foods was definitely in for a surprise. Instead of reading, "Love Wins", the homophobic cake read, "Love Wins, Fag". The pastor has hired a lawyer that has had previous successes dealing with gay issues. Whole Foods rejects that a member of their team wrote this. However, the cake was sealed and has not been opened. The case has still been undecided as lawyers are gathering all the facts.
Analysis: This has to be one of the worst stories I have written about. I don't want to believe that someone could be that horrible, but obviously it is possible. I am also really hoping that it was not somebody at whole foods, but looking at the facts, it is hard to deny that they did it. This can relate to the counter culture era of the 1960's-1970's. Many people were coming out, and the traditional culture was very much against it. It is extremely sad, that even with gay marriage legal everywhere in the U.S., people still can't see past their ridiculous judgments.
