    I read about that yesterday, what a terrible thing to do. Glad there was at least some security camera's to debunk the whole mess, I can't imagine being in a situation like that and not having any proof I was in the right.

    Imagine losing your job and being ostracized by everyone for something you didn't do.

    I hate when this sort of thing happens, LGBT people have to put up with enough crap without needing to make things up.

    Looking at the cake, it seems that he planned this from the very beginning - why have the words at the top, leaving lots of space, and not in the middle?

    Good observation!

    This whole story is awful though. I'm pretty sure when you're a pastor, you're not meant to lie to people - especially about something so important. I can't think of what was going through his mind as he orchestrated this stunt.

    I'm only guessing but I bet it was something like this "$,$$$,$$$"
    Why else would it have become a big legal battle, unless he genuinely believed it was standard company policy to write that on LGBT cakes?

    Agree on the observation too, it was a strange request to have it written that way so it does suggest it was premeditated.

    Does he really think things like this are helping our case? :dry:

    Probably just thinking about the money :eusa_doh:
    Because this isn't something someone wanting to speak against Homophobia would do... I hope. :bang:

    I had a hard time believing this from day one. I wasn't prepared to believe it so soon, because this isn't the first time a person has done something like this. Shame on him.
