"A lesbian who lives in Washington, D.C., was appalled to find a
homophobic message sloppily scrawled on a cake she'd ordered from a
bakery in Arlington, Va.
When Sarah picked up the cake today, she found that it not only contained the balloons she specifically requested be removed, but also an apparently homophobic message written in sloppy, unprofessional handwriting. The cake was also chocolate, despite Sarah's request for a carrot cake because it's Lindsey's favorite flavor.
As the photo Sarah shared with The Advocate shows, the cake appears to read "Lesbian Anniv. No Ballons."
Sarah says she opened the cake inside the shop, then immediately asked to speak with a manager upon seeing the message. Sarah says the manager apologized for the sloppy text but not for its inaccurate, homophobic content. The manager refunded Sarah's money and offered her a "less sloppy" cake but refused to address the cake's messaging, even when Sarah pressed the issue. Sarah says she declined the owner's offer for a new cake. She and her partner are planning to eat the cake tonight when they celebrate their anniversary." Full story here!
