Revealed - Who the Republicans are protecting from big bad gays and lesbians

Next time you hear about the gays are getting married so they can force wedding florists and bakers to make stuff for them... AGH, THE AGONY! Ahem, this is who they are protecting.

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.

Sarah, who asked that her last name not be used, tells The Advocate she placed an order for a cake with a bakery near her job in Arlington, intending to surprise her genderqueer partner, Lindsey, on the couple’s anniversary. She asked for a carrot cake, based on a design she saw in the bakery’s catalog that featured balloons on the cake’s top. Sarah asked that the custom design not include the balloons, but include the words “Happy Anniversary Lindsey! Love, Sarah.”

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.”

This is appalling and they need to be put out of business.

Until she names them, I'll have to be skeptical in light of recent events.
