A Publix supermarket in Florida refused to put a simple message on a cake;
“Trans People Deserve Joy”
The co-founders of a transgender support group in Florida say they were purchasing for an event and the bakery manager offered to decorate it with the last three words and give the customer enough icing to add “trans” themselves.
The manager said,
it was taking a stance, and that they weren’t allowed to take a stance on stuff like that.”
Yasmin Flasterstein of Peer Support Space told Orlando Weekly that the manager said they couldn’t write “Black Lives Matter” on a cake either.
Publix later claimed the worker was mistaken, but did not respond to specific questions from Orlando Weekly about the situation.
