A Christian troll wants to sue a lesbian baker after she made an antigay cake he ordered
A rightwing troll ordered a cake with an anti-LGBTQ message from a lesbian baker, apparently hoping that she’d refuse to make it so he could cry anti-Christian bigotry.
She made it, though. He refused to pick it up for days. She eventually had to throw it away, and then the troll threatened to take her to court.
April Anderson runs the Good Cakes and Bakes bakery in Detroit with her wife Michelle. She has made a name for herself and has baked for Oprah Winfrey and appeared on the Today show.
But she’s not a stranger to bias.
“We are so used to being Black lesbian women,” Anderson told the Detroit Free Press. “You are used to people discriminating against you and saying mean things to you.”
