![[Linked Image from advocate.com]](https://www.advocate.com/sites/default/files/rainbowcookies.jpg) A Texas bakery that said it lost business and Facebook followers after it posted a photo of rainbow-frosted, heart-shaped cookies in celebration of LGBTQ Pride Month has amassed many new fans from around the world.
The bakery shared a post about the backlash it said it received because it posted support for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community.
"Today has been hard. Really hard. We lost a significant amount of followers because of a rainbow heart cookie we posted. We received a very hateful message on our business page canceling a large order (5dz) of summer themed cookies for tomorrow morning (that we just finished decorating) because of a rainbow heart cookie we posted. My heart is heavy," a post on the Confections Facebook page stated.
As word spread about the backlash, customers lined up around the block the next day to buy treats from Confections.
Co-owner Dawn Cooley shared a photo of the line on Facebook and said the bakery sold out because people came out to show their support.
"In the 11 years we’ve been open we’ve never seen anything quite like this," Cooley wrote.https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc...-backlash-rainbow-pride-cookies-rcna1131

Goosey is probably busy getting goosed with a greased gerbil...

Not buying it Chiefly because Leftists only destroy they never build. If it were real, the bakery would have posted the identities of those who canceled orders and expressed contrary opinions so that minions could destroy jobs homes families and businesses. This is a publicity stunt and nothing more.

Tell me where in Texas this ? Northeast of Houston a ways. It looks like a well thought through publicity stunt. Kudos to the bakery people for fleecing the woke crowd.

Yep, all he's got is his identity as a liberal and his sympathy for sexual misfits. What a sad life.

Even if true it's only temporary, pretty soon the queers will forget all about the queer cookies and move on, the normal people will not forget.

Per the article....canceling a "large" order of 5 dozen cookies. My wife does that on a weekday just for anyone who stops by.
Publicity stunt.

The weak-minded (like you) are easily led.
