A Publix bakery in Florida refused to write “trans people deserve joy” on a sheetcake for an event with the local transgender community, one of the organizers said.
A Florida bakery refused to write the word “trans” on a cake requested by two social workers who had hoped to bring the treat to an event they had organized for the local transgender community.
After waiting for what “felt like an eternity,” a manager from the bakery “comes back, looks me directly in the eyes and says, ‘I’m sorry we can’t write that. Publix is not allowed to take a stance on this issue,’” Hill said.“I’m trying to give a message of hope to our community and I feel like I’m getting shot down right at that moment,” they said. “It was really just hurtful.”
“I don’t think it was any of the staff’s fault,” Hill said, noting that one employee, who told them she had trans friends, “tearfully” agreed to write “people deserve joy.” “There was a miscommunication somewhere that [the employees] really felt that they could not write something like this,” Hill said. “All we want to know and all we want clarity on, is like where did that go wrong? … What’s the narrative where people are fearful to write this and where did it come from?”publix.com, the grocery store giant admitted that the employees should have agreed to write the message.
