Pro-gay church pastor hands out free cupcakes at gay bars
http://www.pinknews.co.uk/2015/04/06/pro-gay-church-pastor-hands-out-free-cupcakes-at-gay-bars/Reverend Drew Ludwig of Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church in Buffalo, New York, distributed over 500 cupcakes outside a number of gay bars on Saturday night.
His campaign was part of a bid to challenge the way ‘religious freedom’ has been cited in Indiana to pass a controversial law that gives businesses the right to refuse to serve gay people on the grounds of religion.
According to TWC News, the pastor said: “I found that our faith was misrepresented. Jesus was about loving people, serving people, not denying service. No matter what, we can love you and serve you.”
He told Buffalo News: “(My thought was) how can I get the message out there? How can we counter this assumption?”

edit: I wonder if he made them in his toaster oven.
