Walmart Refused to Write 'Gay' on Cake Celebrating Gay-Straight 'Promposal' – VIDEO<\/b><\/p>\n

\"7665829_G\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As we reported earlier<\/a>, a cake celebrating the adorable promposal shared by Nevada teen<\/a> best friends Jacob Lescenski, straight, and Anthony Martinez, gay<\/a>, was censored by a local Walmart bakery that refused to give Martinez’s aunt a cake with the word “gay<\/a>” on it.<\/p>\n

\"AUNT\"<\/a>Fox 5 KVVU reports:<\/a><\/p>\n

Sandoval said the initial associate told her she couldn’t write that on the cake because it included the word “gay<\/a>,” and that was against store policy. She then asked to speak with a supervisor.<\/p>\n

“[The] Supervisor takes my phone, looks at it, and was like stuck for a minute, and she was like, ‘OK, I’m sorry, we can’t use this’. And then I said, ‘I’m going to ask you what I asked her because you’re the supervisor. Why can’t I use this? I don’t understand. It’s one word. It’s gay<\/a>,'” Sandoval said.<\/p>\n

Not able to use her original idea, Sandoval instead had “You matter, Prom Kings” written on the cake. <\/p>\n

According to Fox 5 News, Walmart claims “proper management<\/a> wasn’t contacted” during the incident and that “nowhere in their store’s policy does it say the word ‘gay<\/a>’ can’t be written on a cake”:<\/p>\n

A store manager<\/a> is set to contact Sandoval to make this wrong right. Sandoval said although she appreciates the gesture, it’s a little too late.<\/p>\n

“It wasn’t hurtful. It was to make my nephew happy, to see a smile on his face. I love that smile, to see that smile, that’s all I wanted, and I’m disappointed. I really am,” Sandoval said.<\/p>\n
