On June 2, Confections, a bakery in Lufkin, Texas, shared a photo of the cookies on Facebook with a message:

Confections co-owner Dawn Cooley shared a photo of the line on Facebook and said the bakery sold out as a result of people coming out to show their support. "The last several people in our shop put Money on their credit card for us to donate because there was nothing left to purchase," she said.

I seriously don’t understand why people get their panties in a wad over this stuff.

This world is full of people that should. E ashamed of themselves world gone mad just get over yourself and this world needs more love, laughter, and joy with peace Amen

Listen there is a large majority of the human race that does not support gay and lesbian and that's okay it gets worse the more they push back just like blacks and it will go on forever and ever listen god set this world up a certain way you can't change it
