A young lesbian woman in Cochrane, Canada, faced rejection at a local Dairy Queen when her family's request for a birthday cake message was denied by the establishment's supervisor, Global News reports. Summer Gibbons and her sister had requested a cake reading "Happy Birthday Lesbian" for Gibbons' 22nd birthday celebration. After initially being told that was okay by a female employee, Gibbons' sister Gracie was told by a supervisor that "it was family establishment and they can't put that on a cake for other families to see," Gibbons related. When Gibbons' family took the issue to the establishment's owner, "He said it's policy because it was sexual in nature to put on a cake," Gibbons recalled. Gibbons had known in seventh grade she was lesbian, she told Global News, but it wasn't until just two years ago that she came out. Since then she's found love and acceptance - until now. Gibbons spoke of "Having that feeling of not be welcomed for being who I am and that not being okay," and said, "I only came out to my grandparents a year ago and I struggled with it. "It's about being comfortable with who you are and this makes me not comfortable because of fear of judgement and rejection."
