A Toronto based ice cream parlour chain is facing a backlash over its attempts to expand into the U-S.
A petition hosted on CitizenGO, that popped up after the company opened up an ice cream parlour in Baltimore, calls Sweet Jesus “offensive and revolting,” and accuses the ice cream parlour of hate speech towards Christians.
Sweet Jesus, which has a location on Falls Avenue in Niagara Falls, has a disclaimer on its website that reads “our name was created from the popular phrase that people use as an expression of enjoyment, surprise or disbelief. Our aim is not to offer commentary on anyone’s religion or belief systems, our own organization is made up of amazing people that represent a wide range of cultural and religious beliefs"
