Indiana pizzeria closes after threats

[spookyturtle 9,466]

I should like to remind everyone that I remain homeless, in Hawaii. Please visit my gofundme page and donate gregariously and generously.

Go live with Marvin.

don't feed the trolls!

Yet you feed the same ones every day. Go figure.

No idea with the brown shirt. I figure if we bring it out in the open and talk about this lady, though, it keeps the trolls from being able to reveal it like an ace up the sleeve. Sounds like this lady was upset and needed to take a breather before going on social media.

they'll still use it as their ace, they take what they can get.

and to me, this woman is just an idiot. she doesn't get a pass anymore than the pizza woman.. anyone who works in a public school system should know not to encourage burning a business down on a public forum. what if some of her students had taken her words to heart and gotten themselves in serious trouble?

Go live with Marvin.

there's nothing else to do here. don't do as i do, do what i say.

I'm waiting for the Moosleem revolution. Marvin should be appointed Supreme Khalifah of the islands and I am hoping for a sweet government job under his administration. I would love to run the local 'Surf-n-Burkha' shop, part-time of course...

Go live with Marvin.

No definitely no pass. Someone in a teaching position needs to have impulse control. She should be fired and held up as an example of poor impulse control.

Hate begets Hate.

Though I think the business owners probably weren't bad people and didn't deserve their fate.

this is what happens every time that someone says they're unwilling to serve gay people. They wanted the publicity.

If the actually quote was "we won't cater a gay wedding or any wedding" then I don't think thats true. They openly said they serve gay people in their brick and mortar location.

it's the same thing various cake places have said. They'll get more via a go fund me campaign than they'd make during the period they'll be closed.

If they said any wedding, I would be shocked.

So claims the OP.

literally no other article I can find says that. They all say the people said gay marriages were against their religion.

This shyte will hit the fan bit time when some store owner invokes this law when refusing to serve black or Asian clients, on religious grounds...

ABC-57 reporter Alyssa Marino’s editor sends her on a half-hour drive southwest of their South Bend studio, to the small town of Walkerton (Pop. ~2,300). According to Alyssa’s own account on Twitter, she “just walked into their shop [Memories Pizza] and asked how they feel” about Indiana’s new Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Owner Crystal O’Connor says she’s in favor of it, noting that while anyone can eat in her family restaurant, if the business were asked to cater a gay wedding, they would not do it. It conflicts with their biblical beliefs. Alyssa’s tweet mentions that the O’Connors have “never been asked to cater a same-sex wedding.”

I will throw this out there. If I'm a caterer and a couple comes to me for a wedding and wants their food sourced Halal and I turn them down because I don't support Halal am I discriminating against them?
