After Indiana Pizzeria Said They Wouldn’t Cater Gay Weddings, the Backlash Was So Extreme

Crystal O’Connor, the co-owner of Memories Pizza in Indiana, says it may not be safe to re-open their pizzeria after they said they wouldn’t cater a gay wedding.

“I don’t know if we will re-open, or if we can, if it’s safe to re-open,” O’Connor said on TheBlaze TV’s Dana. “We’re in hiding basically, staying in the house.”

O’Connor recently told WBND-TV, “If a gay couple came in and wanted us to provide pizzas for their wedding, we would have to say no.”

She made it clear that they are happy to serve gay customers, but would not be a part of the wedding because of their religious beliefs. National news outlets quickly picked up the story.

O’Connor said they have since received an endless flood of “bashing” comments on social media, and their Yelp page has been trashed. One reviewer wrote that they serve an “intolerance special with toppings of hate, bigotry, stupidity, and old fashioned beliefs.” And a high school gym coach from Walkerton, Indiana has been suspended after urging people on Twitter to burn down their establishment.

Al Sharpton explained that REAL religious people would see it all differently than these backwoods types.

We don’t bus people to the polls like democrats do, but maybe this will be the vehicle to get Christians to the polls and send the progressive agenda to hell. Hope springs eternal.

I hope people go out and support them with their business like they did Chick Filet.

I was part of planning a small wedding this past week end. Not once was I asked if the couple was gay or hetero. Why would anyone feel the need to announce to a caterer (let alone a pizza place} that the couple was gay?

Exactly. Why wouldn’t they just say “six large cheese, six large pepperoni, and four large onion pizzas at 7:00 pm”? They are trying to create confrontations. Liberal activists disgust me.

So that's what she looks like! I often listen to Dana Loesch on the radio during my late night drive home from work. For some reason, I never thought to google her.
