On Tuesday, the co-owner of Memories Pizza told a local Indiana television station that the restaurant would not cater pizzas to a gay wedding.

On Wednesday, talk radio host Dana Loesch spoke with Crystal O’Connor, the co-owner of Memories Pizza.
Crystal told Dana the family is in hiding and were unable to open the store Wednesday after receiving several threats.

Nearly $500,000 has been raised so far for the Christian business owners on a Go-Fund Me website.

Damn straight!

I was hoping Rush Limbaugh's comments yesterday would help.
And look at that- I think it more than doubled overnight!
Not even 24 hours!

And then NOBODY gets pizza (from them, anyway.)

I hope the sodomites are happy.

Maybe, maybe not. Gift taxes will take a big chunk out of it I assume - I doubt the guy who set up the site will pay that out of his own pocket - and I'm sure there probably is income tax, state and federal, on what's left as well.

I'll bet many homosexuals have either eaten at that pizzeria or thousands of other Christian-owned pizzerias. Maybe the pizzeria owners knew they were homosexuals but didn't care.

But if they're forced out of business, everybody loses...including the homosexuals who used to frequent those places.

Dana is with the Blaze and was on Megyn Kelly’s show last night. Which case are you resting?

Gift taxes don't work that way.

This is going to end up at well over $1 million. I know a couple of people who support same sex marriage who have donated as well.

It’s turning into the focal point for a public outcry against bullying, coercion and intimidation, and the public is putting its money where its mouth is.

Welcome to Chik-fil-A, Part II.

Rush is spending a lot of time on Memories pizza today. I wouldn’t be surprised if the final amount totals more than 1 million.

Rush just reported that people that have donated are being harassed. I can’t wait for them to knock on my door. However, that would require much effort on their part. It is a big difference actually doing something rather than typing a tweet or something.

Here's the interesting thing going on -- DUELING FUND ME websites.

The LGBT Youth group in Indiana is asking for donations to fund THEIR CAUSE.



I would NOT be impressed if the LGBT youth group wins in dollar terms. All it takes is for Tim Cook and Bill Gates to donate a few million bucks and they'd overtake the small donations given by tens of thousands to Memories Pizza.

But then, we'd like to see HOW MANY are donating.

This is the MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS in action.
