Crystal OConnor, the co-owner of Memories Pizza in Indiana, says it may not be safe to re-open their pizzeria after they said they wouldnt cater a gay wedding.
I dont know if we will re-open, or if we can, if its safe to re-open, OConnor said on TheBlaze TVs Dana. Were in hiding basically, staying in the house.
OConnor 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.
OConnor 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.

Sodom’s cup is nearing fullness.
Homosexuality is a behavior. It is an act. We have a significant portion of our population that must think there are males born with another male’s penis in their mouth. Do homosexual males just walk down the street with another male’s penis in their mouth?
So, they kind of choose when to be homosexual? The act is what defines them, and they choose when to engage in that act.
Do they do it to have babies?
Juden verboten.
Paging George Takei!
Methinks a little Karma is due the person or persons who started trashing this small businesse’s reputation.
I was shocked that yelp didn’t pull their page after all the nastiness that were not reviews being posted there.
I’ve never been to a wedding that featured pizza caterers. Do they dress up in tuxes and work as servers? All the pizzas I have seen at parties was either picked up by the party goers or conveyed by a delivery man. Whether it’s a Scout meeting, a drunken frat orgy, or a wedding, it’s all the same—some pimply faced teenager dropping off boxes at the door.
So I don’t really see what the big deal unless they are being asked to be a part of the ceremony. Just sell the pizzas and don’t ask what they are buying it for.
I don’t want to participate in a gay wedding, but I also wouldn’t. Want to interrogate customers about what they are going to do with the stuff I sell them. If I sell flowers to a man, should I ask him if he has honorable intentions, and make sure he isn’t going to use them to seduce a woman into bed that he isn’t married to?
Of course I know in most high profile cases the gays are cramming it down the business’s throat. Nut I just don’t see pizza delivery men as being involved enough in any event to make this worth sticking their necks out over.
Well, that’s interesting. They dropped the funding amount down from $50,000 to $25,000 now. That was done just in the last 15 minutes!
Perhaps they figure they don’t need as much money.
Are you talking about the has been actor whose only claim to fame is that he played a minor character on Star Trek, a character just one step above the expendable red-shirts? He was really only memorable for the one episode where he got to swish a sword.
Not hard to figure out.... A friend of mine owns an event venue and it's very common when writing up the contract to have the bride & groom's names. If it's Steve & John or Jane & Betty you can be sure it's not a normal marriage.
Pick out a suitable LGBT-owned business, post on Facebook that although the business owners respect the LGBT crowd and value their patronage, because of the religious beliefs of the owners they will not serve them for selected special occasions. Then stand back.
Liberal activists targeted and destroyed a conservative family and their business in a matter of hours.
The Conservative response will be to write some columns. If you're a Conservative in America today and are targeted by Liberals activists, then you're absolutely screwed. You're finished. Nobody will come to help you. Liberals can destroy any of us, on a whim, at will, and there is no organized Conservative effort to counter it.
The Commie gay left knows that this is the time to do everything possible to destroy Christianity and the meaning of marriage..they know they have no greater opportunity than now(With the media being in their pocket) to do every kind of disgusting, evil action to ensure that marriage and religion is destroyed one way or another
That’s not a very good “word picture” of the situation ... LOL ...
When presented with a word picture like that, one would think then women “are born” with with a penis in them! That’s not a “defining situation” for women when they are born ... :-) ...
Naivete like yours is why we lose.
Someone is... not sure who. That Gofund me page was set up by some dude named Lawrence Billy James III (a son of Obama).
Not knowing much about gofundme, how can they be sure that the money will go to the pizza parlor owners?
LOL ... it’s an Obama relative who is making off with that money?!
Homosexual Brownshirts on Parade.
And we won't even ask you to cater a traditional wedding, baby showers or birthday parties...
Or would you sue us FOR NOT SUPPORTING YOUR BUSINESS?
