Story About First Business to ‘Publicly Vow to Reject Gay Weddings’ Was Fabricated Out of Nothing
PJ Media ^ | April 1, 2015 - 4:03 pm | Scott Ott

The Huffington Post headline screams:

Indiana’s Memories Pizza Reportedly Becomes First Business To Reject Catering Gay Weddings

Memories Pizza is a nine-year-old shop in downtown Walkerton, Indiana, just a few blocks from John Glenn High School. It’s owned by an openly-Christian couple, the O’Connors, who decorate their shop with mementos of their faith in Christ. So how does a small business in a small town wind up making headlines around the world as the new avatar of Christian bigotry?

Homosexual movement terrorism on display.

Their final goal is world domination.

They will run into a brick wall with muzzies. How sad that the enemy of my enemy is still my enemy.

The Quakers fled Europe because of this kind of religious persecution.

It was a hypothetical question that the news reporter was asking that woman at the pizza shop, the pizza shop as far as I know don’t even have a catering service.

This is what the media and their Dems do, though they are the same people.
They lie and when the truth comes out the left states lets move on as they have got their way now.

This family should sue this network and then give the proceeds tot he Family research council and see how the homostapo likes that

You fools in the "who serves pizza at a wedding" camp are completely missing the point. Here are the main points:

1. Yet another naive Conservative fell into a liberal media trap.

2. The Left took a contrived story and destroyed a family and a business in less than 24 hours.

3. If you're an everyday American and are targeted for destruction by the Left, nobody in the Conservative movement is coming to your aid.

Thanks for posting this. Good article.

The business is still getting trashed on Yelp. There are some sick people out there.

And if you do.... you gotta articulate your position and hold that ground.

If this doesn’t make blood shoot out of your eyes, I don’t know what will. This is one of the most despicable things I have read about concerning this issue. I hope good people will flood Indiana with their business, support and their own Tweets and FB conversations. You cannot afford to remain silent in the face of this dictatorship-like behavior. These people did nothing to become victims of Saul Alinsky and his followers, but they were. Better start wising up, America!

Of course it was staged. There had to be a big and noisy “controversy” generated in order to push lawmakers into capitulating.

The pizza place is a target of the phony controversy, business/travel “bans” to Indiana are another tactic to puff up the fake controversy. The whole thing is fake.

Thank you for the Alinsky Rules..Everyone should memorize them for they are the Commandments of the religion practiced by the left. Harry Reid is a great example of an unrepentant liar who practiced this religion on the Senate Floor. That is a big news item today.

Supposedly, a reporter went into that particular pizza place which she claimed she found at random on google, and asked the daughter of the owner if they would sell pizzas to a gay couple if they wanted them to cater their wedding. The daughter said no. And then all hell broke loose.

Sounds like a set-up to me.

The owner was asked on Glenn Beck about the Christian stuff decorating their store, and he said, "We have an old piano that my daughter decorated for Easter."

Agreed, it is time for people to speak up to their neighbors, friends, family , at work, that goes for the leadership and the Church leaders.

Why are not the church leaders getting with the Jews, Hindu’s muslims, etc. Have them out protesting and what message that would send

I agree. My only reply would have been, “no comment.”

They want to intimidate the American people so that no one will dissent from the state religion. Instead of being burned at the stake by the Inquisition, your career or your business will be destroyed if you dissent from the officially endorsed doctrines.

This may also be advance work for the 2016 elections--just like Stefanopoulos injected the birth control issue out of nowhere in the debates, which then because the key "issue" in the supposed "War on Women," this is laying the groundwork for next year. They win either way--either persuading low information voters that Republicans are Neanderthals, or dispiriting the Republican base as the GOP leadership caves in to their agenda.

I hope that they actually raise a decent amount of money. They deserve it. I’m go over to the site a little later and give a donation myself.

As for the reporters, they are total scum bags! They knew exactly what they were going to do to these people. As Christ said, they will get their reward for it!
