Only goes to show that conservatives really ARE generous givers, unlike the tight-fisted Left.

The “marketing” techniques used by the LGBT are hardly effective. “angry”, “put your money where your mouth is”, “trolling”.

What is the other fund for?

Burning down Christian-owned businesses?

Obviously the glbt’s will need to see the names of those who donated to the pizza place so that they can be called out for the homophobes that they are. After all, it’s only fair. Right?

200 to 1, that’s about right, Christians vs queers.

Yet the Freepathon has only raised less than $4k. We need to put our money where are words are.

That is a good guess.

Sounds like someone is trying to get some easy money. “Help” homosexual youth? What the hell does that mean?

It will be interesting to see the over-time curves of the fundraising, where the 3-day head start for Memories is compared to the day-by-day totals of the counter culture fund.

This disparity in crowdsourced funding shows that there is a gigantic backlash building against small minority and their enablers in the MSM. It may be turning into a repeat of what happened to Chick-Fil-A.
