A pizza shop owner in Indiana, who became the center of controversy in recent days, is going back to work today.
Memories Pizza in Walkerton closed down temporarily, and its owners went into hiding, after homosexual activists targeted owner Kevin O'Conner and his daughter, Crystal.
What crime did they commit? Crystal answered a question – truthfully – from a TV news reporter (see video below), telling her that Memories would serve homosexuals but would never cater a same-sex wedding.
"Because of what we believe," Crystal told The Daily Mail, "we cannot condone a wedding. But anyone is welcome into this shop, and we will serve anyone, but we will not participate any way in a gay wedding."
It was just a hypothetical question – and who has pizza catered at a wedding reception?
But the firestorm began, and the family shut down and hid from the public amid threats.

I see they're donating the gofundme donations to charities and to the florist in Washington State who was targeted by the Gaystapo.
I see that the word “activist” is being used as a euphemism for “terrorist” again.
I would exercising my 2nd Amendment rights along with my 1st Amendment rights if this is my business.
They should have had their sodomite pizza wedding at “The Original Famous Gays”
.
They’ve got more than 800,000 reasons to re-open. This country isn’t dead yet.
I am interested in knowing:
What the owners are going to do with the $840,000 raised on their behalf.
How much they pay on State and Federal taxes from that fund.
Don’t recall the establishmedia calling Tea Partiers activists??
Pray America is waking
Too bad for the libs and Queerstopo, this is turning out a whole lot like Chic-fila.
All this nobama and oddies crap is about to push the button of the good upstanding American people, just like the Japs did at Pearl Harbor.
See Post 1 and this time actually read it.

Thanks, what about taxes on it?
I’m sure their accountant will take care of the tax dilemma; it’s not like their Al Sharpton :-)
WALKERTON, Ind. -— Indiana’s first business to go on-record to say they would not cater a gay wedding, will remain closed again Wednesday.
Memories Pizza was rumored to reopen Wednesday, after shutting its doors on April 1, but will remain closed for at least another day.
When contacted about rumors of the shop opening Wednesday, Kevin O’Connor responded with, “No.”
Tuesday, O’Connor said the shop would reopen but they did not have a set date yet.

I think I’ll order and buy dinner for the local fire department. Seems supporting this business is having a very positive effect.
You don’t pay taxes on gifts.
If a single individual gifts in excess of $14,000 then the donor is responsible for the tax.
Wish I could order a pizza...
What a nice gesture :-)
Hopefully the Fire Dept. hasn’t gone all PC and refuses the pizza.
Kind of how “teen” is being used in place of “thug”.
You’re a nice guy!
Don’t forget the police. :-)
