Pizza shop survives threats, re-opens today in Indiana

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.

“Don’t forget the police. :-)”

You know I’m going to refrain from saying this is a pizza/Italian place and not a donut shop. :)

Guarantee some leftist gays, maybe not even real gays, just pretend queers will be going into that Pizza shop with Lawyers at the ready to order up some pizza for a pretend wedding. 800K will bring out a lot of scumbags.

I googled to get a story on what the O’Connor’s plan to do with the funds, and could only find one very scornful article on some New Civil Rights website. Finally it dawned on me — Google is censoring this! I went to Bing and found a Washington Times article, Western Journalism article and several others. Lesson learned: if I am googling something the left hates, don’t use Google.

I think it needs to go viral. We ought to print up thousands of stickers such as this and put them on Apple's stores, and Walmarts and such.

There needs to be public awareness made of this corporate support for these HomoNazis. Any business that buys into the *LIE* that refusing to serve mentally defective homosexuals is the same thing as prejudice against blacks, needs to be put out of business.

They may be opening, but that may not be the end of the threats.

I’m sure this will be all over the MSM.....You know, they would want to show the small business owner triumphing over adversity unfairly cast upon him. Wouldn’t they?

I'm sure the MSM will cover the pizza shop's opening.

Gay-Hating pizza shop reopens in Indiana, film at 11:00.

So... “Homosexual Activists” is another word for “Terrorists”

That’s the conclusion everyone should draw from this

Its no longer “Please accept us”, its now “”Accept us OR ELSE”

"Gay-Hating pizza shop reopens in Indiana, film at 11:00. "

"And now we bring you a report live from the scene from our report, Susan?"

"Thank you, Bob, We are LIVE at the scene of the gay hating pizzeria where we are awaiting protesters to show up to burn the place down.. Anyone at all... We'll just be here waiting... Let's go people, we got a broadcast to fill..."

And their tax on this is important to you, for what reason?

Would think they’ll get a deduct for donating it onward.

I think its great they decided to pass it all onto others.

To charitable organizations, yes. If they give to the florist then might they have to pay gift tax on that?
