A pizza parlour that said it will use Indiana's heavily-criticized new religious freedom law to deny services to same-sex couples provoked a massive backlash across the Internet on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Indiana's Republican governor Mike Pence responded Tuesday to national outrage over the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, by saying he'll "fix" the bill to ensure businesses cannot use the law to deny services to the LGBTQ community.
But, not before Memories Pizza in Walkerton, Indiana, chimed in.
"If a gay couple came in and wanted us to provide pizzas for their wedding, we would have to say no," owner Crystal O'Connor told ABC 57 News on Tuesday.
"We are a Christian establishment," she said of the family business. "We're not discriminating against anyone, that's just our belief and anyone has the right to believe in anything."
The O'Connors didn't stop there.
"That lifestyle is something they choose. I choose to be heterosexual. They choose to be homosexual," said Kevin O'Connor, Crystal's father.
The reaction on the web was quick and almost universally negative.
Before their story made the news Tuesday night, the O'Connors' restaurant had two reviews on Yelp. By Wednesday afternoon, it had 1,400 and counting – almost 35 pages worth.
"Pizza is universal and you have disgraced its glorious name with your bigotry," one of them read.
"I'm ANGRY and will never order pizza from these people again because they're simply not discriminatory enough! I mean, just 'gays'? What about anyone who works on Sundays?" joked another.
The hits just kept coming.
But, others supported the owners for standing up for their rights and their religious views. About three pages of the more than 30 pages of reviews supported the stance.
Not to mention the obvious question, do a lot of people serve pizza at their wedding?
The response on Google reviews was much the same.
Someone also registered memoriespizza.com, which the owner's of the establishment had not done yet, and filled it with some graphic, and phallic, visual criticism.
The restaurant's Facebook page has been hit with a similar barrage of graphic imagery and angry comments.
The Internet backlash comes after many companies and entertainers vowed to boycott Indiana as a result of the new legislation. Now it seems businesses that attempt to make use of the law in Indiana may face boycotts of their own
Liberal thought police.
The Gaystapo are so charming, aren’t they?
14th Amendment, Section 1:All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Note that the “privileges or immunities” term which John Bingham, the main author of Section 1, used in that section is just another way to refer to constitutionally enumerated rights, most of these well-known rights, such as freedom of religious expression, listed in the Bill of Rights.
RE: As for me, I think a business or individual should have the right to choose not to interact with somebody, for any reason, and not be required to state a reason.
Well, that all went moot when the Civil Rights Act became law.
How is it thought provoking? It wouldn’t matter to gays if they made such a cake or not since a Bible verse means nothing to them.

Order a pizza from them and send to a church. Please pay up front.
Or write them to support them.
Homofascists in the gay newrooms appear to be okay with it.
Interesting because some of the key Nazis who thought up the intimidation and terror tactics used against the Jews were closeted homosexuals.
Because they probably have commerce codes that would prevent that. Obviously if two people are making out in a booth you can stop that, but the “right to refuse anyone for any reason” pretty much went out the door in the 1960s.
Yes. And it only protects them in a civil case.
So, if you are denying someone a service, like the priest or the store owner the law will give you a defense in a civil case.
You still have to take it to trial and put it before a jury of your peers. My guess, if you are a priest, it never gets to a civil trial. If its because you don’t want them in your shop...I am not so sure a jury is going to go with you.
And then you are liable to damages and punitive measures.
So, I think it would have to be a pretty significant case for you to take to trial.
I find that sort of funny, actually. As you said, why on earth wouldn’t they own that web address?? Simply stupid! Now, they are paying the consequences. The fake website is full of people bashing them. Oh well. I looked them up and their pizza was rated so-so at best. When pizza is rated “so-so” in Indiana, it is probably considered pure, unadulterated crap anywhere else!
The concept that a business, any business anywhere, can refuse service to anyone is dead. It doesn’t matter if I, or anyone anywhere agrees with it or not. The sign ‘we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone’ means nothing.
Walkertown has a population of slightly more than 2,000 people. His business will be fine. It’s probably one of three eating establishments around. This will not hurt him a bit.
Typical media. Make a big deal of this only to find that it is a country bumpkin town
Yep.
So, one wonders why LBGT is making an issue out something they’ve already defeated...
Try Subway. They do a pretty good job.

Look for any gay people in the area to keep a low profile.
If I lived there I would be having pizza tonight!!!
I read the site was hacked since it probably never occurred to them it would be used like it has.
Very fashionable and chic.
