The pizza shop in Walkerton, Ind. a small town of about 2,200 people about 20 miles south of South Bend doesnt look like the epicenter of a national controversy.

I donated because the media parsed what really happened.
Not up on the latest fads or crazes but, is pizza at wedding receptions a gay thing? Maybe a hipster thing? Just curious. Never heard of anybody having a catered pizza wedding reception...

Is this the shot heard round the world?
Nobody, and especially not a gay couple, would seriously serve pizza at their wedding. This was just trolling for a lawsuit.
Think youll get served a drink?
Yeah, but with sputum swimming on top.
In a gay bar, in won’t be sputum swimming on top.
If a religious Muslim Halal butcher named Mohammed refuses to slaughter Billy Bob’s pig named Jehosephat, should the Government have the power to permanently shut down Mohammed’s Halal Butchery without giving him an opportunity to defend his position in court?

Some gays are real slobs. They aren’t all the same. But serving pizza at any wedding would be unusual.
