INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The state of Indiana is watching dueling GoFundMe campaigns after the firestorm of RFRA.
One was established for Memories Pizza and the other for LGBT youth in Indiana.
Memories Pizza is the Indiana pizza shop whose owners said their religious beliefs wouldn’t allow them to cater a gay wedding.
Their GoFundMe site, benefiting the restaurant had raised more than $550,000 as of Friday morning.
The Indiana Youth Group had a campaign established to raise funds that is in direct response to the Memories Pizza campaign.
As of Friday morning, they had raised $2,700.
Their GoFundMe site states that “Take a minute after you’re done trolling Memories on Yelp and being angry about it on Facebook and Twitter and put $1 where your mouth is and do something positive that will have a direct impact on LGBT youth in the state of Indiana.”
It's also interesting to note that promoting homosexuality as normal was/is one the original 45 goals of Communism.
#26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”
Note the others on the list especially those concerning family, religion, and schools.
Assuming others give like me, one can only think how many are actually giving.
More than 26,000 donars and now at $782,000
About $30 per donar average.
Unbelievable!!!!!!!!
“Only goes to show that conservatives really ARE generous givers, unlike the tight-fisted Left.”
When the cause is just.
Unlike the libs, who billionaire actresses try to force common working people to give what little they have. What irony!
Strangely enough they not only had my idea but my name too!
There is a bit more of a story to go with that....
I had just this afternoon been given admin privileges at the Support Memories Pizza FB page. I had been posting articles and comments quite a bit. The owner was looking for an admin, I have experience as admin on another page dealing with racism so I put my name forward and was accepted.
Everything went fine for a few hours until the owner posted an article about Memories reopening with the comment attached....
“Yall close enough flood them with support and business! I can guarantee the homosexual deviants will be out in force with their hatred.”
Some folks expressed uneasiness with that language. They support Memories but were uncomfortable and going to leave because they felt it was unduly aggressive and spiteful, particularly when we have many homosexuals supporting Memories.
I messaged a couple of them and expressed my understanding of their issue but I felt a little leery of editing the owners post. I came to the conclusion that for the good of the page, which was my primary concern it would be best to change the post to...
“Yall close enough flood them with support and business! I can guarantee the militant homosexuals and their supporters will be out in force with their hatred.”
I added a little post explaining that while followers of a page can be a bit looser with their rhetoric, an admin sets the tone and is responsible for maintaining the reputation of the page. Apologized for the exuberance that sometimes leads to posting first-thinking later and called for all of us to unite in support of Memories and Freedom. Got a good number of likes for that...
A short while later I get notification on my phone of a post by the owner....
“Just stripped u of yer admin privileges”
well I’m thinking it’s becasue I edited his post, so I replied...
“I did what I did because I care about the page...I’m sorry if it hurt your feelings but for the good of the page it needed to be done. As far as anyone knows I corrected my own post. Give it some thought and if you change your mind you know where I am”
Fine...so a little while later I go on the computer and realize he posted that comment to the gay youths group page... Which led me to post him....
“LOL...I thought it was because I edited your post...but now i see it’s because you have butthurt over my $5 donation to that group. You’ve never heard of jujitsu, eh? LOL....don’t be a dickhead...if you want to propagate the notion we’re a bunch of haters, go ahead. I want people to support Memories not be repulsed by us because they think we are haters, we’re not haters... right? You want to attract flies to your side you use sugar not old sour vinegar.”
So then I go on to the main page to find not only have my admin privileges been stripped but I’ve been booted from the group. He has posted this..
“I did not edit the original remark. An admin I had picked did and I stand by my original statement. He has been banned for donating AND promoting an openly homosexual youth group who is ALSO competing against memories pizza trying to outdo them when it comes to raising money..silly...”
So that’s how I wasted my afternoon, lol
One finally kicker... he never changed my edit back to his original wording.
$835,549 of $200k
Raised by 28,885 people in 2 days
Oh WOW! that’s wild!! - these people are truly unhinged.
Good for you!
Yes, I only give 100 per quarter. I’d give more but the BOSS thinks I’m giving too much now!
Thank you for being so generous!
