Indiana pizzeria closes after threats

[LibCampFireClub 635]

It's time for the folks who wrote the checks to the pizzeria, to emerge from the shadows and speak out against the evil rising and ignorant levels of intolerance. The lynch mobs want war. Let the weak back-boned and spineless Christians speak out against these openly evil and vitriolic attacks. Instead, they run and hide in fear. Time to stand up and speak out!

Indiana pizzeria owners get $400,000 in crowdfund support, say ‘we’re not leaving’

Had initially closed after threats over stance against catering a gay wedding

Note that the pizza restaurant lady preferred to not cater a gay wedding. Note to folks: Their a freaking pizza house, they never catered a single wedding for anyone. They serve pizza, and welcome one and all, whether they come from the UK, or come wrapped in a rainbow flag.

Instead of donating money to the pizza house, those who donated should buy tickets to travel to the city and restaurant in a show of support. That will give them the opportunity to be face to face with the misguided vitriol. Those who are threatening and demeaning, and trying to destroy the pizza family are pretty much the same "incapable of processing multi-syllable sentence" crowds who failed to process the reality of "hands up don't shoot", and prefer to suppress freedom, rather than show tolerance.

The law is, was, and continues to be a "shield" and not a "sword." It never provided the legal right to "discriminate" against anyone. The folks of that pizza house were always willing to welcome and serve any same sex couple or individual. However, the law provides and substantiates the same right of religious freedom Bill Clinton signed, which provides support for the right to opt out of taking part in same sex ceremonies and parties, and activities.

Once again the intolerant and angry left sits upon their stools of self righteousness to render misguided judgement. So, let the tolerant supporters of the US Constitution travel to the city to provide remedial cognitive processing classes to the lynch mobs, and instead of validating their ignorant position, cook pizza and spaghetti, and add gold stars to the charts of those who behave well. Classes can be provided daily, with time off for those who show positive progress in learning new methods of tolerance.

Great post! There are so many "Gruberites" out there willing to believe any lie fed to them that it is sometimes discouraging. The furor over the misrepresentation of the law(s) is amazing. Anyone doing a little basic research will find that it doesn't even work very well as a shield. From what I can find, it only gives someone objecting to something on religious grounds a day in court. That doesn't guarantee anything as experienced by the photographer in New Mexico refusing to work a same-sex wedding on religious grounds and subsequently being put out of business. I can only hope that the majority of people out there actually use their smart phones, tablets, laptops, etc. to actually do some research instead of marching lockstep to the tune the leftist media reports.

What these people don't understand is that you have to spread the hate equally, then there is no foul.

Exactly

I'll bet they are Republicans.

I'm not so sure Spooks, getting paid for doing nothing is kind of a muddy left ditch thing. Or so they say.

Spread the "love" around to the intolerant lib hands up don't shoot crowd to require each and every last one of them to operate spoons and ladles at local Christian church cookouts. They will be forbidden from speaking, or writing anything that is not nice when performing said ladle and spoon activities. Kissing grandmothers is optional, but encouraged.

Why are you accusing these fine American Taliban people of doing nothing? They put their bigotry on display. That's something, no?

[LibCampFireClub 635]

Intolerant libs are people too! Slap one on the other cheek today!

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Not tolerating bigotry does not make one intolerant!

Beggars can't be choosers, so anywhere is fine with me. Can I pay you with money from my 'gofundme' donation site? :rofl:

Where in Hawaii? We have an extra bedroom for you to crash in, but I have to charge you rent. Only person who gets to freeload around here is me!

People buy pizza for the food, not the politics of the shop owner. These people (and you apparently) don't seem to understand that the rights of the victim tend to trump those of the perpetrator.

These pizza jerks are free to have their views of gay people, they just aren't free to disadvantage gays because of them.

Who is the victim ? Perhaps you can post who the victim's name is . Just the city would do . What city do they live in .

[JohnR! 5,495]

The question is whether they will accept and use any this money. I have a feeling they will because money trumps god, prayer, chicken sacrifices and voodoo dolls any day of the week; twice on Sundays.

However, they should be very judicious and screen the list of donors carefully. If any of their donors should fall into the list of individuals with objectionable behavior, or if any one of the donors happen to be gay and they take the money, it could be argued in court that their refusing to serve certain individuals based on their religious beliefs is pure nonsense and just a shady way to discriminate. If they are going to walk the talk they should require each donor to disclose any and all traits objectionable to whatever interpretation of Christianity they subscribe to.

We can certainly count on that sooner than later some nincompoop will refuse service to a black person or a Christian, or a woman - based on religious beliefs naturally - and this whole thing will make it to the SCOTUS.

Almost to 500k.

It's a step in the right direction, but if they could only learn to put their bigotry on display here on VJ like so many here do, then they'd really be doing something.

Tolerance folks. It's still part of the English dictionary. Oh wait, there is new dictionary created by "intolerant libs" that omits it.
