Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed[W:1581]

Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

My wife spent $500 on her dress. Her family paid for the very small wedding. We didn't have pizza, but BBQ chicken is messier than pizza. And the stain from such is just as bad as that from the sauce of a pizza.

I am sure you can agree that is not the rule with women. Your wife is an exception.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

No one knows for sure if that's the way it happened. They could have easily and quietly 'tipped' off the media, or had someone they know tip off the media to get the ball rolling. But even if the didn't start it, once it got going with all this money rolling in they'd be nuts not to keep playing it.

They're afraid for their lives but then they go on the blaze and tell the world hey we're home 24/7 now, basically saying we're here, at home, come and get us. LOL Sounds fishy. But hey, good for them. If people want to give them money for something like this? Amen.

Love it ! The lefts resorting to Conspiracy theories because they just can't stand the fact that bigoted hateful intolerant LGBT activist were not successful in ruining these people's lives.

Love it ! Attacking this innocent family while you ignore the scum that threatened their lives and their business.

Its a fantastic stategy that will work wonders for a ideology thats already predisposed to profound ethical lapses.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

Much easier to defend oneself at home than at a open place of business. Duh.

Agreed. But if you are afraid for your safety you DON'T broadcast your where abouts, whether it's at home or at work!
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

? They said they felt threatened at work so they are staying home for their safety. People know their names. The town they live in has about 2000 people in it. If someone wants to they don't have to be Colombo to figure out where they live.

And now they know the town supports them and they have police investigating which makes it safer to open back up. I'm sure there are plenty of liberals proud of what they put these good folks through, even though liberalism failed this time

How do you KNOW this person who threatened them was a liberal? Lot's of conservatives nowadays are fine with gays. Over 60% of Republicans under 30 favor gay marriage. Do you have that little faith in conservatives that you believe every single con agrees with these people stance not to cater gay weddings?

Personally I don't care if whoever threatened them is con or lib. They should be jailed for making the threat. But it is weird how many conservatives here believe every single conservative agrees with these people's hatred and bigotry towards gays.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

So news crews don't go out looking for stories?

In 18 years in a similar sized town, there was never a single visit from the media. The timing of everything that followed is too suspect also
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

Have you tried to book a gay cruise?

Nope...have you ever at at this pizza joint?
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

Talk about playing this up for all the drama they can. Seriously. they are a small town pizza shop that has survived on the small population there for years. They aren't exactly on a major drag that relies on tourism for their business. The owner is smart. He is playing the right-wing for the fools that they are and is profiting off of them quite well.
He has probably made more off of this martyr card than he has done in business for the last 5 years.



Correct. It would take quite a while to make $200,000 clear profit in that small town.

We need to check and see how they're doing after the U.S. Supreme Court rules on gay marriage.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

well.. ya know.. umm.. this family is actually being persecuted... and,well, you support it... openly.

It's rather ironic that the people bemoaning 'tolerance' have become the most visible hate group in America.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

Are there such things in the U.S.? I know there are "gay" cruises, but have no idea if they actually REQUIRE a person to be gay to book a room on them. I'd doubt it. And ships are weird anyway - they're all flagged with foreign countries so I'm not sure what laws apply to them.

I started a search then thought better of it - no telling what kind of ads Google would direct my way.....



It's a club. They can do that. I doubt the Tea Party caucus allows liberals to attend their meetings.
Yep. People engage in all forms of discrimination. I think the group has talked about that in the past.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

The CBC is a political org, not a commercial one so it doesn't fall under the Commerce Clause. The only people who can make them accept white members is the majority in Congress, who set the rules for the Congress

So go blame the majority in Congress. Hmm, I wonder who has the majority in Congress :shrug:

Blame them? Nope...I celebrate it. Good for them. Just pointing out how regularly sanctioned discrimination occurs. Of course...it's always 'different'.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

I'm going to guess a Muslim shop wouldn't cater a gay wedding either. I'm going to keep guessing that that would be perfectly fine to people who are calling Memories Pizza hateful.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

This all started when a local news crew stopped by and interviewed them. Then it took off. There's no such thing as bad publicity. They wouldn't be the 1st business to tip off the media, and then say a few controversial things to get some publicity. I doubt that they thought all this with the blaze and this fund would happen, but they could have very easily started it for a little local publicity.

It's a possibility, I suppose... but there's been no evidence of such collusion.

it's a bit odd that so many lefties started bringing up this theory .. nearly in unison.
that's usually indicative of talking points being thrown out by some ideologically bent outlet.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

And ships are weird anyway - they're all flagged with foreign countries so I'm not sure what laws apply to them.

Once the ships is 12 miles off the coast of the US, US laws do not apply. The casinos open up. On some cruise lines 18 YO can drink. Etc.

So if they will serve gays, why do they need to be funded, and why are gullible cons giving them money?

Perhaps to send a clear message to the bitter angry hate filled intolerant gaystapo that they are tired of their bull****. Sort of like the Chik-Fil-A response.

Don't expect journalists or homosexual couples to set up a Muslim baker the way they've done with Christians

They're forted up at home and the right-wing evangelical money is pouring into GoFundMe for them. :roll:

I believe that I'll save my sympathy for others.

that's probably not a bad guess.... the haters around here traditionally hate on Christianity/Christians exclusively and are pretty tolerant of whatever Muslims do.

Yeah, liberals can't think for themselves. They're a dumb bunch. It's really difficult to figure out that a business, any business might look for a way to get little free publicity. :roll:

What emotional response do you hold for people that have threatened them?

There's this...

so you too support them being terrorized and bullied?... come on man... you're better than that.

Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

This is a perfect example of what is wrong with America.

Everyone seems to be focused on this stupid little pizzeria and it's apparently bigoted owner.

Yet there is a stagnating economy, U.S. troops all over the world (under orders to) try and desperately to tell everyone else what to do, one massive budget deficit after one massive budget deficit, a stock market propped up by a Fed that seems clueless, global warming (to whatever extent people wish to argue about it's existence), California running out of water, Congress completely deadlocked in partisan politics, Gitmo, 40+ million Americans on food stamps and on and on...and this stupid little story is what everyone chooses to focus on?

It's like passengers on the Titanic arguing about deckchair layouts while the ship is sinking.

Sad.

According to some cons here this Indiana/Pizzeria story is a conspiracy by the left to take the heat off of Obama about all the bad news out there. So mission accomplished. /sarcasm/
