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

Statistically, though (and depending on the region you live in, of course), if you're a white hetero Christian you've probably never encountered discrimination from a minority. Okay fine, yes, a lot of us might have encountered that one taco vendor who had a bug up his ass one day and refused to sell us a taco, but it's not an endemic problem for the majority.

Yeah, depending on the region I can see this. But the same applies in reverse also.

why you're defending the oppressor - you think as a white male you're the victim

Really??? You believe that???

So if they serve pizza to a woman who's had an abortion, then they've committed a sin? WOW.

Where did I say that I believed that? And btw, serving someone a pizza and catering a wedding reception are two different things.

So you seriously believe that a small town pizzeria lost so much by not catering the gay weddings that within a week they're out of business? Yeah, ok....you'll believe anything apparently.

You apparently have not read the thread. They shut down due to people threatening them with violence.

Plus that post did not respond to what you are saying here. It was a response to someone that refused to believe that pizza was sold at wedding receptions.

That's not how it works. To the left, tolerance is a 1-way street.

the religious right tolerates nothing, not even allowing people with terminal illness to die with dignity

Same reason to black guys cant find another bakery.

If being gay were visibly obvious, you'd see this sort of discrimination a lot more.

Yeah that's really the only reason the two civil rights movements aren't identical, although where they were visible (stonewall for instance) there was indeed police brutality, lost employment and housing, expulsion, hate crimes

I call bull**** on this. One day they announce they won't be serving teh gheys, the next they claim harassment and threats, and the day after that they rake in $200,000. Sorry to be the forum's cynic here.

To be honest, though, I'm probably just the littlest bit jealous I didn't think of this scam first.

They have reopened and have collected over 300K in donations from the wonderful silent majority.

God Bless them all.

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.

Any time there's a gay cruise/frat/bar/whatever, it's for the same purpose as anything else - gathering people with common interest who might not otherwise find each other. If there's a 2nd purpose it's because of the difficulty of integrating into similar groups in the broader society. Never is the intent to exclude friendly heterosexuals. In fact, the nearest "gay bar" is about 50% hetero on a typical night

First off, the sore owners stated clearly that they would serve homosexuals. Let's not tell untruths to push an agenda. Second, a high school coach has been suspended without pay for his tweet saying, “Who’s going to Walkerton with me to burn down Memories Pizza." Third, Dana Loesch from Glenn Beck's the Blaze interviewed Mr O'Connor on the telephone and he said he didn't know if he would be able to reopen the store. At that time Loesch announced that she was setting up the GoFundMe site to support him. Now, he not only will be able to reopen the restaurant, but he may be able to remodel since the donations have totaled more than $300,000, so far

The liberal gaystapo responded to Memories Pizza with vitriol and threats. Conservatives responded with cash. Perhaps the gaystapo will learn a lesson and next time they can raise cash to donate to a merchant to open a competitive pizza parlor in the same area

Well, do you think that if a region is pre-dominantly Chinese? You think those in a pre-dominate Chinese area feel discriminated against in that area?

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

There is no BS in it. A school coach was suspended over it. There are links about it through out this thread.

Wow. It was a joke. O'Connor. Irish name running an Italian Pizzeria? Get it? Maybe you can open you own fund raising site and buy a sense of humor.

What we see happening these days is that Christians tell homosexuals that they don't agree with their choices and don't care to participate or facilitate those choices.

In response, liberals say they don't agree with the Christians' choices and they work to bring harm to the Christians in the form of fines and threats and attempts to close the businesses down.

It's not hard to tell which of those positions is intolerant and bigoted?

They had to close because of threats.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

remember when the main liberal mantra for allowing gay marriage was "how would gay marriage effect you personally?" They figured that would shut up the morons who opposed it.

well I think I may have stumbled upon an answer to that question in Indiana. If you don't go along with gay marriage(or the business you own) you will be threatened with bodily harm and forced to close down.

anyone disagree? anyone? Beuller? Beuller?
