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

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

Yeah, $427,000 and counting. I'm sure they are very sorry they expressed their religious beliefs. ;)
It's gotten so high that The Blaze is going to provide the family with a financial planner
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

You really don't think a gay kid in that town fears for his life every day? Some twitter threat from over 100 miles away scared these discriminators ****less. Once again, i have no sympathy for bigots

Is there anything you won't excuse?
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

The business was brick and mortar. The interior looked modern from the pictures I saw. In addition, the pizzeria had been in business for ten years.

Yer makin' stuff up.

Hate warps the mind.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

Lol. Apparently America is going backwards. Suppose we just outlaw the entire LGBT community.

You meant Christians, right?
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

Huh. How about that. So nothing has happened. I wonder if Muslim restaurant would cater a SSM.

I would love to see a same sex couple ask one then publicize it when they didn't.

I wonder if the reaction would be the same, I mean try to put them out of business or burn them down.

They wouldn't do that to Muslim establishments because it's Christians that are the #1 target in America on this issue. Plus... they might be afraid of getting their heads chopped off...

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

Blame them? Nope...I celebrate it. Good for them. Just pointing out how regularly sanctioned discrimination occurs. Of course...it's always 'different'.


"regularly sanctioned discrimination"??? You say that as if it's A Bad Thing.

"regularly sanctioned discrimination" happens all the time. Today, I discriminated against chocolate ice by buying some strawberry ice cream. Sorry, chocolate!!

But those sorts of choices do not harm commerce. The type of discrimination these christian bigots want to practice does.

Again, it's not about selling pizzas.... it's about catering (and therefore, participating) in the wedding. Why should anyone be forced to participate in an event?

If catering is participating in the event, then the florist who delivered flowers to my GF participated in the one heck of a blowjob she gave me later that night.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

I understand their take on the matter, but it's not a decision I would choose if I were them.

I support freedom of religion -- if you're uncomfortable with it, if it's morally wrong to you - don't do it. And no one should be able to force you to violate your beliefs through threats OR laws.

They are free to practice their religion

Not selling a pizza is not a religious practice

Though an argument could be made that bigotry is
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

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

I am sure you can agree that is not the rule with women. Your wife is an exception.

47% of the people in the US are too poor to pay taxes. Roughly half that is women. You really think they're going to spend thousands of dollars being poor?
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

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

:shrug: I do live in a similar sized town. I've seen news crews here several times. :shrug:
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

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

That's been my experience, and I've had a good time at gay bars and gay street parties, never the slightest problem or any feeling I wasn't welcome - usually with my wife.

I don't think that you know the difference between delivering a product and catering an event....

Not catering a wedding in no way hurts commerce.

With 30 years experience in the food services industry, I'm pretty sure I do.

But feel free to explain whatever it is you think I don'tk know.

selling food is not participating.

What exactly did you do in the food industry? Cooking at a restaurant is not the same as catering so.....
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

C'mon Kal. You're smarter than that

This law isn't limited to pizzarias and I've already explained how such discrimination can affect commerce.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

I did everything but cook.

Caterers don't do anything of religious significance nor anything that is significantly different than serving someone at a restaurant.

But I'll repeat that you're free to explain the religious significance of catering, complete with biblical quotations.
Catering is about more than just selling food.


So is running a restaurant, or a pizzaria
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

This law isn't limited to pizzarias and I've already explained how such discrimination can affect commerce.

And I've explained how discriminating against letting a business discriminate can also affect commerce. Its a 6 to 1 and half a dozen to the other type situation.
