An Indiana pizzeria remained closed on Wednesday, embroiled in a national debate after its owners said that they would not cater gay marriages due to their religious beliefs.

I don't claim to be an expert on this, but how many gay weddings are followed up by pizza parties? :roll:

My guess is that these people are declining to serve people who would never be their customers.

A name like O’Connor? Owner of a Pizzeria?

They deserve to close.

What? Do you think that gay's don't like pizza or something? Yeah, you are definitely not an expert. So why say something so lacking in knowledge?

Personally I'm all for gays having a pizza party on their wedding day. To any business that wants to cater it. But I don't believe in forcing anyone to serve anyone else either. This is not the 1200's. We don't live a serf life.

Maybe those calling for tolerance should be more tolerant themselves of others' viewpoints.

Not a damn thing about gays at all.

I have never heard of anybody having a wedding catered with pizza.

The words 'pizza' and 'catering' are mutually exclusive.

It was a pathetic attempt by moronic pizza shop owners to pander to Christians to increase their business, which blew up in their face.

I'll bet that they even set up their own GoFundMe page, or had a friend do it.

Lying, hypocritical morons.

Morons.

So just because you've never heard of it then it never happens right? :roll:

Oh wait...I think I know. You're perfectly fine with discrimination against those that you disagree with and forcing them to go against their beliefs in order to assert your own discriminatory beliefs.

Very true. It is a double edged sword. Unfortunately many believe that it isn't so ignore it when it comes to their own viewpoints.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

The owner of this pizzeria even said they never catered a wedding. Pizza at weddings is few and far between. A pizzeria saying they won't cater gay weddings is like a McDonald's saying they won't cater a vegetarian's graduation party. So my guess is this was a publicity stunt. When they open back up they'll get a big boast in business from the anti-gay marriage crowd, like Chick-fil-A got a big boost in business after their controversy. There's no such thing as bad publicity. Also these pizzeria owners got donations pouring in?

All in all they're not doing bad.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

Just because someone runs a pizza shop doesn't mean their catering business doesn't offer other selections. Libs make the lamest arguments.

Combat discrimination, with discrimination! :roll:
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

If you make and sell pizzas, make the damn pizza regardless of who it is. If they want you to deliver to a dangerous neighborhood, then maybe you have a case. What happened to common sense? For some, a prostitute that won't do Asian men is a racist.

The OWNERS said the NEVER catered a wedding. They said it. No politics or lameness involved.

O’Connor said he’s never been asked to cater a wedding,

These small town hicks are being belligerent assholes

Yes, I know that is what he meant. Obviously I showed that to be wrong in Post #6. Was going to do that in my first post there but wanted to lead him into outright saying it. Which is what he did in post #5. ;)

this is a town of 2000. There are neither openly gay people there nor has this ****ty pizza joint ever done weddings. If they tried they would just give everyone diarrhea

Here's something else about small town businesses you might not know. They close down on a regular basis for days/weeks, without any warning. They do whatever the hell they want, because it's just side income

They are throwing fits about "safety" remaining open, as if it's safe being gay in a town like that and the entire county doesn't agree with the bigot owners, and you are falling for it

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

So it's OK to discriminate...as long as you're the one discriminating. Gotcha!

it's a boycott over discriminatory treatment of a minority group. False equivalence if there was

I'm sure you'd keep going to a pizza place that had "no blacks" sign on the front window, i mean get real

The only thing lacking here are your baseless and uneducated assumptions about what I believe.

Spare me your hyperbolic comments.

Stick to spewing your garbage about what you think you know, not want you want to believe.

Try Googling that instead.

It's way too small a town for any business there to cater weddings with regularity, much less gay weddings. I bet there's not a single openly gay couple there even

Nothing like bigots taking advantage of the stupidity of other bigots

Don't misinterpret. In the link the owners are quoted as saying that all are welcome but that they won't cater weddings.

So you wouldn't say the same exact things if that pizzeria were in say....New York? Come now, we both know darn well that you would be saying the same thing. Whether or not this pizzeria actually does do weddings or not, or what size the town is doesn't matter in the slightest to you. So you can stop trying to make this about this one single company in order to backtrack.

Boycotting them is your right. But that is not what you have done in this thread. All you've done in this thread is promote discrimination against people that don't share your beliefs.

As for the sign bit, nope I wouldn't. That is what boycotting is. Not giving my service to someone. Complete opposite of what you're doing.

This situation brings to mind one of Publilius Syrus' Maxims from the first century B.C.: "I have often regretted my speech, never my silence." There was no compelling need whatsoever for the pizzeria's owner to inject herself into a civil rights matter in the fashion she did, much less over an extremely low probability scenario. Now, at least for the time being, the pizzeria is closed, the reputation of its owner is damaged, and it has perhaps lost a number of customers regardless of whether it reopens.

So when shown that you were wrong you resort to an ad hom instead of admitting that you were wrong. Gotcha. ;)

Have a Great Day!
