After Indiana Pizzeria Said They Wouldn’t Cater Gay Weddings, the Backlash Was So Extreme

[C_Clayton_Jones]

This issue well represents the dishonesty and hypocrisy of most conservatives.

What has happened to the restaurant is exactly what conservatives hostile to public accommodations laws advocate: that a business with a policy of discrimination should be 'regulated' by 'private market forces,' not government compelling a business to accommodate a given class of persons. Such businesses, conservatives hostile to public accommodations laws tell us, will be 'put out of business' by the good people of the local community refusing to subsidize the business' racism or bigotry, or the business will change its policy to avoid going out of business.

Of course, this notion is ridiculous, naïve, and completely unfounded, but this has nonetheless always been the conservative response in opposition to public accommodations laws.

Now that this is indeed happening to Memories Pizza, what conservatives have always argued for, they cry foul.

O’Connor recently told WBND-TV, “If a gay couple came in and wanted us to provide pizzas for their wedding, we would have to say no.”

I worked in a pizza restaurant for 5 years in college. We never once asked the customer what they were using the pizza for. For some stupid reason, the manager and the owner both seemed more concerned with just taking the money of any willing customer than with trying to advance his religious beliefs. I guess they hated Jesus. They will probably burn in Hell, no telling how many gays bought pizza.

I've also ordered pizza from many different establishments over my 20+ years of adulthood - and not once did any of them ask me what the pizza was for.

They closed because of lack of business ?

Its not happening to Memories Pizza.

The righties were wrong. They told us the free market would punish bigotry. It rewards it. They lied.

I brought a bunch of pies to a church with a lot of people there on several occasions. I don't know if they were having a wedding or not, I didn't give a shit one way or another. For some stupid reason the manager didn't ask me to find out what they were all doing there. He seemed to have been motivated by profit. No doubt burning in Hell now.

I did on many occasions bring pizzas to people who were obviously intoxicated, abusing the body their Lord gave them. The manager - being the Anti-Christ - seemed fine with supporting their drunken sinful behaviour with as much pizza as the heathens could pay for. It was really quite sickening that I was working for a company - Papa John's - that supports unchristian drunken behavior. Ultimately that is why I quit.

This laws needs to be challenged and taken to SCOTUS. It violates 1st Amendment religious freedoms. This issue is not going away.

Don't bother. They ruled on this kind of thing, 60 years ago.

Totally different. Democrats didn't write Jim Crow laws because of religion. Your party members hated blacks for their color. Still do, btw, but you tolerate them for their vote.

Learn why Heart of Atlanta Motel matters.

I have no idea about that motel. Democrats still implemented Jim Crow laws and founded the KKK.

Great. If any Democrats from 1950 come up for election I'll make sure not to vote for them. Thanks for that information.

When you misrepresent things, you come off as a fool. We're not low information voters here.

You voted for one of their sons, I bet. Al Gore? Like father like son.

Would you feel the same it were a NAMBLA meeting?

He's a libturd, so he probably does.

Stupid people always equate pedophiles to be the same thing as consenting gay couples. It's proof positive that they are lacking something upstairs.

I equate paedophiles to be liberal Democrats, which they most certainly are.

Yes politics determines if you are a pedophile. You're about as bright as a burnt out light bulb.

What's the distinction between a pedophile and one who openly promotes the normalization of the disease that promotes pedophilia?

Now, the contributor to which you responded spoke to the Democrat Party, but in truth the Democrat Party represents the Ideological Left. And the Ideological Left represents the Normalization of the Mental Disorder that presents as Sexual Abnormality and Pedophilia is a presentation of that mental disorder.

So, in truth, politics IS intertwined in the pursuit of the legalization pedophilia. You see, the same reasoning which irrationally concludes that homosexuality is not deviancy, also concludes that 'some children may actually benefit from a loving sexual relationship with a caring adult'.

No, being gay does not lead to pedophilia. What kind of moron are you?

I hope that the pizza place goes broke and the people who are against homosexuals have to end up working for them.

Bigotry and discrimination have no place in the land of the free.

Why can't we allow people to be free to be who they are?

Sorry.........but you can't catch gay. You're either born that way or not.

According to conservatives, if your RELIGION believes in arranged marriages and child brides,

the Constitution demands that we accept that as legal.

Most conservatives around here anyway, and that's probably representative of conservatism in general,

believe that a business should be able to refuse service to anyone for any reason.

And yes, that includes racial minorities. They piss and moan and protest that being anti-gay is in no way comparable to being racist,

but the fact is that most of them want the right to discriminate by race as much as by sexual orientation.

Dunno where you get your information but,

"the ratio of heterosexual to homosexual pedophiles was calculated to be approximately 11:1."

According to an update I just received from gofundme, Memories Pizza has received $842,387 from 29,160 contributors in a period of 2 days.

That's awesome. Sometimes it does pay to be stupid.
