Indiana Pizzeria Won't Serve Gay Couples

I don't know if what they are doing is actually illegal, but it sure is a terrible business decision.

I think they've figured that out now.

How would the pizzeria know the sexual orientation of those they serve unless the gays announced themselves as such?

"If a gay couple came in and wanted us to provide pizzas for their wedding, we would have to say no," Memories Pizza owner Crystal O'Connor told ABC 57. "We are a Christian establishment."

I don't know who would want pizza for their wedding (besides me, obviously) but that's the reasoning.

"What can I get you sir?"

"I'll have a medium pizza with extra pineapple. Oh, and I'm gay."

"Get out."

See, I was thinking they'd have, like, trap toppings you could order, that all look suspiciously like an erect human phallus, and if a man ordered any of those, he'd be ejected from the premises and prayed for.

I wish you had say "ejaculated from the premises."

Yeah, that would get them. Or just ask customers directly. I'm sure God considers a lack of pizza fair judgement for him creating them gay.

Or maybe... keep your nose out of what other people do in the privacy of their bedroom, you ignorant pricks. We don't need to live by your deluded rules.

One does wonder whether divorced folks, people of other religions and so on, will be subject to the same treatment. I mean, they're sinners in exactly the same category as gays are, in god's estimation, but somehow I think only the cherry picked bigotry of the hour will be enforced, here.

[robvalue]

I wonder out of all the "we hate gay" christians there are, how many have actually read their bible and found out exactly what it says about homosexuality? And like you say, whether they've read any of it at all, and considered why only some parts of it are being enforced? The bible really has very little to say about it, considering the fuss that is made. It says far more about other subjects which are completely ignored.

Also, a guy got stoned to death for picking up sticks on a Sunday. That was god's judgement. Why aren't christians pushing that agenda?

Now for the salt in their wounds:

Indiana lawmakers on Thursday announced changes they plan to make to the state's new religious-objections law aimed at quelling widespread criticism from businesses and others who have called the proposal anti-gay.

The revisions, which still require approval from the full Legislature and Republican Gov. Mike Pence, come as lawmakers in Arkansas scramble to revise that state's own religious-objections legislation amid cries that it could permit discrimination.

The Indiana amendment prohibits service providers from using the law as a legal defense for refusing to provide services, goods, facilities or accommodations. It also bars discrimination based on race, color, religion, ancestry, age, national origin, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or U.S. military service.

They destroyed their own business and made themselves laughingstocks -- and all for nothing.  I doubt crow pizza is any good, but they'll get a good long taste of it.  Well, fuck 'em.  All they had to do was be decent (or at least keep their indecency to themselves).  But no . . .
