Not sure if it has been mentioned, but the pizzaria has received over eight hundred thousand dollars in donations: all under the guise of christian love which reasonable people understand is merely the licence given to them by their silly religious beliefs to act immorally as bigots. To top it all off they are literally thanking god for how much disgusting hatred they are supporting and spreading.

They just made them rich is all. They are going to have an influx of "supporters" that will travel once or twice to give them patronage. After the initial rush, they will be mostly empty. Business will probably build back up as people forget or are oblivious, but I doubt it will ever reach sustainable levels any more.
If they were smart, they'd sell now. Take the $800k-$1m they'll get out of the gofundme, and the sale price of the business, and make out like bandits before the business bleeds that charity money dry.

So I suppose that means that you would prefer that people lose their livelihoods for expressing unpopular opinions?

Not at all, Chad.
If people's unpopular opinions are hateful and discriminatory, they are subject to public dissent.
If I owned a business, guess what I am not going to do, ever? Tell anyone publicly that I am an atheist. People have the right to disagree with me and not patronize my place of business because they disagree. I wouldn't cry persecution if I were interviewed for any reason and said I think Christianity is a fairy tale, then people decided to slam my business because of it. That is absolutely my opinion, but in protecting my business I am always going to keep my personal opinions out of it for fear of alienating any customer base.

How about a KKK theme restaurant? Should that stay in business, Chad?
Why "True" Christians hate homosexuals so much is a mystery to me. There are many commands in the Bible they don't care about. I guess it's easy from them to hate other people's sins but not their own.

Well if you own a business and associate that business with unpopular opinions, you will have nobody to blame but yourself if you lose your livelihood.

So you put those who oppose same sex marriage in the same category as a terrorist organization?

They are also a Christian organization.
