IT BEGINS: Indiana Restaurant Reportedly Vows Not To Serve Gay Weddings

[initforme]

This is Good. Now people have a choice to go there or not according to their values. Perhaps it is time then for an amendment stating that if you are going to refuse business it is MANDATORY that you post it. If you are not going to serve someone(which I think is your right), then you should be FGORCED to have the decency to post it in your window This to me is fair to all parties involved. To disagree with this is idiotic and immoral and anti Christian.

On the one side, there is the commerce clause to the Constitution of the United States of America, upon which the public commerce laws are built.

Selling a pizza to someone in your pizza shop may be commerce, but it certainly isn't commerce among the several states.

You are unfamiliar with public commerce laws, eh?

I accept your ignorance, rookie.

I'm quite familiar with them. However, my point still stands. Selling a pizza in one's own shop is not commerce among the several states. It's commerce among two individuals.

Only an ignorant rube would hire a pizza parlor for a wedding. What a joke.

Btw how do they know those pizzas they deliver aren't going to something gay? We better make gay people wear some kind of identifier. Maybe a tattoo on their foreheads. It's only fair to the Christians after all. We don't want them accidentally committing sacrilege.

I almost wish I lived in Indiana (not quite). Order a pizza and great the delivery guy wearing nothing but funny glasses and a jock strap.

Gawd you are ignorant and not the least funny

You can try I guess. You might want to have a shield or something in case he does it and wants to pee all over you.

Nope. Wouldn't do that. They got "stand your ground" laws in Indiana too.

A family-owned pizza parlor is causing a media stir after reportedly becoming the first business to publicly vow to reject gay weddings in the wake of Indiana's controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

The owners of Memories Pizza in Walkerton said theirs is a "Christian establishment" and that they agree with Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, who has come under fire after signing the bill, which allows business owners to cite religious beliefs as a defense when sued by a private party, ABC 57 reported.

“That lifestyle is something they choose. I choose to be heterosexual," Kevin O'Connor told the news station. "They choose to be homosexual. Why should I be beat over the head to go along with something they choose?”

O'Connor's daughter Crystal said she didn't think that the bill was "targeting gays," adding, "It's supposed to help people that have a religious belief."

In a separate interview with The Daily Beast, O'Connor clarified that although he doesn't "have a problem with gay people," he does not condone same-sex marriage. Although he wouldn't cater to a same-sex wedding, he wouldn't turn anyone away from the shop itself.

“I mean, we don’t believe in murder. I also don’t believe in abortion,” he added.

It's sad to watch religious bigots expose themselves.

The OP does know that the law was first written from the request of a Native American tribe so they could use mushrooms in their religious practices?

the only thing the op knows: is what they swallow off leftwing hate sites and from their Masters in the Democrat party

Hmmmm, you really think so, Stephanie? Yeah, "let's roll!" with that one!

So, let me get this straight. You joined USMB in 2012, almost 3 years ago, and now you have posted twice, right here on this thread. No introduction thread, no nothing:

And out of this unbelievably socky atmosphere you have created, I am supposed to take you seriously.

Public commerce laws are not only for commerce between the states.

You are aware that we are a nation of laws, right? And that the rule of law is supposed to be respected by all, right?

Now, if you will excuse me, I need to go wash some socks. Who knows, YOU may be one of them!

This is a catastrophe. Everyone deserves a pizza catered wedding. It''s the American dream. When every little girl dreams of being bride when she grows up, her number one thought is the delicious pizza that they'll serve at her reception.

 

[Pop23]

They want publicity is what they want, in order to increase their business profit.

That's all it is.

Only, I bet that exactly the opposite will happen, even in small town America. This is not Mr. Christian Pizza-Place Man's 1952 America anymore.

See "Chick-Fil-A"

Predictable pushback to the narcissistic actions of the PC Police.

They can't just walk away from a bigot, they have to fucking push it, and now it's all worse.

Way to go, gang. We're even more divided than ever, somehow. You really have a gift.

What about medical "queers" from the local hospital? Would he refuse to serve them?

Are they getting married, or maybe just high on that religiously protected peyote?

Yes, the constitution is law. You cited the commerce clause of this law, which gives congress the power to regulate commerce among the states. Selling someone a pizza is commerce among individuals, not among states.

Good for them. Why should anyone be forced to take a job they dont want?

 

[PaintMyHouse]

Watching their Yelp page is truly funny. This is one day these guys will never forget.

 

[Skull Pilot]

The sign on the window should read

BIGOTS ONLY

So should any business you own or operate.

I don't deny anyone service.

Unlike you oh so holy rollers out there I don't judge anyone as unworthy of my service

 

[Skull Pilot]

I'm wondering why anyone would have a pizza parlor cater a wedding

To those hicks pizza is gourmet I guess

Nothing like a little class-ism to add to your religious bigotry.

Religious bigotry?

IDGAF what imaginary thing you people pray to and I would not deny any of you service at any of my establishments.
