Indiana Pizzeria Owners Say They’d Deny LGBT People Service

---

That’s not what they said. If LGBT people show up for a pizza, they’ll happily sell them one. But if they ask them to cater an LGBT event, they will refuse for religious reasons.

Makes sense to me. Restaurant service is a "public accomodation." Catering an event comes much closer to what I'd call a "personal service", which ought to be voluntary. Otherwise, it's a form of government-mandated servitude.

So...individually they're fine but in groups they're sacrilegious?

Yep. There's no media spin there...

Y'know, I've ordered pizzas for quite a few events (sometimes a large number of pizzas), and I've never once had a pizzeria ask about the nature of the event. It's always been something along the lines of:

"I'll take [X] number of pizzas, delivered at [location/time]"

"OK, that'll be [cost]" "Thanks"

This was a set-up.

When have you heard of a wedding where they had pizza catered in?
