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

Crystal O’Connor, the co-owner of Memories Pizza in Indiana, says it may not be safe to re-open their pizzeria after they said they wouldn’t cater a gay wedding.

“I don’t know if we will re-open, or if we can, if it’s safe to re-open,” O’Connor said on TheBlaze TV’s Dana. “We’re in hiding basically, staying in the house.”

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.”

She made it clear that they are happy to serve gay customers, but would not be a part of the wedding because of their religious beliefs. National news outlets quickly picked up the story.

O’Connor said they have since received an endless flood of “bashing” comments on social media, and their Yelp page has been trashed. One reviewer wrote that they serve an “intolerance special with toppings of hate, bigotry, stupidity, and old fashioned beliefs.” And a high school gym coach from Walkerton, Indiana has been suspended after urging people on Twitter to burn down their establishment.

Thanks for informing me about the “click farms”, I have never heard about them before. But even if you are not a master of digital technology, as I am not, you can definitely see a lot of suspicious behavior on some of these websites. It seems that they are flooded with lefty extremists. I wondered how they were all coming out of the woodwork, now I have a clue.

Rush talked about this on his program. They have been using these methods on him, trying to get his small business advertisers to drop him. The tricksters can make it seem that there are thousands of complainers in their local areas when they are only a handful in a few places far away from where they are pretending to be.

It is all now propaganda and agit-prop all the time. It works for them so they will keep using it. Somewhere in hell Saul Alinsky is smiling.

Rush is getting very insightful in recent years. I hope all true conservatives can join together to get ahead of the leftist radicals otherwise they will pick us off one by one.

One such company fell for this ruse: carbonite. One single liberal, pretending to represent thousands of limbaugh listeners, got carbonite to cancel their advertisements on rushs show. It was the biggest mistake they made. Rush listeners and other conservatives stopped using their services, investors fled, their stock dropped. Carbonite came crawling on their hands and knees back to rush, begging him to take their advertising back. Rush refused.

That is so wonderful! Maybe they can reopen elsewhere.
