But, golly! Aren’t they afraid a gang of angry murder-gays will burn the place to the ground while sodomizing them? Because that happens all the time, you know! /s

‘Kevin O’Connor told the AP that he’d spend some of that money for improvements
around the pizza shop and planned to donate a portion of the funds to foment
further discrimination against people he’ll never, ever meet!.’

Another American “capitalist” success story. They’re going to thrive and flourish all on their own, and even donate money to charity (probably a church) to boot.

They built that!

A perfect example of teabaggery: “With enough of other people’s money, we can accomplish anything.”

It’s probably best for all if the bigots clump together in one location. This can be the Chick-Fil-A of pizza joints.

So were they ever asked to cater a wedding or did they just create a storm by saying they would not cater a wedding? I suppose some might have a catered pizza buffet for their wedding but really can’t they do better?

I have very little doubt that this was all an attempt by them to fleece some bigots out of money.

Look at those customers. If the O’Connors are serious about their Christianity they should be refusing to serve at least half of them because gluttony is not only a sin, it is one of the seven deadly sins. The ones that send you straight to hell.

And don’t forget to plan for paying the IRS portion of your windfall.

I’d like a large sausage and… Wait, what? Pork is a no no? SINNERS! Servants of the DEVIL for touching such an unclean animal! You should be stoned to death, and your daughter should be sold into slavery (after you fix her teeth).

Nah, they ain’t that bright. They’re accidental grifters.

The owner said at the time it was hypothetical—they’d never actually been asked to cater a gay wedding. I think it will remain hypothetical for a long time—billions of years will go by and the sun will turn into a red giant first, I’d think, rendering the whole little contretemps moot.

Try their new mid west Irish “Cheesus Chrust Pizza”…it’s to be crucified for! One bite and you’ll feel just like a holy martyr and worthy of grifting at GoFundMe!

A fundraiser set up for the O’Connor family by employees of TheBlaze TV, Glenn Beck’s television network, raised more than $842,000 while Memories Pizza was shuttered.

It really boggles my mind that the same people who rail against their taxes going to programs like food stamps, welfare, medicaid, social security, etc. on the grounds that the beneficiaries of those programs are undeserving of their hard earned money can gleefully hand over a larger share of their income than would ever be collected in their personal share of the tax money appropriated to those programs in order to give a couple of bigots a huge payday.

I guess what really matters is that the beneficiaries are the right kind of people.

I guess all those who (allegedly) threatened to kill them - which I believe was the owner’s “reason” for closing in the first place - got together and wrote a (collective) letter saying “Hey! We were just kidding! Now that you’ve grifted all that money, we’ll leave you alone. Because Freedumb!”
