Backlash is swift and furious after Indiana pizza restaurant owner brags about ‘no gays’ policy


This is an automatic summary, original reduced by 51%.





A small Indiana pizza and ice cream parlor is coming under fire after its owners went on the news and boasted that their establishment would not cater gay or non-Christian functions.


After Crystal and Kevin O'Connor of Memories Pizza appeared on ABC 57 to declare their support for Governor Mike Pence and the controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act yesterday, the backlash was immediate.


"If a gay couple came in and wanted us to provide pizzas for their wedding, we would have to say no," Crystal said as she stood in the restaurant, which is festooned with Christian paraphernalia.


Despite not believing that the bill would lead to targeted discrimination against members of the LGBT community, O'Connor told the station that her establishment would use the bill to avoid having to cater events like gay or non-Christian weddings.


Robert S. pointed out the obvious on Yelp, writing that "in all my queer life, I've never known a gay to cater their wedding with pizza.


"This is a transparent attempt to fly the Christian martyr 'mean Gays are calling us bigots' flag in the hopes that other mouth-breathers in the area will rally to them and their crappy pizza the way Southerners rallied to Chick Fil-A," he wrote.
