Crystal O'Connor of Memories Pizza, Walkerton, Indiana
Yesterday Memories Pizza was all over the news
for saying this:
"If a gay couple came in and wanted us to provide pizzas for their wedding, we would have to say no," O'Connor told local affiliate ABC 57. "We are a Christian establishment."
Not sure what self-respecting human being would want wedding pizzas in the first place, but okay. We get it. You're hateful. And guess what happens when you take to the media to trumpet your
right to discriminate?
Memories Pizza, a takeout restaurant in Walkerton, Indiana, has closed its doors following outrage over remarks the shop owner made regarding same-sex marriage. [...]
Co-owner Kevin O'Connor, whose relation to Crystal is unclear, said Memories is "temporarily" dark until "threatening" calls and online posts die down, according to TMZ.
Funny how when you trumpet to the world that you're going to discriminate against people, you get an overwhelming negative response—even if you try to claim it's not discrimination.
“We're not discriminating against anyone, that's just our belief and anyone has the right to believe in anything,” says O'Connor.
And we the people have the right to respond accordingly on the internet and never frequent your business again.
The hand of justice in the age of social media has never been swifter.
