    Gay-Panthers strike again. But the level minded people counter-attack. Good news. This is what happens when less than 5% of the population have the lib-progs by the balls (as if lib-progs have balls) and further their agenda by intimidation. Sounds like terrorism to me.

    My rights do not stop when they meet the Professionally Offended. Get over yourselves.

    As a Muslim, I have contributed to the pizza place. Christianity and Islam are united on the crime of homosexuality.

    Thank you for contributing. Homosexuality is not a crime. Forcing people to do things that are against their religion is though. Live and let live. Peace be with you and let peaceful people practice their religion. The gay mafia must be stopped.

    The simplistic binary mind of a liberal cannot process that that it is possible to refuse service to someone without hating them in the least.

    Bartender refuses service to an inebriated patron. That's discrimination. It's not hate.

    Bartender refuses service to an inebriated gaytron. Also discrimination. It doesn't become hate because the person is gay.

    Mom refuses to buy candy for their kid. They don't hate their kid. They simply don't want to support bad habits or behaviors.

    Simplistic binary minds cannot process the notion that people do have the ability to separate the abhorrence of habits or lifestyles - considering them sins - but not actually direct venom at the individual who is sinning.

    Because they can't - and that right there is psychosis of the first order.

    So one group of bigots got hysterical about nothing and in then a small business that had no involvement gets ambushed by a reporter and find huge public support.

    Seems to me the religious bigots got burned and should learn a lesson about going too far I'm their bigotry of others beliefs. Hebpublic is getting sick of the demands on others.

    Tending to be a bit pessimistic about human nature, I have to think this was just a plan that succeeded. Podunk pizzeria makes it known that in a possible scenario, they would not serve gays. Lot of people are outraged, but knowing full well that some like-minded people would contribute to them as part of the cause. Result: they get more easy profit than they would see in a years.

    That is indeed impressive. As of this morning, it was over $500,000 that folks have given to a business.

    Now that I type that, it does sound a bit funny. People donate to businesses? Just give money to a business because apparently that business if faltering in the free market?

    It seems odd that business would have religious convictions at all, let alone ones that allow homosexuals to eat at their establishment (and how this business identifies who is and is not homosexual is a bit of a mystery) but prohibits this same business from engaging in commerce with wedding parties depending solely on the gender combination of whom is getting married.

    What religion is that I wonder?

    I digress.

    So rather than let this business sink or swim on it's own, folks are simply donating money to this business? Not juvenile cancer, nor a homeless shelter, nor the March of Dimes, but rather just giving money to a business that has stated that they would refuse to engage in the act of selling pizzas to folks?

    When I think of worthy causes, I daresay handing money over to failed business models seems rather silly.

    Ah. Your first real-life demonstration that businesses are people. Shocking wake up call, isn't it?

    Yeah...and the rest of us will wait to see if the 'businesses are people' angle sinks in...

    There is no mystery. They said that anyone can eat there. They said they will merely not cater a gay wedding. Mystery solved.

    So why did you think anything was a mystery?

    One which understands the nuanced difference between not objecting to a homosexual who comes into the establishment to order a slice of pizza, and objecting to participating in a ritual where homosexuality is glorified.

    From what? Logic?

    How about people who are in hiding and afraid for their lives, unable to make a living - all due to our loving and tolerant liberal citizens?

    You make your political statements your way; we'll make ours our way.

    Wait people this is Libertarianism people choosing where to do business this is the force of spending dollars people opting to do business elsewhere. I wouldn't do business with them I would go to another pizzeria and tell my reason why. As for the donations bigots are clearly generous.

    Another froof for me relgion is morally destructive it promotes bigotry.

    Not to mention 99.99% of the Yelp blatherers had never been to the pizza joint.

    Clue for those who love to copy/paste open internet sources: Not everything you see on the internet is true.

    Your grammatical porridge aside: liberalism must be morally destructive as well, because you CLEARLY are bigoted towards the religious. The religious justify their 'bigotry' because they disapprove what you think and do; you justify your bigotry because you disapprove of what the religious think and do.

    Consider yourself just as guilty of the destruction - with one important difference. I can amply demonstrate the ability of the religious to separate disapproval of behavior and belief from the PERSON, but I cannot demonstrate that same distinction in liberals.

    Liberals are intolerant PRECISELY BECAUSE they are incapable of understanding the distinction, and altering their reaction accordingly.

    When a religious person disapproves of homosexuality, they quietly choose to disassociate. What makes that decision LOUD is not the religious person's decision, it is the liberal person's REACTION.

    When a liberal/gay/gay liberal/whatever disapproves of a religious person, they threaten their lives and attempt to ruin them.

    Hypocrites.

    The FAMILY owned business. The FAMILY whose livelihood is threatened by religious bigots.
    Ahh under threats of violence if they remain open.

    Why are you surprised this family has religious convictions?

    Serving them pizza or sselling them a pizza has nothing to do with the persons sexual activity does it.

    From becoming part of a celebration of their homosexuality.

    That really over your head?

    Not so much on their own when the radical pro-homophites are threatening them is it.

    Or perhaps the pro-homophites could spend their time and energy and money supporting those causes and buy their continue to buy their pizzas here but when they want someone to help plan their celebration of their sexual affinity hire someone else who supports that celebration.

    Nearly $500,000 Raised for Indiana Pizzeria

    Amazing backlash to Gay Terrorists threats.

    “We’re very hurt and confused and we stood up for what we believe,” she told The Blaze. “The news just took it totally out of proportion. They lied about it. We said that we would serve anyone that walked in that door, even gays, but we would not condone a wedding. We would not cater that because it’s against our religious beliefs.”

    Well, it appears lots of people want them to reopen. Read the story and see the video @ http://cleveland.cbslocal.com/2015/...ises-nearly-500g-so-far-for-indiana-pizzeria/

    What happens when gay asks for wedding cake & Muslim bakery @ http://louderwithcrowder.com/hidden-camera-gay-wedding-cake-at-muslim-bakery/

    The difference I'm bigoted against the religious but I don't own a business and if I did I wouldn't refuse any service to them. It would be shooting myself in the foot. Its the same thing here if you say you won't do a service for gays then people can decide not then to do business with them and then protest.

    That I suppose is one perspective. Another would be their business is being threatened by their own bigotry which they claim is based in their religion.

    Which begs the question, what comes first, their bigotry or their religion? Did their religion beget their bigotry or vice versa?

    Additionally, they were asked a question that was certain to be in the public arena. Was the answer, apparently representative of the business, supposed to go about unchallenged? Is there some right to not have repercussions for words?

    I think what is happening here is that bigots are projecting their own feelings onto their businesses, and then acting shocked. apparently not everyone shares their views.

    It's also now officially the Islamic religion as practiced by those of Islamic faith inside the United States. Now that's going to leave an ideological mark on the Left as BOTH Gay rights and excuses-making for all Islamic faith standards and practices are cherished by leftwingers. So now what? Are Leftwingers going to start sending death threats to the Islamic faith business owner who ALSO stated that he's not going to cater for gay couples for their weddings?

    Wow! I have no problem with gay people, but if people will send me half a million dollars for discriminating against them, I may have to reconsider.

    I believe most gays are born gay.
    So how could it be a crime if God made them that way?

    Uh. No. That's your right as a business owner. Being drunk is not a protected class.

    Only if the bartender wouldn't have refused him service if he was straight. In this case he has a pretty good reason. He was drunk.

    Do you really think that's what liberals believe? Because that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You clearly have trouble understanding the positions of opposing ideologies.
