Boycott Indiana? (1 Viewer)

It wasn't an announcement. They were answering a reporter's question during an interview.

Why would they have themselves to blame for death threats?
This is exactly right. A reporter walks into their restaurant and asks them questions before this is even news. They answer the hypothetical questions and now they've lost their business, been subjected to nationwide ridicule and received threats. Yet somehow the people who scream for tolerance are ok with this.
No, we are not OK with this. Death threats are never acceptable under any circumstances and those who made them should be prosecuted (as I previously stated).

More Straw Men in this thread than are found in the state of Indiana.

deserve to die? of course not.

Pretty simple. don't act like a doosh

 
Dana Loesch ‏@DLoesch ·Just got off the phone with #MemoriesPizza; theyre considering never opening again. Receiving a lot of death threats.X X XNo, the above is never acceptable and should not be tolerated, and if anyone making such threats can be identified, they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
The only thing stupider than their policy is actually publicizing it. Might as well torch your own restaurant while you're at it. Morons.
That's so bogus. Can't people just respect out beliefs? We aren't giving death threats to gay bars.We just want you to leave us alone.
So Freudian.

Moops doesn't speak for me or for all of the liberals/progressives here.

This accusation of acceptance of death threats followed my posts and suggested that I and the majority of liberals/progressives found death threats acceptable, which is not the case. I doubt you would want me to hold you responsible for things said by some of the right wing fringe here (but if you wish I will do so in the future).

And my comment wasn't limited to just the FFA and also included them losing their business.
 
WTF kind of pizza place serves pizza at a wedding? I mean, the wedding isn't taking place in their restaurant. So are they physically delivering these pizzas to straight weddings and serving slices? Paper plates?
I was at a wedding that brought pizzas at midnight. :shrug:
The past three weddings I've been to have all served late-night pizza. We are considering it for our heterosexual wedding this fall. Seems like a pretty common thing these days.

Good posting. I think all of us would be better off if we resisted the temptation to define the other side by it's craziest elements. No matter where you come down on any particular issue, there are intelligent people on this board who have reasoned arguments against you. Better to focus on those than the nuts.

Also, I got that Moops was joking. He's a good guy.

They are just closed temporarily per reports. They will probably reopen in a few weeks and do the turn away business from the local bigots like Chick-Fil-A did after it embraced homophobia. Don't cry for them Argentina.

And if Memories Pizza just turn out to be a memory, well that was a foreseeable consequence of doing a televised interview announcing your plans to discriminate against gay people. However, sometimes these things for small business owners don't have long term negative consequences, see Big Earl's Bait House and Restaurant in Texas that had a similar controversy and is doing fine these days, thank you.

You said "we are not OK with this". I don't think the moops is any more left wing fringe than you are, but it's not worth arguing over.

Yea, now that I think of it, I have been weddings that got late night pizza. But the pizzas weren't served by the pizza place. They were either just straight up delivery, or the place that hosted the wedding served it.

 
They are denying providing the pizza for a gay wedding. If the same gay couple came into the restaurant and ordered pizzas to eat there, there is no issue.
What makes you say that? We are a Christian establishment, says O'Connor.

The O'Connor family prides themselves in owning a business that reflects their religious beliefs.
I'm a Christian and as dar as I can tell none of our denominations calls for starving out people you disagree with.
Yeah, I read the whole article this time. If you owned a restaurant and catering business why would you want to serve gay people in the restaurant but not cater a gay function?
Serving gay people in a restaurant is no different from serving any other type of person.Catering a function whose purpose is to institutionalize an idology to which the owner is opposed is to support the institutionalization of that ideology.

It's the exact difference between loving the sinner but hating the sin imo.

 
My point was that, as a Christian, it's incumbent upon me to be the loudest voice against the gay bashing high school jock or the rural rube threatening to burn down the gay bar. It would seem disingenuous of me to turn a blind eye to those things because they are wrong, and "my group" is responsible.

Liberals in the FFA consistently turn a blind eye to the most horrific actions of the liberal groups and instead point the finger at the other side. If gay groups are putting pronographic pictures out there in protest, well good for them right? I mean, just look at what Jethro is doing in Podunk!

False equivalences seem to be a common response. The most horrific actions committed by liberal groups (especially in this case) are no where near the horrific actions on the other side. What happens to the gay kids who get bullied? They commit suicide in several cases, severe depression and psychological issues for life in many more. The pizza place will have a small bump in the road and will be doing just fine two months from now. I see your point, but don't make it seem like all actions are equal. You can also argue that the left is being intolerant of conscious CHOICES (religion) while the right is intolerant of attributes which are not a choice (race, sexual orientation).

The purpose isn't to intitutionalize anything its to get married. Catering a gay function is no different than any other function. The laws don't care what you think is a sin or not.

:confused:

Bullying in schools is the fault of conservative groups?

What liberal groups and what horrific actions have they been commitiing?
Poor choice of words. Individuals have been posting offensive and pornographic words and images in this very thread. But it's nice to know that apparently death threats is where some draw the line.

Sure, but you could also argue that the right is indignant about real situations while the left is raising hypothetical and irrelevent straw men to counter them.You could also say that in doing so, the left in this thread is conveniently ignorig the heinous actions of individuals on their side of the ideological fence, or even defending them when they should be condemning them.

That may be your point, but it's apparent that you completely missed mine.

Seemed like it, but obviously that would be moronic.
