The Tolerant Go Fund #MemoriesPizza and Meet Goal Within 18 Hours

by Kim D.

The freak out over Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act reached outrageous overload when the O'Connor family, owners of Memories Pizza in Walkerton, Indiana, responded to a hypothetical question over catering same-sex weddings.  The owners were clear to state that they would not refuse normal service and discriminate against gay customers; however, catering a same-sex wedding would be in conflict with their religious beliefs.

First, let's start with the obvious fact that no self-respecting same-sex couple would ever, under any circumstances, cater their wedding with pizza. But simple logic doesn't go along with the liberal policy and politics of outrage against anyone or anything that dares to challenge their bully tactics, and for the time being, Memories Pizza has had to temporarily suspend operations because the owners gave an opinion to a hypothetical question.

If there is any outrage in this story, it is a business being punished severely for what they "might" do if faced with a situation will more than likely never, ever happen. The true recourse in a situation like this is to fight fire with fire, something Dana Loesch knows all to well.
Not too long after she tweeted the idea, her friend and colleague, Lawrence Jones, created the Support Memories Pizza gofundme page with a requested goal of $100K.  As of 11:30 this morning, the goal had been reached as is steadily increasing as I write.  It's amazing what the true champions of tolerance can do!
