Crystal O'Connor of Memories Pizza in Walkerton, Indiana, has her finger on the pulse of what gays want at their weddings: pizza. But thanks to her home state's new Religious Freedom Restoration Act, she can deny those carb-loving queers the sauce and cheese that they're just probably going stuff up their butts, anyway."

"ABC57 interviewed O'Connor, whose family owns the store:
She and her family are standing firm in their beliefs.
The O'Connor's have owned Memories Pizza in Walkerton for 9 years.
It's a small-town business, with small-town ideals.
"We are a Christian establishment," says O'Connor.
The O'Connor family prides themselves in owning a business that reflects their religious beliefs.
"We're not discriminating against anyone, that's just our belief and anyone has the right to believe in anything," says O'Connor."

"Anyone has a right to believe in anything. Crystal O'Connor believes that gays are so deviant they want pizza at their weddings, I believe that Crystal O'Connor is an imbecile, John Travolta believes in Xenu and hairpieces, Whitney Houston believed that children are our future. That's America in a nutshell."

Oh that's rich. Because so many gays cater their weddings with pizza? Ugh, attention-seekers.

I think my favorite part is when they clarify that they'll continue to serve gay customers, they just won't cater gay weddings. I don't imagine wedding catering is a huge part of any pizza business.

Smells like an April fools joke. [But I guess it isn't...]
- Back to just Joe
we're a Christian establishment. So we won't serve people who are hungry and can pay for pizza.

Apparently they were "forced" to close today due to negative press and threats (some of which are being investigated by the police, so maybe they are legit?). They're apparently already considering moving away from both their town asks their state.
