Yes they really deserved the death threats by saying they will serve everybody, but not cater to everybody.

How utterly ridiculous. It is stunning to me that people would stoop to such horrible behavior. They fail to recognize their behavior is as abhorrant as any bigots.
as for not catering.....the lady is correct, she and her family can believe as they wish. And they can refuse to serve a drunk staggering in, or a verbally abusive customer. However, to claim they have a right to ban a whole class...well, thats simply incorrect. That is discrimination, something no one has a 'right' to engage in, regardless of what argument they use to justify it. Because that discrimination affects that class, not just the discriminatory businessperson.
id imagine that racist lunch counter owners and hoteliers are smacking their foreheads and saying 'dammit, why didnt we think of that argument'.

The invisible gay couples are devastated they can't have their invisible wedding reception at a podunk pizza joint.

Because as we all know most gays want nothing more than to eat pizza for their special day.

FFS can you find 500 straight couples that would want to have their wedding catered by a pizza joint?

What does this punk ass administration have planned next for the moron public to be outraged over?

Here's a suggestion. Protest the NBA for not having any women on their teams.

Yes. Yes. Let's make the owners cater to an event that they'd be very uncomfortable to attend.

If they cant handle such things, perhaps catering isnt their forte.

What i want to know is why they cherrypicked this one sin out of so many. Do they balk at catering second marriages? What about serving a single, pregnant woman? What about a blasphemer? One who wears mixed fabrics? What if its on a sunday?
If its lent and friday and a known catholic comes in and orders pepperoni, do they refuse to serve him, thus helping him break a rule?
i doubt it...its just this one thing they fear eternal hellfire and damnation over...and im sure its just coincidence that now that everyone knows its just a matter of weeks before ssm is allowed all over, that some have come up with what they view as a cunning, albeit disingenuous plan to legally discriminate against a class.

I deal with the public every day, from every walk of life Do i like everyone thst comes in? No. Some use language and hold views i dont like.
But if you asked every person ive ever dealt with if i ever dealt with them in any way unkind, disespectful, or with anything other than warmth and civility, the universal response would be no.
