Just in Time
Wedding planners all over Indiana are breathing a sigh of relief as there will be pizza available for receptions this Saturday.
Northern Indiana pizzeria that backed religious law reopens
Published April 09, 2015
Associated Press
WALKERTON, Ind. – A northern Indiana pizzeria that closed after its owner supported Indiana's religious objections law has reopened.
Memories Pizza owner Kevin O'Connor says he reopened about 4 p.m. Thursday. He says that within an hour, all eight tables were filled and six people were waiting for carryout orders. There were no protests as of 7 p.m.
O'Connor faced criticism after he and his daughter, Crystal, said they would never deny service to a gay customer but would decline to cater a same-sex wedding because it would conflict with their Christian beliefs. Protests led them to close the Walkerton pizzeria about 20 miles southwest of South Bend.
O'Connor says he'll use some of his share of more than $842,000 raised online to make improvements. He also plans to donate to charity.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Re: Just in Time
Well, there you go.
Hey, I've got an idea ............... Let's open a Krispie Kreme donut shop and refuse to cater gay Weight Watcher's clubs. People will send us money, but then we close the place down, pocket the cash, and buy a condo somewhere along the gulf coast in Florida so we don't have to deal with winter in the northeast. We could simply blowoff the improvement and charity donation part.
Who's in?
