Which they say they have never done and admit they never expect to happen
....and today is "forced to close" because of internet hostility...
...and nearly 150k is donated to support them.
Seems pretty fortuitous. And not a bad days pay.
If I promise to hate the gays as hard as I can can I get some cash?

Totally not obvious. Not at all.

(191 posts)I knew going after a mom and pop business was a bad idea. Most people will feel sorry for them. We are better off staying focused on politicians creating divisive laws and not trying to be divisive ourselves.

The Father was the one who said he chose to be a heterosexual. No-one forced them to say ANYTHING.

(16,038 posts)I can do. That said, I can't imagine wanting someone who hates me making my food. I would rather find some place else to cater for me than to force someone to do it..just asking for passive aggression...not something I want in my food...

(16,124 posts)the Right Wingers are crowing over several comments left saying (paraphrasing here) I'm gay and I'm donating because I think it is awesome for you to discriminate against me.
Not going back there today too much evil.
Goes to show that bigots always have each other's backs.
