I’ve worked in movie theaters that go death threats. I guess we should have closed up shop. We go death threats because we were a movie theater that “might” at sometime in the future show The Last Temptation of Christ. We got lots of them. Of course this was before the internets so no go fund me for us. Of course I got death threats for kicking out smokers and sometimes rowdy kids. I guess I’m too freaking manly to take them seriously or something. ---

Apparently the owners have not considered the scenario where Jesus asks them to cater his gay wedding… And almost all the reviews are either one star or five star. Not surprisingly very few of the those are one star “I hate gays too but that’s some damn shitty pizza” or five star “every fucking body I know and love is gay but man their pizza is the shit”. Call me a cynic but I don’t think stars are about pizzas anymore. ---

I simply believe a private business should have the freedom to do business with whomever they want.) You should have held off to donate to the next business that hits the news about this. Except you didn’t, and neither did any of the other people who contributed to that $800k, so next time a business tries it, they probably won’t get quite as much, and the next one after that will get even less, and then jeez, discriminatory businesses will be counting their donations in the _tens_ of dollars. Easy to send a quick $10 or $20 or whatever in the heat of the moment, not so easy to keep doing it time and time again. I would certainly hope that there aren’t other business owners out there who perceive this as an easy way to get a financial windfall. ---

I hope they set aside some of the money to help other businesses that get hit with a boycott. The margins on a mom & pop place are pretty thin. Even a weeks lost business can hurt them badly. Two weeks and they are financially ruined. A fund could help out a lot. Even if it just kicked in 20k per boycotted business. 20k is a lot of pizzas for a mom & pop to sell. That could be a months sales. Not to mention the employees that have lost their paychecks. That fund could help them out some too. ---

I, too, promise not to sell pizzas for same-sex weddings\*. Can I have some cash, please? 🙂 \*For one, I can’t make pizzas to save my life; for another, I think serving pizza at weddings is tacky. ---

I didn’t know the Waffen SS liked pizza at their weddings however I support this restaurant’s brave stance against such things. Wait, what? Oh. That’s very different. Never mind. ---

> [@aceplace57](#): > > I hope they set aside some of the money to help other businesses that get hit with a boycott. I think the people donating are responsible for that one. Go incredibly overboard with one fund and surprise! There’s less money for the next one. But boy, you sure showed those liberals that you know how to overcompensate. ---

What the hell are you on about? What was the post I was responding to? It was someone talking about the law as if it still currently existed, making predictions about what was going to happen with it. I even quoted the relevant section. This is the second time you’ve asked me that, and the second time the answer has been right in front of your face. You might want to work on your reading comprehension. ---
