I can only go by what the co-owner told the media:
“I don’t know if we will reopen, or if we can, if it’s safe to reopen,” co-owner Crystal O’Connor told TheBlaze TV. “We’re in hiding basically, staying in the house.”

does pedophilia fall under your tolerance umbrella?
Another example of how you haven't criticized so much as discriminated against. (IE: Your little jab here at a belief system)
It's discrimination when you want force used to stop a business from discrimination. It's discrimination when you base your argument on ad homs toward another belief system.
see that is the thing I have never spouted to be a tolerant person. in fact I am very intolerant of certain behaviors and some people.
however go back and see the definition of tolerance. people that spout it don't know what it means. they like to preach it because it sounds good,
however when you get down into the definition of tolerance they are sorely not tolerant.
You mentioned that the pizzeria closed, not why. The owners were afraid for their lives and the safety of their staff. They didn't seek out the notoriety, they were sought out by a local news caster. The unintended consequence of her news report was the loss of a family business and fear created for the family.
That is not true. We have a regulated marketplace and the state has the power to pass laws which ensure it operates efficiently
Rights do not have to harm anyone in order for them to be limited. Falsely yelling "Fire" in a crowded theatre is considered endangerment even if no one reacts.
And that's not the only example where rights are limited even if no one is harmed.
Besides, this sort of discrimination hurts commerce which causes a harm to the nation as a whole.
ReverendHellHound provided an answer in post #48.
The excerpts from the news article mentioned Ms. O'Connor's concern about safety. There's no contradiction between the information in the news article and the tweet ReverendHellHound posted.
There was a family owned pizza place in the town i'm from, bout the same size.
They'd get 5-6 sales on a good day. $50k for "lost business" when they voluntarily shut down on a day or two for no reason just shows how imbecilic gay bashers are
I'll have to get out by COTUS and the BOR, as I must have missed these rights.
Maybe those calling for tolerance should be more tolerant themselves of others' viewpoints.
if i dished out to them as much retribution as suffering they wish to cause to lgbt...
that would be exactly what they deserve
all you're doing is making me associate you with them
Yeah you got to sell a lot of pizzas to make 50k, especially in a small town.
What makes me wonder if this was a stunt is because the owners specially mention they won't carter ' gay weddings', then go on to say they never even catered a wedding. Why even mention something that doesn't affect them?
Here let me make it clear so you can stop thinking you'll shame me into a mea culpa: **** religion!!

An Indiana pizzeria remained closed on Wednesday, embroiled in a national debate after its owners said that they would not cater gay marriages due to their religious beliefs.
Read the article here: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed
I don't claim to be an expert on this, but how many gay weddings are followed up by pizza parties? :roll:
My guess is that these people are declining to serve people who would never be their customers.
What retribution and suffering are they causing by not providing a service to a gay wedding?
And you can associate me with whoever you want to. That is your prerogative. Won't make it true though. :shrug:

Not a damn thing about gays at all.
I have never heard of anybody having a wedding catered with pizza.
The words 'pizza' and 'catering' are mutually exclusive.
It was a pathetic attempt by moronic pizza shop owners to pander to Christians to increase their business, which blew up in their face.
I'll bet that they even set up their own GoFundMe page, or had a friend do it.
Lying, hypocritical morons.
Maybe they really are that hateful and pathetic and they just stumbled onto a goldmine completely unwittingly.
A+B =/ A is usually a step too much for bigots to grasp, after all
Nah i've been around bigots long enough to know, and the polls back this up - opposition to SSM is roughly identical to opposition to ALL gay rights including consensual sex
They are just lying about where'd they draw the line. They come from a position of hate period
No ****!
There is a difference between the two? Really?
So if the wedding party came into the store to eat, it is OK, right?
If the wedding party ordered their pizzas to go to cater their own wedding, it would be OK also, right?
Like I said, hypocrisy disguised as Christianity.
Or they were just preemptively professing their faith.
Regardless their reasoning, do they deserve the fascist death threats and maligning?
fine, not you.
but if one claims to be tolerant, must* one tolerate pedophilia? murder?
you said to the effect of "all beliefs, behaviors"
