I don't want to eat pizza in a church. I watched their interview and saw all those crosses and Bible stuff on the walls. That alone would be enough to make me walk right out of there.

I would not give them my money for pizza, let alone contribute to any funding of their bigotry.

Now tell me how that is relevant to a person being denied a service available to the general public simply because of their sexual orientation.
I already explained why what I wrote is relevant to our mini discussion. Please re-read my post.

The law is on their side; they don't need it. Businesses in Indiana are opposed. In the end, that's all that will matter.

Did you miss the firestorm that happened, and the Governors quick back pedal?

If the majority were FOR it, then there would not have been such a big push to change it.

Just goes to show you that stupid people will donate money to try to salvage their right to hate and be bigots. I just hope the family takes the money, fails to pay taxes and all end up in jail.

It's sad that people want to hate and discriminate and use God to do it.

If ACME stops selling me bread, I go to Panera. I am not going to call LBGT offices for help.

Yeah I should be able to refuse to serve blacks or women because Merica

This is REALLY gonna **** you off. This money is considered a gift by the IRS. Therefore, as long as no one person donated more than $14,000, it's ALL considered a non taxable gift. Zero, zip, Nada taxes. Doesn't even get reported to IRS unless one donor exceeded the $14k threshold.

Of course, when they take that money and invest it, they will have to pay taxes on the investment income.
