An Indiana pizzeria that swore to never cater a gay wedding… has accidentally catered for a gay wedding.
Memories Pizza in Walkerton, Indiana made the news earlier this year when the owners pledged to use the state’s newly passed Religious laws to refuse to serve pizza at gay weddings.
Owner Crystal O’Connor said: “If a gay couple was to come in and they wanted us to provide pizzas for their wedding, we would have to say no.”
A subsequent right-wing fundraiser in support of the pizzeria raised a shocking $844,527.
However, if O’Connor really thought she could never serve a gay wedding, she had another thing coming.
Illinois couple Robin Trevino and Jason Delgatto were tying the knot last week – and Trevino decided to take the 80 mile drive down to Indiana to pick up pizza for the reception.
He secretly filmed himself heading into the pizzeria, ordering two overpriced large pizzas.
Trevino told everyone [at the wedding]: “I don’t know if you guys remember hearing the news about the pizza place in Walkerton Indiana. Memories Pizza said that they would not ever cater a gay wedding.
“So yesterday I drove to Walkerton Indiana and brought these… Memories Pizza just catered a gay wedding!”
The wedding guests then all thank Memories Pizza, for helping make a gay wedding.
I've read that the family really isn't that religious and that this was mostly a publicity stunt, one that actually worked seeing as they made bank on that kickstarter of theirs.

this though
Scheming bigots into giving you money is kind of smart but there's always repercussions for these kinds of things.
It's true. We are so spiteful for no reason. What did this prove? What was the point? This is embarrassing. They gave their money to a business that hates them. All for a catty kii.
kinda petty
