Indiana Gov. signs "religious freedom" bill into law

You only cover us when we refuse to serve pizza!

 

Anchovies are stuck in the CBI.

 

Amazingly, it's delicious. My wife makes these little pizza bites using cauliflower dough cooked in muffin tins. It's a fantastic appetizer.

 

This is not pizza.

 

So a reporter working on a bit for the 6 p.m. news would have to go get a statement from the Pope if the pizza owners were Catholic?

 

Won't anyone think of the pizza waitresses?

 

Pope?

Pizza?

 

I think the RFRA was ill-conceived and bad law as it was written. On the other hand, I don't assume the worst of religious people. I don't think a bunch of people sat in a room and said, "Hey, let's make these homos pay!" I believe that most of the religious figures behind this legislation were sincere. Maybe I'm wrong, but again, I don't look for reasons to try and prove my goodness by assuming others' badness. If I owned a business, the only problem I would have is providing services to assholes. I'd much rather provide service to a gay individuals than arrogant vegetarians (ooh, great band name). Anyway, you are right about one thing. This whole episode has shown just how close-minded and intolerant certain segments of the population can be.

 

Pope Francis’ pie-in-the-sky dreams have come true.

After revealing earlier this month that he missed being able to grab a slice of pizza in peace, Francis received a delicious surprise from an Italian pizzeria on Saturday -- a handcrafted pie in the Vatican’s colors delivered straight to his popemobile.

Not if it serves New York pizza.

I wouldn't refuse service to anyone based on their sexual orientation because I don't think such a thing has anything to do with business transactions (unless you're a prostitute or manwhore), but I also wouldn't dismiss any individuals immediately as bigots if they had a problem with providing service for a gay wedding they disagree with. Of course, your question is purposely misleading because you know not wanting to provide service in the specific instance of a gay wedding and discriminating against gay couples (or gay individuals in general) is not the same thing.

Like most important issues (and this one involves two of them), it's not as simple as, "Hey, those ugly pizza makers are a perfect example of the people who support this bill!" There are good people and bad people on both sides. I might support certain businesses if I believed they were sincere in their beliefs and weren't trying to hurt anyone. I might not support a particular business if I thought it was grandstanding and hiding behind bad law.

With that, I'm off to Chifk-fil-A for lunch.
