It appears the free market is speaking – at least the part of it that supports Indiana’s “religious liberty” law.
In less than three days the owners of an Indiana pizzeria that says it won't cater same sex weddings has raised three-quarters of a million dollars from donors sympathetic to their views through the fundraising site GoFundMe.
"God has blessed us for standing up for what we believe, and not denying him,” Crystal O’Connor told a Fox News Business host Thursday evening.
O’Connor and her father Kevin own Memories Pizza, which has been bombarded with negative Yelp reviews and Twitter and Facebook comments after saying they would not serve gay customers if Indiana’s “religious liberty” bill passed.
The pair closed their doors in response to the criticism.
Dana Loesch, conservative host and "right wing activist," revealed on the Glenn Beck show that she and her team had set up the GoFundMe page to raise money.
More than 25,000 donations have been received, totaling about $750,000 by 3:30 p.m. ET on Friday. The original goal of the campaign was $25,000, according to the Chicago Tribune.
“If a gay couple came in and wanted us to provide pizzas for their wedding, we would have to say no,” O’Connor told a local television reporter.
