Memories Pizza announces its plans for that $842,000 you gave them

The owners of Memories Pizza would have been fully within their rights to keep every penny of the $842,000 donated to them by supporters through the astonishing GoFundMe campaign that followed the attacks on them by gay activists and their media allies.

That's how I'm sure most donors intended the money. It was for the people who'd had their very livelihood threatened for no reason whatsoever. They have never been asked to cater a gay wedding, and they almost certainly never will be. They'd never taken any sort of initiative to attack gay people. All they did was honestly answer a question about their faith from a TV reporter on a fishing expedition. So yeah, it would have been totally appropriate for them to keep every penny of it for their own personal use. But they're not going to do that. They're going to share it with some people who can really use the help, including another victim of the gay fascist movement:

“They revealed they are set to share their new fortune with disabled children, a women’s help group, firefighters, police trusts, Christian churches, and Washington florist Barronelle Stutzman, 70, who was fined after declaring she would not serve a gay wedding.” You may recall that the elderly florist was slapped with a $1,000 fine last month after she declined to sell flowers for the 2013 wedding of longtime gay customers. A judge ruled that Stutzman, a Christian with deeply-held religious beliefs, violated the Washington state law against discrimination. As for his religious beliefs and how they may have been influenced by the furor over his pizza parlor’s backing of Indiana’s recently enacted Religious Freedom Restoration Act, Kevin O’Connor tells The Daily Mail he still feels the same about not supporting a gay marriage celebration. “‘If any child of mine came out as gay and entered into a gay marriage, I would still love them, but Daddy wouldn’t be going to the wedding.'”

The story doesn't say exactly how much of the money they'll donate or how much - if any - they will keep. I'd look for the left to attack them on that front - demanding to know exactly how much they're keeping and going after them if it's anything at all, then accusing them of implying that they were giving everything away even though they said no such thing. It's their business. It's their money. It's their right to do whatever they want with it. If they want to invest it in an upgrade of their restaurant, they can do that. If they want to give some or all of it away, they can do that. If they want to buy a fancy sports car and a hot tub, they can do that. And none of this would be wrong in any way. But I'm not surprised they're sharing it, because they seem like that type of people. I hope they reopen some time. I'm not often in the South Bend area but I might make the trip just to give them some business and some encouragement. The more I hear about them, the more convinced I am that they deserve it.
