Perhaps it was all a brilliant marketing ploy.

The Indiana pizza parlor which was the first to say they wouldn’t cater gay weddings, I mean. They’ve raised nearly a cool million through crowd-funding.

I was outraged, too, by their intolerance, mainly because I thought they weren’t going to serve gay people, but now I see their only stand was to not cater gay weddings. I am less outraged, but their stand still doesn’t make religious sense because at least one third of heterosexual marriages happening in the U.S. today are unscriptural and even sinful (adulterous) according to the words of Jesus himself. Anyone divorced and remarried without the benefit of their previous spouse dying or cheating on them is in a sinful, adulterous marriage. How many heterosexuals fall into that category, a category no different than gay marriage?

It’s not really about bigotry, but hypocrisy in my opinion. I dislike hypocrites more than bigots. At least bigots are honest.

The oppositional, fuck-you, rebel in me, though, is actually quite delighted that Memories Pizza made so much bank from all of this. This is a brave new world we live in, one swiftly approaching that found in Huxley’s book. Maybe it takes a brave new capitalism to live “the American Dream.”
