Memories Pizza -- the first Indiana business to declare it would refuse
LGBT business -- got blasted on the Internet and by phone, but the owner
says there's been a huge misunderstanding ... sorta.
Kevin O’Connor
tells TMZ he's had to temporarily close his business after he told a
reporter he would refuse to cater a gay wedding under Indiana's new
Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
O'Connor says he was immediately
flooded by threatening phone calls, and social media postings.
O'Connor
wants to clear up one thing: He says he would never deny service to gay
people in his restaurant. However, due to his religious beliefs, he does
not believe in gay marriage ... and that's why he wouldn't service one.
Meanwhile, he says the threats have been serious enough that he's
closing his pizza joint ... at least until the dust settles.
Indiana's
controversial law has raised a lot of questions, not the least of which
is ... what gay wedding would hire a pizza place to cater?
