Ha. Imagine that.

It looks like the backlash had an effect.

"The new language unveiled by GOP leaders Thursday goes further than many observers thought it would, specifically including protections on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity."

LGBT Protections Included In Fix For Indiana's 'Religious Freedom' Law

Wow! All those gay weddings in Walkerton might have their wishes come true and be catered with Memories Pizza!

They've also had a GoFundMe page set up in their honor that's already gotten over $40,000 in pledges.

But what about the threat of women being denied birth control on religious grounds?

They've raised $55 k now.

$153,075

The GoFundMe description by those at BlazeTV, who actually set these bigots up for this, then asked other bigots to give them money, is hateful...dont read the comments from contributors!

"Religious liberty is under assault in Indiana and that's never been clearer than with the O'Connor family.

When asked by local press the hypothetical question of whether or not they'd prefer to have their family owned business, Memories Pizza, cater a gay wedding, the owner said no citing their own religious beliefs as the reason.

Rather than allowing this family to simply have their opinion, which they were asked to give, outraged people grabbed the torches and began a campaign to destroy this small business in small town Indiana.

All for having an opinion that is rooted in faith.

No one was turned away. No one was discriminated against. It was a hypothetical question asked by a news reporter who had questionable motives to begin with.

After being interviewed by Dana Loesch on her television show on Blaze TV, we learned that the family may never even reopen the doors to their restaurant as the death threats and vicious online reviews continue to pour in from the arbiters of "tolerance."

My name is Lawrence Jones, and I'm one of the television opinion contributors on Dana's show.

Before the televised interview, producers Rachel, Allison and George discussed the situation with Dana, myself and head writer Ben Howe. We all agreed: this family needs help to get through this assault.

So we set up a GoFundMe page with the modest goal of $25,000. The intent was to help the family stave off the burdensome cost of having the media parked out front, activists tearing them down, and no customers coming in.

Our goal was simply to help take one thing off this family's plate as the strangers sought to destroy them.

But other strangers came to the rescue and the total just keeps going up.

Thank you for helping us do some good for this family who were scared and in hiding just 24 hours before this writing.

All money, save whatever percentage GoFundMe takes, will be transferred directly to whichever bank account the O'Connors wish to use.

Show producers are in direct contact with the family to ensure that they never feel like they are being left out of what is going on.

Thank you to everyone for your generosity."

Give money to bigots!

I think of course it's disheartening to find bigots rewarding bigots for their bigotry with bigoted dollars. But is there something we can do about the issues that are impacting queers who live amongst these bigots? For one thing, maybe sending info to our earnest straight celebrity allies that taking dollars from bigoted states and giving it to HRC is wrongheaded?

And I'm sure their crack accountants realize that's all taxable income.

Anyway. ABOUT THAT EFFING HRC. What is to be done?

I was wondering how long this would take. Remember how people went ape $hit over Chik fil A?
