Pizzeria Cortile, a wood-fired pizza restaurant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, sparked controversy.
Their crime: the Christian owners refused to cater same-sex wedding.
In a Facebook statement, the eatery said the decision wasn’t meant to harm anyone.
But that didn’t stop the LGBTQ crowd to come out spewing the same thing, accusations of “bigot!”
If you don’t bow the knee to them, that is the only response they have for you.
They posted on Facebook: “We hope to extend grace, listen, and treat each other with dignity despite differences.”
They should know by now that being kind doesn’t work with this crowd.
You have to be firm, unflinching, and never give an inch. Just state you’re not going to cater to them. Period.
Because, as a pastor once said, once you start defending yourself, you’ll never stop.
By the way, why doesn’t this group ever go to Muslim owned bakeries or restaurants and demand they cater their wedding?
It’s almost like they’re targeting Christians, under the guise of fake victimhood.

New York Post reports:
A pizza shop in Chattanooga, Tennessee, said it was a choice of “personal conviction” to not provide catering services for same-sex weddings after critics bashed it for the policy.
Wood-fired pizza eatery Pizzeria Cortile posted a statement to its Facebook account on Tuesday confirming its policy after a left-leaning media company first drew attention to it the day before.
“Recently we made the difficult decision not to cater a wedding due to our personal beliefs,” Pizzeria Cortile wrote. “This belief comes from a place of personal conviction, one we know is not shared by everyone, and it is one we hold without judgment toward others. This decision was not intended to harm or hurt anyone, and we are sorry for the pain this has caused for people who have been a part of our community.
“We recognize and hear the feedback from everyone who has reached out today. We hope with time we can find an opportunity to extend grace and listen to one another, and to remember that while we may not always agree, we can still treat each other with dignity and love.”
ADVERTISEMENTThe statement thanked the community and asked to be given the chance to “continue showing love to you when you come through our doors.”
Support for them is pouring in online!
So next time you’re in Red Bank or Chattanooga, Tennessee order some pizza from Pizzeria Cortile one of two locations!

Remember this story?
Almost like they said, “We found one that won’t worship us!”
Gay couple drives 120 miles, past 67 secular and 6 Muslim owned bakeries to Christian owned bakery,armed with a lawsuit and news crews, demand a gay cake.
