So I assume that everyone here would boycott Parana's since they discriminate against those with a concealed carry permit?

They are going to get a ton more than that before this is all over I'm guessing and we will get to see how capitalism/free enterprise works.
They will either make enough to float over this rough patch, or they will fail because the people choose not to support them because of what they support.
Sink or swim time.

You seem to be rather gleeful at the thought that they be run out of town on a rail. What I asked was, what did they do, exactly, that merits that?

Getting taste of their own medicine .. they should suck it up and eat the losses their intolerance caused them rather than panhandling online from the public ... public shouldnt have to pay for the shop owners stupidity...

Oh I'd be over the ****ing moon man!!
Same with the cake store and same with the couple who refused to let a gay couple stay at their B&B.
But that's my personal opinion.
The law in this state let's people discriminate now... so the law is the law.
Hopefully people either get the law changed or boycott the bigots.
Pretty simple really.

Aside from hate calls (which they can deal with if this is the case) how do you know their website was really hacked? Again I'm feeling this is an attention ploy.

You guys afraid to let the market decide? Afraid to let the issue stand on its own with out making the "whites only" comparison?
I agree, let the market decide. If a business establishment doesn't want to serve a particular class of people, so be it. As long as they just decide to don't accept their patronage, and not badmouth and disparage the particular people they decide not to serve. If the majority of people don't accept their policy they'll take their business elsewhere and that particular business will suffer. I always thought a business owner has the right to serve who they choose. If you don't like it, take your business elsewhere.

This was bound to happen soon enough.
All the press and emotional outrage surrounding the new Indiana "Religious Freedom" law has taken prisoners.
A pizza place has apparently said they wouldn't cater to a gay wedding if asked.
Apparently they were not really "asked", but asked "if".
An onslaught of hate calls and website hack attacks has forced the pizza place to close temporarily.
And it looks like somebody is raising money in the wake.
Wild Thing Freedom of Speech is.
Indiana Pizza Shop Gets Set Up By Local Reporter – Instantaneous National Moonbattery Ensues – *Update* Pizza Joint Forced To Close, GoFundMe In Action…..
The moonbattery has metastasized into a supernova of hatred. The intolerant leftists have shut down the mom and pop pizzeria with phone attacks and an on-line onslaught similar to Chick-Fil-A in 2012. Only this time the business is not a corporation it’s a family restaurant without the corporate resources.
You might have noticed an absolute apoplectic reaction to an article about an Indiana Pizza Shop, Memories Pizza, which is being sold as the “First business (restaurant) to publically deny service to same sex marriage”.
[video on the story]
The RIGHT STRIKES BACK!! Christian Pizzeria ATTACKED by gay lobby raises over $18k in 2 HOURS!
Crystal O’Connor co-owns a pizzeria in Indiana but they may close their doors permanently after being attacked for putting forth their Christian faith. When she said she would not cater a gay wedding, the shop’s website was hacked, their Yelp profile was plastered with insults and obscene pictures, and they even received death threats.
A supporter has begun a “GoFundMe” profile for the Pizzeria owners to help them weather the gay mafia storm, and they have so many people angry that they’ve received over $18,000 in donations in just two hours!

If you ever get poor service (or no service at all for that matter) due to discrimination, then just complain and mention how easy it would be to give them a bad review over the internet, lose them hundreds of customers in the long run. Guarantee 9 time out of 10 your getting an apology and they'll step up there game.
Yeah like that will work in small towns especially those bigoted towns and the Bible belts.
Someone noticed that Memories didn’t have its own website. So this anonymous user swung into action and registered the domain “memoriespizza.com” The website then posted satirical content, including phallic-shaped pizzas, the tagline "Call us to cater your gay wedding!", and a list of topics: “Cheese, Sausage (the big thick kind), Pepperoni, Discrimination, Repressed homosexual urges.”

That's not what I asked. What I asked was, what did they do?

Oh shut up!
I'm already on record (here on ATS) by stating that the law was stupid and wouldn't go anywhere and was wrong because you CANNOT legislate morality.
Go peddle you divisiveness somewhere else!
But this hatred is acceptable by the new rules of the Church Of Social Media.
Have a ####ing blast!
