“If a gay couple came in and wanted us to provide pizzas for their wedding, we would have to say no.” http://t.co/BEyWPr1ZWH— The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) April 1, 2015
O’Connor said he’s never been asked to cater a wedding, and that the response was hypothetical in response to questions posed by the news crew.
“It’s hard to speak when things get taken so out of context and this thing goes sky high and just blows everything up,” he said. “I’ve got a family to think about, too.”
O’Connor also said that he had never been faced with a conflict with his religious beliefs in his line of work.
“I mean, we don’t believe in murder. I also don’t believe in abortion,” he said when asked about other events he would feel conflicted about providing services for. When asked about pizza for weddings with divorced couples, O’Connor paused.
“You know, that’s something that I don’t have figured out in my own mind yet,” he said. “Because I’m divorced. So that’s something I don’t have figured out.”
Selective “christian family values” in action…
