That Anti-Gay Pizzeria Accidentally Catered a Gay Wedding

Memories Pizza, the Indiana pizzeria that controversially claimed earlier this year that it would never cater a gay wedding, has unwittingly catered a gay wedding.

Robin Trevino and Jason Delgatto first exchanged vows in Illinois in 2008 and secured a marriage license in Iowa the following year, but they chose to renew their vows this month to commemorate the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges, which guaranteed same-sex couples the right to marry.

The proprietors of Memories Pizza, who in April cited an Indiana religious-freedom law to justify not serving at gay weddings, were presumably less than thrilled with the ruling. Trevino, who belongs to a gay comedy troupe, chose to add insult to injury: before their vow renewal ceremony, he drove to the Walkerton, Ind., pizza parlor and ordered two pies, which the couple served to their guests.

Trevino posted a video to YouTube of the whole production.

Silent No More: Early Days in the Fight for Gay Rights

The parade involved 300 male and female homosexuals, who marched without incident two miles from Gay Activists headquarters to a park near City Hall.
