“That anti-LGBT pizza shop” said they would never refuse to serve LGBT customers. Of course, Salon didn’t feel the need to mention that. Because why tell the whole truth when you can just add fuel to the outrage fire?
Of course this is from Salon. Of course. https://t.co/9BvN1gScJ0

@Salon "People deserve death threats for their beliefs" – Salon, taking cues from 1938 Germany.

.@Salon So @jennykutner thinks that death threats and threats of burning a business down are fine because someone has a right to an opinion?

@EsotericCD So @Salon is endorsing arson now? Good to know. Perhaps the police would like to know that, too.

@Salon It "deserves" to receive death threats and threats of arson? Wow, you guys really are tolerant.
