Tig Notaro On The Anti-Gay Pizza Restaurant In Indiana: 'It's Sickening'
Memories Pizza, the Indiana restaurant that said it would refuse to cater gay weddings under the state’s controversial religious freedom law, has raised more than $800,000 from supporters who have no problem with the discrimination against LGBT customers.
