The O’Connor family said that if a gay couple came in to the restaurant to eat “they would never deny them service.” What does this irresponsible jackass think people aren’t going to stand for?

WALKERTON, Ind. – Members of the state’s democratic caucus are speaking out against the religious freedom restoration law.

Democratic Senator Jim Arnold talked exclusively to ABC 57 News.

Arnold addressed the pending changes to the law that the governor proposed ensuring businesses wouldn’t be allowed to discriminate.

ABC 57 News first told you the story about a Walkerton restaurant that said it would refuse to service a wedding for a LGBT couple.

Senator Arnold represents that District (District 8) and said that business in no way represents the town.

He had strong words for the owners.

“The vast majority of people in this country are not going to stand by and watch that kind of activity unfold,” he said. “If that’s their stand I hope they enjoy eating their pizza because I don’t think anyone else is going to.”

Sen. Arnold says he’s upset by the news because of the negative attention it’s bringing to a town he says is a great community.

He said this kind of thinking has no place in this town.

And the Religious Freedom Restoration Law is not an excuse for them to discriminate.

“This is America and if people say they’re not going to serve them and they feel this is some kind of defense, which by the way doesn’t take effect until July 1, but if they feel it’s some kind of defense, I think they’re sadly mistaken,” said Sen. Jim Arnold.
