Pizzeria reserves “the right to refuse service to Arizona legislators”
“Funny how just being decent is starting to seem radical these days.”
— A post on the Facebook page of Rocco’s Little Chicago Pizzeria in Tucson, Az. The post accompanied a shot of a sign front and center of the pizzeria’s window, which reads “We reserve the right to refuse service to Arizona legislators,” in response to a bill passed by both the Arizona State Senate and House that would allow business owners to use their religious beliefs as a means of refusing service to gays. The bill passed has been sent to the state’s Republican governor.
