Arizona Pizzeria Refuses to Serve Legislators Posted by David Zimmerman February 22, 2014 08:22 AM Boston Spirit http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/blogs/bostonspirit/ 2014/02/arizona_pizzeria_refuses_to_se.html . A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/p53pm6m . .In the wake of Arizona's legislature recently passing a law that allows for discrimination (under the guise of religious freedom), a pizzeria in Tucson has decided that it will no longer serve Arizona legislators.
.Rocco's Little Chicago Pizza is taking a stand against the politicians who have voted in favor of Senate Bill 1062 which gives Arizona business owners the right to deny service to gays and others on the basis of religious freedom.
.On Thursday the pizzeria posted a photo to its Facebook page (seen above) along with the message ""Funny how just being decent is starting to seem radical these days."
."A customer posted the sign to my Facebook feed, so I printed it up and laminated it," owner Anthony Rocco DiGrazia told The Huffington Post Friday (via Facebook). "The response has been overwhelming and almost all positive from across the globe. I just want to serve dinner and own and work in a place I'm proud of. Opening the door to government-sanctioned discrimination, regardless of why, is a huge step in the wrong direction. Thanks for all the support."
. snip .From the Democratic side Senator Anna Tovar had this to say, "SB 1062 permits discrimination under the guise of religious freedom. With the express consent of Republicans in this Legislature, many Arizonans will find themselves members of a separate and unequal class under this law because of their sexual orientation. This bill may also open the door to discriminate based on race, familial status, religion, sex, national origin, age or disability."
