11. You know how the right is always flying "false flags"

Sandy Hook didn't happen, we didn't land on the moon, there was no Boston bombing....
The more I hear about this story the worse it smells.
Exactly where is this gay couple who were denied services? Does anyone have a link to an interview with them? Because I'm not seeing it. Everyone is talking about the owners, not with the people who were offended.
Which makes me wonder....was there ever a couple? Or was this some Rwing asshole stiring the pot? Possibly even the owner himself?
Oh poor me, look how persecuted I am! My business sucked and I had to do SOMETHING to get some free press. I mean, it worked for that chicken place. Hey, I know, lets start a crowd fund and see how much money we can get.
These owners rolled over and played dead WAY to fast for me to think this wasn't planned.
