>For instance, the Indiana pizza shop that said they have no problem with people of different orientations coming into their pizza shop - but they would draw the line on physically attending and catering certain weddings. Their position is reasonable. Forcing them to show up and cater is a clear violation of their First Amendment rights - but that didn't stop a rather large number of people from making death threats and from phoning in enough phony orders that they had to close down. This was a story that did not receive enough attention in the media, of just how far the political left will go.

Why did they say anything? Who asks a pizza shop to cater a wedding? I think they spoke out to get attention (presumably to get more business from those who agreed with them) and never considered that it cuts both ways, especially in this era of social media.

Obviously, death threats are totally unacceptable, and anyone making a credible death threat should be prosecuted. Of course, that's also true for all the creeps who make the Internet unsafe for so many women.
