A pizzeria in Red Bank, Tennessee, faces backlash after announcing it will not cater gay weddings due to personal beliefs.

A pizzeria in Red Bank, Tennessee that announced on social media it would not cater gay weddings faced a split reaction from its customers. The controversy began when the Pizzeria Cortile on Dayton Boulevard responded to a query about catering same-sex weddings, stating that they do not. The restaurant subsequently issued a statement explaining their decision was based on personal beliefs and apologized for any hurt caused.
