The owner of Memories Pizza in Walkerton, Ind., Kevin O'Connor, 61, closed his shop last week, days after the parlor's stance against gay marriage was reported and ignited controversy.

The incident prompted Indiana Gov. Mike Pence to modify the state's the Religious Freedom Restoration Act so that it's clear that discrimination is not legal in the state.

As of April 4, O'Connor had raised over $8,000 in donations after staffer's from Dana Loesch's conservative talk show, The Blaze, set up a a GoFundMe page for him and his family to "relieve the financial loss endured by the proprietors' stand for faith."
