You honestly blame them for being pissed off?

I would have done the same tbh. Not that I'd be in that situation, but I can understand why they took it further :/

The bible says you can't wear two material woven together.

Was it really a surprise?

I mean come on, with a name like Hazelmary I'm surprised they didn't give her life imprisonment.

Anyway, its a good thing it went to court.

Might show other people that religion isnt to be used as an escuse for prejudice...

well done

can you tell us what part of the Bible and what context and what does the passage as whole convey?

It is total waste of court time and money, just so these 2 grown men could make a pathetic point.

It is evident that they dont have families/responsibilities to look after as they have time to do stupid things like this

In what way is their point pathetic?

Not if they're running a business. Doesn't matter if it's their own roof or not, they have to adhere to the law - and the law clearly states that they cannot discriminate.

If that conflicts with their religious beliefs then they shouldn't have that type of business.

That's from Lextivius or w/e. And who cares, the bible clearly says all sorts of dumb contradictory sh!t - being gay is wrong (when it can't be helped) it one of those things. You're an idiot for believing something you can't help is wrong.

I don't think a B&B should be classified as if it were a hotel - it is after all a person's OWN home from which they let out rooms so surely they are entitled to decide who they have under their roof as their paying guests?

"You're an idiot for believing something you can't help is wrong"

I dont think it is wrong?

It is rare but not wrong.

Again, I bring the random point...

So should it also be ok for them to turn away all ethnic minorities?

Disabled people?

People with children?

Etc. etc.

Just on the basis that they do not want them there?

i agree with this.

some places don't allow people with children or disabled though.

It is ok and happens every day in the UK

"sorry we are full"

clever owners use a little tactics to deter who they do not want. just like bouncers do on doors of clubs and pubs (gay ones too)

Yeah you'll find a fair few pubs which dont allow children in

What's rare? You being right? Yeah. :)

Children I say is a fair point actually. As they could wreck the rooms. Disabled people...possibly they dont have the amenities that a disabled person would need...Ie starilifts or whatever.

I was just thinking of random examples :p

yo need some better examples gurl :elephant:

no, homosexuality is a rare occurrence in the world - the fact that many flock to entertainment industry and forums like this skews peoples perception but it is very small percentage.

OK then, use the minorities example then :tongue:

Please just kill yourself. :laugh3:

If you run your home as a business, it's a business. It's their choice whether they live there or not - it makes no difference. You have to run your business within the guidelines of the law.

Do you think if they lived elsewhere they would then accept this gay couple? I think their atittude would be no different.

You can't descriminate against gay people any more than you could black people. It's as simple as that.

It wasn't just on the basis that they didn't want them there, it was because it was a major conflict of their christian beliefs, and I do not believe for one moment that if the B&B owners were muslims, that this gay couple would have won their case - after all Islam also does not condone homosexuality - more so even than Christianity - or are you suggesting that only Christians should have to compromise their beliefs?

As regards disabled people, people with children and ethnic minorities, there is nothing in Christianity that says any of these groups are anathema to a Christian God.

Gay people do make up a small percentage though :conf2:
