Why does anyone who has an opinion on any situation to do with homosexuals labeled a homophobe. Yet homosexuals and lesbians expect to be able to insult anyone regardless?::pat:

Umm. No they don't! What kind of generalization is that?

Ps Homosexuals and lesbians? Lesbians are homosexuals. Just a pernickity sidenote.

The christian institute support homophobes imo. You think the following quote is "just having an opinion on any situation to do with homosexuals"?....

Do you think this lady is "just having an opinion on any situation to do with homosexuals"

They're not only homophobes but dangerous too.

There has always been a distinction between lesbian and homosexual, until the word 'gay' was hijacked from the dictionary and the meaning changed for their benefit, to make them more 'fashionable' and acceptable? When, and by whom I don't know, but they seem to have got away with it. It's the same with a lot of minority groups they get equality but then have to want more!

Hide your dictionarys, the queers are coming!

Imagine if it were a black or asian couple they had refused...

Reading some of the comments on here it's obvious equal opportunity still has some way to go yet.

Nobody is trying to persecute a couple for their faith,but rather the couple are ramming their faith down the throats of those with differing views to them while making a living from a business they have set up to make money from by setting aside part of the building they own for the purpose.

They can be Christians, but the true essence of Christianity is understanding, tolerance and forgiveness, this couple showed none of those attributes.

They opened a business,that is what part of their former home has become,its no longer fully just their home, it makes them money and since it involves dealing with the public face to face and the publics needs, then there is no place at all for discrimination of any kind.

That is what people are getting at this couple for, for discriminating against certain legitimate members of the public,not for being Christians.

I would imagine black and asian people get turned away all the time, as well as young blokes.


sorry we are full

Even 'harmless old couples' are not above the law. Why should there be an exception made based on age?

If they'd have said "Sorry we've made an error with the booking" or "There's been a leak and in accordance with H&S we cannot let that room" or, yes, "We're full" there wouldn't have been a problem other than a bit of inconvenience. But to be so smug and 'holier than thou' about it has cost them dearly.
