I think there are 2 issues here,the first is that when booking, perhaps to avoid problems like this,make sure you say you are booking a room for 2 men or 2 women etc.
If there is a follow on question to that then problems of being turned away could be minimalised.
Once accepting the booking and the 2 men there, the coouple should have accepted them and honoured the booking so the judgement today is right.
The 2nd issue is,while its accepted this couple say its their home, they have chosen to make part of their home a business to generate income,the fact that income comes from direct dealing with the public on the premises leaves no argument for discrimination of any kind.
Had they said in their advertisements or literature that they would not accept gay couples etc then an argument for their stance may have had some substance.
In my view if you are operating a business dealing face to face with the public and then discriminate for any supposed reason(I don't accept being Christians as grounds for discrimination,far from it,it should remove any discrimination), then you should face consequences for that,as these did.
Maybe they should be advised to operate a more less direct business from part of their home than full public contact, where being more selective who you deal with could be easier.
