But then I suppose if you'rerunning a public business it's not fair to discriminate with that, I don't know but I don't think it's a black and white issue

If that was the case then you have to wonder why the couple thought it would be a good idea to stay there. Perhaps they wanted to force the issue and promote equality for same sex couples using the protection the law affords them to highlight the discriminatory views of the B&B owners.
