Yeah but the question was whether the policy targetted gay people specifically or all married couples as was the official line. The judge ruled that seeing as they still didnt allow those who are gay and in a civil partnership that the policy did discriminate on the basis of sexuality.

I think if it was a gay couple who were not in a civil partnership then they would not have been prosecuted
