The difference is, I think, that a gay or unmarried heterosexual couple would know that Muslims would be against them sharing a bed and would not put them in the position where they had to refuse. Christians aren't take that seriously though, which is strange in a supposedly Christian country.

Oh, and a word about Nick Griffin: tosser... dangerous tosser.

Yes it would be interesting to see if the situation was changed to a Muslim B&B would they turn away a gay couple (Muslim or Christian). And would the gay couple sue in the way this couple have. Both religions have minorities within that do not acknowledge same sex relationships but the law applies to both as they cannot discriminate in this way.

My own view however is that a Muslim B&B who did discriminate this way would also discriminate against non muslims (gay or straight) and as such it is unlikely they would want bookings from both groups.
