Again with the 'political correctness'

Monk doesn't want to sit next to female... WHAT?! BIGOTRY! DISCRIMINATION!

Christian won't bake cake for gay... WELL?! IT'S HIS CHOICE BASED ON HIS RELIGIOUS BELIEF.

Over simplifying the situation just a little there.
If monk did'nt want to sit next to female he is entitled to ask for that however the airline should have told them that there were no available gender segregated seats instead of putting them next to a female who had already booked and paid for her seat and making her move for fear of upsetting their religious beliefs.They could have told them to use another airline who caters for religious gender segregation if they want to be guaranteed no females will be near them.

Nope, that is what I see...

It might just not e PC enough for you to notice?

I agree the person booking the flights should have been honest and said their request could not be honoured due to the pre booked seats.
It is not the fault of the monks this lady was affronted.
