IMO, yet another miscarraige of justice...  Sure if they have a policy of non married couples sharing a double bed, then they should be able to uphold that policy.   I really beleive that they have made the law fit the case...

Thats a ludicrous thing to say. .......methinks we are trying to engage in an interesting exchange of views and opinions with a closed and brainwashed mind.
For all you know I may be Gay. I am standing up for what I believe to be the rights of a couple who happen to be Christian, although Im not a Christian. Its nothing to do with my own personal religious beliefs, or orientation. Im simply saying it because I believe it to be right.
Maybe you dont believe I should have the right to do that ?
The veiled threat ?...of "I fear you may be........." would possibly suggest so.

Scratch his eyes out Albs.

I don't like blokes doing that stuff to eachother but that's only an opinion right or wrong. If that's what they want to do i accept the should be able to. I'm not suggesting they should be outlawed or persecuted in any way. By the same count the B&B owners should be able to decide who they want or don't want on thier premises for whatever reason. I've already mentioned the crash helmet/religeious dress issue, & can't a publican still refuse to serve some one without giving a reason? There is plenty of room for gays, smokers & religions without the law getting there oar in and stirring things up. Once again let folk decide for themselves & everyone would be catered for.
   Methinks the law has chased it's own tail so fast it's bitten it's own arse because none of this ties up. Shame on the judge. Guy.

I remember when this first happened & forgot about it til i heard the outcome today. It's a tough one to call in many ways. I know the world has moved on from dark ages prejudices regarding racism, sexuality, religion etc & mainly for the better. I'm very liberal regarding racism. S.P 32 is as black as your hat but you could'nt meet a better natured bloke. He's always smiling & i consider him a mate. I have no interest in religion other than i think it's all a bit silly & is to blame for the odd spat between countries but i know many folk take comfort from thier beliefs & should be entitled to do so. (fanatics are another issue entirely).
    These folk are Christians. Does'nt the bible frown on homo sexuality? Man shall not lay down with man or something?
    If you ride a motorbike onto a garage forecourt/supermarket there are signs telling you to remove all headgear to prevent hold ups etc. If you are of a certain religion you are exempt from wearing the crash helmet in the first place or you can cover your face with the burka? veil thing. So religion stands up in these cases but not in the case in question,. If this couple don't want this sort of thing going on under thier roof they should have the right to say so regardless of the business they run. I would'nt. Sorry but i just would'nt.
    I believe some hotels have rooms for smokers despite the pub ban. Would'nt the world be a better place if folk could decide for themselves. You can smoke in this pub/restaurant but not in this one. Gay men can share a room in this hotel but not that one?
    If the hoteliers/publicans were left to decide who could/could'nt smoke/sleep together i reckon we would have a healthy balance of establishnents to suit all tastes.

   There are so many laws here they just don't add up.

I don't know if "Bent Valve" is looking like such a good choice of moniker, having read what you think.

Presumably, and I'm no expert mind, that the charming "devout christian" couple take no money on a Sunday?

Thought not.

Funny how religion is used to excuse the least tolerant of behaviour in society

Thats a ludicrous thing to say. >:(That sentence was alluding to the fact that it wasnt uncommon 30 years ago to encounter what was reffered to "queer bashing" and the fact that the world (or this part of it) has moved on a long way since then........methinks we are trying to engage in an interesting exchange of views and opinions with a closed and brainwashed mind.

I would also be interested in your opinion on the fact that there are many hotels which specifically cater for Gays. Is their existence not discriminatory against hetrosexuals ?

Have you told your girlfriend?

You didn't get anything right wrong. You never get anything right wrong. You are always wrong right
