It might do.

No, it really wouldn't. Gary, in all seriousness I think the concepts under discussion here may be a tad beyond you.

Ok. I'll go and do the washing up then :(

I just realised I only had the mug to wash.

it might matter if a gay couple were turned away for another reason other than being gay, because they may look at it that the person was just using that as an excuse.

it was their own fault for giving the real reason.

In the article it says the couple where turned away for being unmarried ,acording to the owners it was the unmarried bit they objected to so i am struggling to understand how they make a living given the number of unmarried couples out there who have weekends away

It is stories like this that make me proud I summoned the strength to just walk away from a quite successful business venture I had worked hard for several years to put together having later discovered my gay associates where not suitable and that as is often the case had ulterior motives they had concealed from me. I have to say I am glad today I made that decision as criminal cases past present and future will be an ongoing situation from my ordeal once I realised I was being both used and bought. I will never work for or with or serve such like minded people again period, I would prefer to spend whats left in solitary confinement than bow down to those who encourage such behaviour amongst men especially to the younger generation wether below the age of consent or not.

This is a clear breach of article 9 of the human rights act, these people have had that right denied to them by the law in their place of business of which I hasten to add is a business that is often also ones home.

The law has violated these peoples right to moral conscience regardless of its foundation within their home and business and I dont doubt as a consequence placed them in a position of serious personal and economical compromise.

Presumably, the heterosexual couples weren't turned away, but merely stopped from sharing a double bed?

Does it say that though? From my limited knowledge of this case (happy to be proven wrong) it seems she refused them a double room and they chose (albeit dramatically) to leave.

It would seem she has done the same with unmarried hetro couples.
