Homosexual couple sue Christian hotel owners for refusing them a double room

Martyn Hall, who lives with civil partner Steven Preddy, has lodged a county court claim for £5,000 in damages, alleging 'direct discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation' against the hotel owners, Peter and Hazelmary Bull.

The question is, are these people the injured party, or are they simply trying to make a point for points sake by going against the Christian values which it appears they would have been fully aware of in advance.

Why should a couples sexual preferences be respected more than a couple's religious belief? Both are a matter of choice, so either both should be protected, or neither!

Would there be the same case if a Muslim run establishment had objected, I think not, since political correctness gone mad demands that we avoid offending every race and religion except our own (and mine varies between Agnostic / C of E by default).
