We've just booked accomodation for a short getaway, and the website stated that if you wanted to book the place for an all male or all female party you should call ahead to discuss terms. I presume this is because they don't want stag/hen parties. As far as I'm aware the people running the place are within their rights to do this. They just can't do it on the basis of sexual orientation.

It's been made clear several times now that the hotel does not have a 'no gays' policy. Homosexual couples are welcome to stay there just like anyone is.
I'm sure some parts of the media are painting this as "nasty Christian hoteliers ban gays from staying" but as usual, that isn't the case. The gay couple chose not to stay there.
