HRA though is so overused and could be twisted in mosts groups favor... It does though beg the question as to how far do you go...If the discrimination laws covering this are agianst the true spirit of the HRA then surely the laws would never have been passed especially in such a modern world...
Also then surely non-religious people within the HRA have a right not to be dictated to by religious people.... If the HRA comes into it then this argument will go backwards/forwards forever and ever..
Perhaps in this case then there's been failures on both sides...the patrons should have perhaps queried the "no unmarried couples" rule and the hoteliers should have queried the patrons request more suitably..
All this arguement is I think do to one word "HETROSEXUAL" that may or may not have bbeen said....
It is going to make an intersting court case....if it ever gets that far
