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

People don't choose to be gay any more than they choose to be male, female, black or white. What a ridiculous thing to say.
But the heart of this issue has nothing to do with what the couple are - whether by choice or not - and it has everything to do with what they chose to do.

The hoteliers did not tell them they couldn't stay. They didn't tell them they didn't want people of that sexual orientation under their roof. They simply made clear what behaviour is and is not acceptable under their roof.

And such human behaviour is a matter of choice.
