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.

I'm also assuming the hotel gave them the option of a twin bed room. These guys could have simply moved the beds together and snuggled up nice and close. I do think that after listening and reading all the facts the gay couple involved are stirring this more for personal gain and making a name for themselves as opposed to any equal rights issues. If you know that a hotel is a christian run establishment, and you know what sleeping arrangements it lays down then turning up expecting something different, in my opinion is just making trouble. There are other ways to complain about your rights, its not like these two got an unknown suprise when they got there.if the courts do find in favour of the couple i only hope that any compensation they receive covers the cost of petrol at the most. 5k? You're having a laugh.
