It's got nothing to with 'Gay Rights' as such, it's about equality.

The B&B owners said they didn't allow unmarried couples to share a double bed which personally wouldn't fall foul of any laws as long as you apply it equally - however the gay couple were civil partners, which currently is as close as you can get in the UK to marriage for same sex couples. As far as I understand it, because they were then treated differently, that was the issue.

Should bouncers allow anyone in to their nightclubs? Should the gents be open to ladies?
Bouncers can't discrimitate by sexuality, age, or colour, so why should a B&B. Also quite a lot of clubs and other venues these days operate mixed toilet facilities
