Very, very sad

From the article:

 

"Britain ought to be a country of freedom and tolerance, but it seems religious beliefs must play second fiddle to the new orthodoxy of political correctness."

 

Christian Institute spokesman Mike Judge said: "What this case shows is that the powers of political correctness have reached all the way to the top of the judicial tree. So much so that even the Supreme Court dare not say anything against gay rights."

 

Sad, but not too surprising. This will be coming to the US before long, if there isn't a case going through the courts somewhere already.

In this day and age of political correctness and potential money-making lawsuits, it was easy for the 'gay' couple to harass these people instead of walking away and finding another B&B to spend the night.

What if there were no other B&Bs available?

 

What if it were a gay B&B and they decided not to rent to Christians who needed a place to stay?

 

What if it were a pregnant unmarried couple from Bethlehem?

This was the correct ruling.

 

There is no place for 'legalized' discrimination in society if one wants to operate a public business.

I think that the homosexual community has gotten so big that a business can not descriminate.

"We are just ordinary Christians who believe in the importance of marriage as the union of one man and one woman.

"Our B&B is not just our business, it's our home. All we have ever tried to do is live according to our own values, under our own roof.

"These beliefs are not based on hostility to anyone - we certainly bear no ill will to Steven and Martyn. Our policy is based on our  sincere beliefs about marriage.

 

 

To be consistent Mr and Mrs Bull should have refused admittance to any unmarried heterosexual couple as well. Maybe they did without notice.

This is probably a landmark case now, and homosexuals will feel that they have the authority to do as they please, well that is until the Muslims go after them. Such irony!

Hello WillowWood what do you think homosexuals will now be doing which will be different from any sinner ?

This is sad. It is from my understanding that the business owners did not rent to any one that was not married (as in a couple who wanted a room). I think it is there right to refuse service especially since they decided not to rent to anyone who was not married (unmarried couple) so heterosexuals and homosexuals were both turned away. Since they turn away both heterosexual and homosexual I don't think they discriminate based on sexual orientation but on holy matrimony. But it's just another attack on religious liberty same as with the Arizona (?) wedding photographer who didn't want to photograph a homosexual wedding and was sued or the cake owner's who didn't want to bake a cake for a homosexual wedding and was sued. Why not choose a different B&B, wedding photographer or cake owner? It lies within the belief that such ideas (mainly Christian one's so far) should not be tolerated and thus suffer persecution in the hopes that such ideas stop existing.
