Those gays and the hotel law suit
Do you think the outcome of the sueing by those two gay men against the christian hotel owners would have been the same if the hotel owners were of a different religion (that's equally against homosexuality) such as Islam?

Anyone is entitled to be <<<uneasy with the idea of same sex couples. >>>
That shouldn't stop them from providing the hotel accommodation they were obliged by law to provide in their commercial premises.
That is what they were prosecuted for - not because they were <<<uneasy>>>

Despite what the law says or may not say, I would never go to a place where I was not welcome and making other people uncomfortable in the process. Although they were legally in the right, I think these two guys were just trying it on and have successfully managed to squeeze £3,600 and a lot of publicity out of the system. I have no sympathy for them and I suspect that many gay friends of my acquaintance will feel the same.
This was a set up by Stonewall,
Yesterday, at Bristol County Court Bernie Quinn, who works at the hotel, hinted that Mr Preddy and Mr Hall's booking was a set-up.
Mr Quinn explained that gay rights organisation Stonewall had written to Mr and Mrs Bull a month earlier advising them of new equality legislation.
He told the court that hours before Mr Preddy had made a telephone booking in September 2008 he spoke to a ''Mrs Preddy'' regarding a double room.
The claimants' barrister, Catherine Casserley, asked Mr Quinn: ''Are you suggesting this claim was a set-up?''
Mr Quinn agreed and added: ''It is not beyond the realms of possibility. I have no proof other than the phone call.
''I cannot assume for them what their motivations were or weren't. I assumed, going back to the phone call, that we were expecting a Mr and Mrs Preddy and what arrived was two gentlemen.''
