If a B&B owner doesn't want a gay couple staying there, then IMO he is entitled to his decision and should not be forced to let them in. Whether or not his decision is the correct one is surely irrelevant.. and the owner could be slated in the press, looked down upon etc but at the end of the day its still his/her decision.

Its not like being rejected from one B&B means the gay couple then can't go on holiday.. There'll be plenty of places that will accept them.

..but when you make a booking at any b&b or hotel you don't have to write down your sexual orientation, ethnicity, beliefs; that would be silly. To be turned away at the door because you are gay is ridiculous when you've already paid and quite offensive if it is a private property.

Would you think that if we weren't talking about homosexuals, and we were talking about black people? Wouldn't you think that would be totally racist and illegal? Those black people could still go anywhere else, but by not being allowed inside the place, the owners would be breaking laws.

I actually searched a bit about this, and in the UK (where this B&B thing happened), the LGBS (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) rights clearly state that there is a law that ''bans all anti-gay discrimination''.

God your general logic around this issue is so flawed it's hurting my face.

Regarding the poll: No I don't think gay people should be treated the same as other humans. That's just plain wrong am I right guys?

Then you'd be entitled to your money back which is probably stated in contract law somewhere. People being allowed to get refuse business doesn't mean gays automatically become subject to different laws.
