    They lost their case, anyway. It was in the news a wee while back.

    BBC News - Christian hoteliers appeal against ban on gay couple

    But it seems that the Gay Gestapo aren't all that innocent. Turns out they got wind of this couple's policy, then set them up by having these two men make a booking where they deliberately did not indicate their sexual orientation. Then when the two gay men are turned away - hey presto, you're sued! Cue fake moral outrage from the Gestapo and the rest of the establishment falling over themselves to be seen as PC.

    Surely the Gay Gestapo have better things to do than bullying an elderly couple like this.

    I hope the tossers responsibe are proud of themselves, I really do. Why go out of your way to force your lifestyle down the throats of people who obviously don't want it. The elderly owners don't stand in gay clubs preaching the gospel do they? We are ALL allowed our OWN beliefs not just the crusaders

    I'm struggling at how to put what I'm feeling into words about these gay "heros." Actions like this only harm relations between the different factions of socity. Time for them to stop the crusade and get on with their lives in peace - what we all want!

    There is nothing in the article to suggest that any third party was involved.

    Where are you getting your information from?

    Looks like you didn't read the article.

    Two guys try to book a room and are refused - where are you getting the 'hero' angle from?

    The hero gays trying to pick a fight thats not there as usual.

    If they turned away a known peado no one would care - ITS THEIR HOME they have a RIGHT to turn away people they do not want in their own home.

    Agree Mousey. That is quite weak imo.

    I have to ask the question once again - where are you getting the information that they were bullied?

    Could asking, presumably politely, for a room constitute bullying?

    Could highlighting discrimination constitute bullying?

    I think that is a leap too far to accuse anyone of bullying, given the information presented in the article, but please feel free to share if you have additional information

    Rayden is not quoting information, he's agreeing with my personal opinion in my earlier post that this couple was being bullied by the Gay Gestapo.

    Your statement in this post is mostly correct - highlighting discrimination is generally not bullying.
