Well, no, I don't. If something is wrong, it's wrong, and it should be opposed.
I think there are two quite separate issues here:
1) The hotelier's beliefs are as valid as the gay couples
2) Discrimination against minorities should not be allowed.
The answer to this dichotomy is, I believe, given in the title of the thread. The hoteliers have chosen a business which is inevitably going to clash with their beliefs.
