quisquose   10 #37 Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) If someone breaks the law by breaking into my house I wouldn't get damages awarded by the court...  You would be welcome to take the <REMOVED> to court in a civil action to seek damages.  It rarely happens because <REMOVED> are usually broke.

altus   540 #38 Posted January 18, 2011 What happened to "Management have the right to refuse admission" The law trumps signs put up by management. Which is also the reason why publicans can't put up signs saying "Management allows smoking on these premises". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Kthebean   10 #39 Posted January 18, 2011 I wonder...I just wonder...what the reaction would be if it had been a gay couple who had refused access to their hotel because a person was wearing a Catholic cross round their neck?

Hots on   10 #40 Posted January 18, 2011 I wonder...I just wonder...what the reaction would be if it had been a gay couple who had refused access to their hotel because a person was wearing a Catholic cross round their neck?  Or if the hotel owners refusing a gay couple were Muslims.

Jessica23 Â Â 10 #41 Posted January 18, 2011 [...] This lack of empathy for others just goes to prove, in my opinion, that they are bigots first and Christians second. Â Exactly so. Â I'm glad this couple took them to court and I'm glad they won. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Fishcake   10 #42 Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) The gays are everywhere now! How can they be expected to expect the same treatment as normal folk? They'll be on TV next or in government or looking like normal people! I am appalled that these vile law breakers have been given this attention............Whats that you say? It isn't illegal? Oh and they are normal people! Oh well then I see nothing wrong with a loving couple wanting to stop in premises advertised as being for the purposes of people staying there.

mynameisdan   10 #45 Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) I think I saw a 'gay' the other day. Covered in feathers, webbed feet and a huge yellow bill. . . . it was in the water at Endcliffe Park eating the bread people were throwing at it.  Later that night I saw two ducks <REMOVED> in the bushes.

flamingjimmy   10 #46 Posted January 18, 2011 I wonder...I just wonder...what the reaction would be if it had been a gay couple who had refused access to their hotel because a person was wearing a Catholic cross round their neck?  I think it would be pretty similar, why wouldn't it?

spindrift   10 #47 Posted January 18, 2011 I bet they would have had no problem welcoming a butch, straight male like Alexander The Great, Cary Grant or Rock Hudson. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
llamatron   10 #48 Posted January 18, 2011 I think someone running a b&b should have the right to refuse entry to their home on any grounds. Partially because if they had let them stay they would do it begrudgingly.  I'd prefer to know whether or not Im staying at the home of someone that actively hates my beliefs rather than them having to hide their hatred for legal reasons!  If I had a b&b I wouldn't want overtly religious people staying! or smelly people or racist people.....in fact I probably wouldn't have any customers:hihi: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
