You DO like going round in circles, don't you? Unacceptable if the reason given is that they are gay.

What about all these B&B's that state no groups of lads or girls??
They are happy to have a family of 4 but not a group of friends,but who complains about that???

When its his house he could say "you aint coming in cos the colour of your shirt offends me" if he wished. His house, his land, he paid for it, his choice.
I don't entirely agree with his obvious homophopic atitude but his choice of who does/who does NOT come into his house still stands and is totally valid.

Usually in Blackpool and dumps like that. They get too roudy and cause problems. Again, owners discretion.
There are get arounds though.

Yep,but as i said no one complains or makes a big fuss,so why should a gay couple get greater rights to stay somewhere than a group of friends?

I wouldn't want two blokes bumming in my house either. He may have children etc etc.
His house, his rules.
I'm not a homophobe but I believe that in his house he has the right. He said you can stay, just not in the same room. Fair play IMO.
PMSL, quality post and straight to the point well said

i never said anything about homosexuality should be illegal,i meant what gives these people the right to harass a hard working business man because he refused them a room,why should he have to be p.c. about the reason?
