I'm not bothered, I am amazed about the "hype & hoopla".

Having perused this thread, i'd be inclined to agree with the AP/RB5 standpoint.
It's his house/business, he should be able to refuse or accept whoever he likes, for whatever reason he likes.
I'd go further too, if said B&B fella doesn't agree with ar$e banditry then he should be allowed to tell them whatever the f*** he likes while they're on his property.
Maybe you don't agree, but that's my opinion.

I suppose it's still his house so he can make the rules - but it's a real shame so many people are so narrow minded. 
Has anyone mentioned the fact that all the Sandals resorts are for mixed sex couples only...?
If I'd ever even been tempted to go I'd refuse to now on principle - no one has the right to try to dictate to anyone else how they should or shouldn't live their lives.

I had 2 gays living next door to me for 10 years. I got on well with both of them as I do with all my neighbours. Doesnt mean that you have to accept them as "normal" people which I most certainly dont.

What constitutes "normal" in our world?

The fact that if everyone was gay then within 80 years all humans would be extinct.
We have a natural process for reproduction. Homosexuality is odd, no doubt about it....however I have no problem with it. I know homosexual men (not women unfortunately) and they are fine. Nice people, like everyone else they have their pro's and cons but whom they "like" is not my concern.

Maybe this should be illegal too.

Let's assume 10% of the population are gay.
Let's assume 10% of the population are disabled (some at birth, some through accidents etc).
Are you saying the disabled are not "normal" either?
The point is, there's more to the life of a human than :
a) their sexuality
b) their disability

Would you like it if you had 2 fingers missing and people automatically classed you as not "normal" in all aspects of your life?

Too many laws are made these days concerning and protecting minorities whether they be homosexual, black, disabled etc.
It's about time the majority were allowed to have a voice as well without being persecuted for saying what they think. They say we have freedom of speech in the UK. Well if we have, then stop moaning when someone says or does something that others dont necessarilly like.

What pisses me off is the 'gay rights' thang than this government has pandered to. No problem, good on the gays, but why have they suddenly got more legal rights than hetrosexual non married people? This country and its laws are a **** up.

No persecution, no need for the laws.

the disabled are not "normal" - "normal" people get up at 7:30, walk to their car, go to work, spend all day bored, come home, kiss the wife, watch telly, go to bed, hump the wife,fall asleep,get up at 7:30, walk to their car........ the list is endless and taken here with a pinch of salt.
if you do something that is away from the norm,you are not "normal" , doesnt make you any less of a person, just different.
