UK Christian bed and breakfast owner fined for turning away homosexuals

A judge has ruled that the Christian owner of a bed and breakfast broke equality laws in refusing a bed to a homosexual couple and ordered her to pay £3,600 in damages.

Susanne Wilkinson, who owns the Swiss B&B in Cookham, Berkshire, has been ordered to pay compensation for “injury to feelings” to two men she turned away, because she rents rooms in her family-owned business only to married couples.

Last January, homosexual couple Michael Black, 63, and John Morgan, 58, sued Mrs. Wilkinson for discrimination after she informed the two men that “it is against my convictions for two men to share a bed.” She added, “This is my private home.” Mrs. Wilkinson returned their deposit and asked them, politely, to leave.

    Do they have legal gay marriage there? Didn’t the woman say she doesn’t rent to unmarried couples?

    I suppose “injury to feelings” is now outlawed in UK.

    This is EXACTLY what the left wants here.

    Seeing how England will soon become Englandistan, as it is being overrun by adherents of the “Religion of Peeeeeace”, it will be interesting to see what happens if the poofters try this under Sharia law. Let’s see which religion is more tolerant of poofters, shall we?

    First she should said she was a moose-limb

    Then they would have to pay her for their disturbing lifestyle choice. AND she wouldn’t have to put up with them either.

    In my 60 years of living I have noticed that most women tend to establish relationships with their thoughts or concepts being guided by love or wishing for it. Men on the other hand are socially, instinctively, and biologically driven by “sex”. Love develops later or more slowly. While is quite understandable and natural to see that gays tend to “love” each other sooner or later, it is the MEN who are driven by “sex” as a first priority and as an initial attractant to other men OR women. Gay MEN practice some very disgusting habits……….and that is what differentiates them from gay women. This is not an absolute either way……but is the most prevalent situation. Older gay men tend to become pedophiles much more readily partly because of the male aggressiveness. It’s just the way it is folks. Making your sexual deviancy into a political statement is also unseemly.

    Any business owner should have the right to refuse services or sales to anyone that they choose. I am sorry, but that includes race, gender and religion in my opinion.
    If XYZ company does not want to serve Christians, that should be their choice and there should be no legal reason to stop them. If ABC company hates people with green eyes, that is their choice. If Kosher Is Us Foods wants to serve only Jews then they should have that right to make that decision. If Ghetto Spray Paint Company only wants to sell their product to “urban” youths, then that is what they think will be a sound business choice for their future.
    Any business owner has to make choices as to what is good and bad for their operation. They should have the right to make the choices without the government telling them what to do.
    I think most business would be stupid to limit their customers and turn down business, but it should be their choice.
    In her case, it is her home also and not just a business. She should feel safe to do what she wants in her own home. If a mentally unstable married couple holding a pair of axes was wanting a room, would the government make her rent to them also? What about a nice single person, does she have to rent to them or can she limit it to couples only?
