The case of Mr. & Mrs. Bull, the B&B owners who refused to allow a homosexual couple to share a double bed back in 2008 have lost their appeal in the Supreme Court.
For my transatlantic readers, a B&B isn't quite the same as a hotel or motel. It is usually a private house (often quite small) where some of the bedrooms are rented out. The owners live in the house.
Despite the fact that it was proved that Mr. & Mrs. Bull applied their policy to all unmarried couples equally, the court ruled that the policy constituted illegal discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation.
I don't quite get it - maybe I'm missing something here. A heterosexual unmarried couple could be refused a double bed, but refusing one to a homosexual unmarried couple is discriminatory...
So, one rule for heterosexuals and a completely different one for homosexuals.
And that is meant to be equality?
I suppose that, if the powers-that-be can redefine "marriage" then they can redefine "equality" too...
Not only that, but also this:

QED
There's nothing so powerful as victimhood, the new religion. Unless, of course, you are a Christian.
ReplyDeleteNothing so powerful as ruthless aggression, disguised as lurve, in pursuance of your aims.
Truly we are in Humpty Dumpty-land and our hierarchy remains silent.
I'd seen that story too and it also burns me. Especially as it IS, apparently okay to refuse an unmarried heter couple, but not a homosexual one. Homosexual couples are now the "persecuted" class, according to the government (and not just yours) -- when in reality they are the ones doing the persecuting.
ReplyDeleteIt was never about anything but persecuting Christians and any others who don't think homosexuality is okay. It's not even about normalizing it; it's about enforcement.
