'Christian' owners of B&B in U.K. acted unlawfully when they denied room to gay couple

This news from across the pond is refreshing. Hat tip to Blender WoodsideMatt, who said "as someone who was received a "good talking to" from a hotel manager in england when I showed up for my double room with my partner of 5 years, I was very heartened to read of this verdict." (Sky News):



The Christian owners of a seaside guesthouse acted unlawfully by refusing to let a gay couple share a double bed, a judge has ruled in a landmark case.

Peter and Hazelmary Bull did not allow civil partners Martyn Hall and Steven Preddy to use a double room in their Cornwall B&B because it would be "an affront to their faith". However, a judge at Bristol County Court said the couple were breaking the law by denying the men a room.

Look at the sour couple who owns the B&B -- the Bulls -- who have to pay out ?1,800 in damages to Mr. Hall and Mr. Preddy:
