Top Tory: 'Let B&Bs Turn Away Gay Couples'

[cirisse]

Bed and breakfasts run by Christians should be allowed to turn away gay couples on religious grounds, a leading Conservative has said.

Shadow home secretary Chris Grayling said hotels should not be allowed to discriminate against homosexuals.

But, in a secret recording, he suggested individuals should have the right to decide who stays in their home

Yet another reason no queer person with a brain should vote for these gits.

One time they turned a couple away from a B&B, and JESUS WAS BORN.

Bring it bitches.

MUHA.

.... I dunno, it stands to reason that Jesus was going to be born that night regardless of where Mary was.

Straights only businesses are fine with the Tories it seems.

Any GBLT person who votes for these guys is making a rod for all our backs. They keep spouting pretty speeches but their true colours come shining through

Barney Frank says it best, I think, re: LGBT people voting conservative (albeit referring to the Republicans, not the Conservative party, but same principle):

If you turn your home into a business you subsequently open it to whomever comes by for business, and you thus cannot turn away members of protected categories by reason of membership in that category. If you don't want gay people in your home, don't run a bed & breakfast. Duh.

MTE. If you're that keen to control what people "come into your own home," then why on earth would you open up a B&B in the first place? If you're going to run a business out of your home, then don't be surprised when the laws that apply to every other business now magically apply to your home.
