Quote:A CHRISTIAN couple who refused to let two gay men share a bed at their bed and breakfast guest house yesterday lost an appeal against paying them thousands of pounds damages.
Peter and Hazelmary Bull had denied sexual discrimination, saying their ban on the men was “religiously informed” because they believed sex outside marriage was a sin.
They were ordered to pay the men £3,600 damages for sex discrimination after refusing Steven Preddy and Martyn Hall a double room at their guest house in Marazion, Cornwall.
Yesterday Mike Judge of the Christian Institute said the Supreme Court ruling by five judges “shows that the powers of political correctness have reached all the way to the top of the judicial tree”. Mr Bull, 74, and his wife, 69, said they were “deeply disappointed and saddened”.
Mrs Bull said: “These beliefs are not based on hostility to anyone. Our policy is based on our sincere beliefs about marriage. Britain ought to be a country of freedom and tolerance but it seems religious beliefs must play second fiddle to the new orthodoxy of political correctness.
“The judges have side-stepped that big issue and reinforced the notion that gay rights must trump everything else.” She added: “We ask Parliament to take a serious look at how Christians with traditional beliefs are being left out in the cold.”

Just more dumb theists trying to hide their bigotry behind their silly religious convictions.
I doubt the gay men would have won the case in America.
