What would you have done?

I've been avoiding reading this thread all day but I gave in eventually and what happens?? I kind of fancy a bit of cock myself now.

Anyone in the Bristol area feeling the same way? We could help one another out.

Good word.

Gay or not I'd be annoyed if I had to find a room last minute when I already had one to share with my mate.

Anyway, BB owners in this position should just say they've made a mistake and double booked. That's what the airlines do when they think your a gay.

mudshark – I was just under the impression airlines like to discriminate against travellers?

edit – just realised there's multiple meanings there – I mean people travelling by air.. (In other words, all their customers)

4 pages and still going strong,not a sign of any limp wristedness so far.

Hiya all.

nah – they let you take a caravan with you

You'll have to explain to me how a B&B is completely different to a hotel

A B&B is someones home as well as being a commercial enterprise and is not a public place like a hotel. While I do not agree with the the owner I believe it is her right to choose who she rents a room to.

So she has the right to discriminate? Would "no blacks" be acceptable?

The law is really clear – you must not discriminate when you are providing goods or services

Hate filled trolls get another 100+ post thread, hats off to them. To save me having to read this, can someone start a seperate thread to let me know who has won?

Would "no blacks" be acceptable?

Depends if they were gay or not.

Seriously though, there are far more important things in the world than a homophobic landlady. The BBC is showing it on the news now. I would be fascinated to see what happens to her bookings for the summer.

Its not a case of whos won or lost,its just a discussion about bigotry, and discrimination,that is all around us,some openly discriminateing and some who are just evil.

Interesting thread this ……. and very revealing.

I sometimes forget that MTBing takes all sorts.

And it clearly includes those who have Victorian attitudes towards sections of our society.

Strangely enough though, these characters always seem have a somewhat more liberal attitude towards their own behaviour.

Yep you win, it's a knock out discussion with real poignant insights on the topic. I'll just retire back to my huge arse dildo.

Mr Black and Mr Morgan were* in the village

* Insert – 'the only gays' – here

… and the news has revealed that the B&B owner's convictions spring from – wait for it – christianity.

What a surprise.

I think I alluded to religious bollocks earlier

If its a biblical thing then I imagine it was a lucky escape, the stuff about no bacon and pork is in the bible too so the breakfast would have been rubbish.

Seriously though, there are far more important things in the
world than a homophobic landlady.

So we should just let people get away with all the trivial things then?

Just so we know where we stand, can you rank the following on scale of
importance?

Speeding
Homophobic landladies
Murder
Fiddling HMRC on import duty
Wearing a full face helmet with lycra
Shoplifting
Fiddling expenses

Did I say it was trivial ?

As you asked…..

……There is one heinous crime on your list which stands out and is irrefutably at #1, the perpetrators of which should feel the full force of the law and remain outcasts from society for eternity. I feel dirty and somehow sullied even typing the letters – wearing a full face helmet with lycra <spits>

Couldn't give a monkeys about the rest so can't be bothered sorting them.

it seems there are just more gays around now.

i think it's hereditary!!

heard of several b&bs that wouldn't take unmarried couples.

stayed at a gay b&b – best breakfast burrito i've ever had.

people are always trying to give me and my mate double rooms on biking trips.

make of that what you will…

make of that what you will…

You're gay ?

You're gay ?

what happens in llandudno stays in llandudno! 😯

She's not "getting away" with anything. She considers two men sharing a bed to be immoral, so is perfectly entitled to decline their business. Whether any of us think it's immoral or not isn't the issue. She didn't advocate violence or hatred towards them, just politely said she'd rather they stayed somewhere else.

You'd like to think the police had "proper crimes" to investigate.

These threads are always interesting in that those who preach tolerance of all things are generally the first to be intolerant of anyone who doesn't share their views.

whoosh!

If its a biblical thing then I imagine it was a lucky escape, the stuff about no bacon and pork is in the bible too so the breakfast would have been rubbish.

True, but at least you would have got pure cotton sheets – no mixing of fibres, you see…
