Taking a page from the old book of homophobia I see. There is a clear difference between gays and paedophiles, and it's a matter of consent, if 2 adults (gay or straight) over the age of 16 want to engage in sexual conduct and both consent to it, there is no problem. But with underage sex there can't be consent because the child cannot consent till he/she is 16. And since animals aren't fully sentient they can't consent either. Redering that point void.

It's a shame that my religion has to be paired with such bigoted people. -_-;;; Christianity does NOT give people the right to discriminate on grounds like that...

"Religious freedom" does NOT mean you force your opinion on others, for lack of a better expression.

Love Thy Neighbor As Thine Self.

I think it's ridiculous to say this lady HAS to allow homosexuals to stay at her B&B. If homosexuals should be free to think how they want then so should those against it. She did not harm anyone with her beliefs and therefore she should not be punished. Freedom should work in all directions.

Agree completely :)

She is spot on right, some people do seem to be more equal than others. Agree with societies views and you will be supported otherwise you are fair game to be discriminated against.

@egapnala65 See how they like it? Those people from E.A. ? Perhaps they will after all, good sex is tempting! :))

The most hilarious and ironic thing about this is the fact that it also means an end to all those "Gay Exclusive- Safe Space" holidays and hotels as well. So what we need now is for the Evangelical Alliance to send a few of their people to one of those establishments and see how they like it.
