Hoteliers who find they're getting a lot of gays spending their honeymoons at their establishments.
Once they get a reputation for being a gays hotel they'll lose an awful lot of their other customers. By law they have to accept gays now regardless of whether they're welcome or not. |

If you give extra rights to one group, you will have to take other rights from another.
Everybody should be concerned when that happens. Because it might be your rights they take away next. |

i dont agree. but anyway, why are the gayers a group? theyre human peoples not aliens. all the peoples should have the same rights. theyre only a group cos other people say they are. nobody ever protests for foot fetishists, swingers or s&m freaks to have equal rights, cos they arent singled out as a "group" by the rest of society. if you stop marginalising people cos theyre "different" then it never becomes an issue in the first place.

By:
why are the gayers a group?
Because the law says they are and they shouldn't be discriminated against. If I run an establishment why should I be made to do business with people that I might not want to do business with? You are effectively banning people with strong religious convictions from running a business lawfully. That's taking away people's rights. |

a) gay people
b) homophobics c) religious people d) do-good liberals Throw in 'people like yourself who make this an issue' and that covers pretty much everyone. If I ran a hotel or B&B (come on everyone, that's got to be worth a 'tee-hee', shurely!) and my religious conviction was that strong that I coldn't countenance two homosexuals staying, but was forced to by the law of the land, then they would be wearing their breakfast, have the sh1ttest room going and I'd stay just this side of law to make their stay as uncomfortable as possible. If I were gay and it was manifestly obvious that a landlord was homophobic, would I actively choose to stay in said establishment. Well I might if I were Peter Tatchell determined to make a big song and dance about it but for 99% of the population, you go out for a night with your partner with the desire to have a pleasant and relaxing time. For the proprietor of a hotel, you want to give a good service so that customers return and it's no business of yours where they choose to stick it when they close the bedroom doors. This is such an entry level issue (come on Chit Chatters, I'm really trying to make this work for the Finbar Saunders out there!) that trips everyone up time and time again, it's truly pathetic the amount of time that's given to this non subject. |

to ''Roger'' the butler ....
...... me simply lazily or even provocotively (to some) making an observation that it seems to be an issue to some does not mean i'm making it an issue. Clearly and obviously. If you want to say that my issue is that its a tedious topic then i agree ... |
|
By:
the amount of time given to it
suggests it is not a non subject Roger I agree with you about restaurants and hotels, gays will stick to the gay friendly ones I suspect hotels and restaurants only make an issue of it, when gays go out of their way to advertise their gayness if the truth be told |
|
By:
Hotels ad Restaurant will not enquire too closely about their customers, they need their business
it is only if they see people disturbing other patrons they start worrying, loss of business imo |

sadly I am b
I was only ever reluctantly tolerant tbh on the grounds of fairness but when I see them upsetting lots of other people, I am now a definite b |

Well two gays did and after being put in separate rooms they took the hotel owners to court and won damages. |

What's next? I'd make polygamy my Nap.
The Govt has made it clear that gays, straight and bisexuals are all the same, so shirley bisexuals who love 2 people (or more???!) should be allowed to marry more than one person.. My Next Best would be incest, especially gay incest so no chance of procreation. Outsider of 3 is of course beastiality. We're told we're animals, evolved etc so basically we're just advanced dogs so why not a marriage between me and Mutley next door. Seems like a decent chap.... |

38 posts in about how much no one cares about this subject - padded out with the usual 'I'm a clean nobbed old hetero' nudge-nudgery admittedly - but good for another 38 more at least I'd say.

you have to add 197 posts from other thread Roger
although most of them are mine so perhaps you have a point although you are attacking posters not their posts |
