Back to the future 2

And another thing - what did Chris Grayling say again? Oh, yes:

I personally always took the view that... if you look at the case of 'Should a Christian hotel owner have the right to exclude a gay couple from their hotel?'

I took the view that if it's a question of somebody who's doing a B&B in their own home, that individual should have the right to decide who does and who doesn't come into their own home.

If they are running a hotel on the High Street, I really don't think that it is right in this day and age that a gay couple should walk into a hotel and be turned away because they are a gay couple, and I think that is where the dividing line comes.

So prejudice and discrimination are wrong on the High Street, but OK in somebody's own home, is that it, Chris? If I was renting out a room in my own house and put up a sign reading "No Irish, no Blacks, no dogs,", that would be just fine, would it? No problem, (so long as those words reflated my own personal "conscience" and "genuinely held principles"). Idiot
