Christian hoteliers to test discrimination laws – Jeff and Sue Green outside the Highland Moors Hotel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A Christian couple hope to test equality laws in Strasbourg, reports the Sunday Telegraph<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Jeff and Sue Green own the\u00a013 bedroom Highland Moors Hotel and Conference Centre in Llandrindod Wells, midWales. \u00a0They had\u00a0advertised that only married couples were allowed to take double rooms.<\/p>\n

But at the end of last year they received a letter from the Equality and Human Rights Commission\u2019s \u201clegal enforcement team\u201d informing them they could be guilty of discriminating against gay couples.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jeff and Sue have now changed their policy to offer twin rooms only throughout the hotel, and have slanted their business towards catering for groups who are attending local events or hiring the conference centre. \u00a0Jeff Green told Christian Voice that they had not actually turned anyone away, or had any actual enquiries from homosexuals wanting to book double rooms.<\/p>\n

However, following the refusal of British courts to uphold the religious rights of other Christian B&B owners, they now plan to launch a legal case at the European Court of Human Rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oddly enough, despite a report in Pink News<\/em><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0four years ago that ‘gay-only’ hotels were to be investigated by the\u00a0Equality and Human Rights Commission, hotels proclaiming that they only cater for homosexuals openly tout for business in the ‘gay-friendly’ resorts of Brighton, Bournemouth and Blackpool to this day.<\/p>\n

Perhaps some Christians ought to try to book rooms in some of them …<\/p>\n
