BRITAIN: Anti-Gay Guesthouse Owners Take Case To European High Court

The BBC reports:
Two Powys Christians accused of discriminating against gay couples at their guesthouse are taking their case to the European Court of Human Rights. Sue and Jeff Green changed their policy of letting double rooms only to married couples after a complaint from the Equality and Human Rights Commission. It warned they could be breaking the law at their Llandrindod Wells B&B. The Greens now want to establish whether Christian beliefs and human rights are superseded by equality laws. It follows a Supreme Court ruling last year against Christian hoteliers Peter and Hazelmary Bull from Marazion, Cornwall, who were found to have discriminated unlawfully against a same-sex couple by refusing to give them a double room.
