Even if he refused other unmarried couples, it still seems like discrimination to me. I mean, what if he was one of the types of Christians that doesn't believe in interracial marriages and refused to rent rooms to intterracial married couples because according to his beliefs their marriage isn't valid? That would certainly never fly, and rightly so. That looks like the same thing to me as refusing to rent to a gay couple who has a civil partnership contract.
