It is getting to the place that a Christian has no rights.

You have the right to be silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you?

I wonder if any of the other unmarried couples they refused to let stay there sued them? Can public places still put up signs that say we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone?

Yes, I guess your right. That is about the only right we as Christians have any more. We are just suppose to keep out mouths shut.

The problem is Christians started keeping our mouths shut long ago. But you know we have to obey them that have rule over us. Boy, the government is pretty tricky huh?

I thought that exact same thing. I only side with the hotel owner if he refused rooms to everyone he would consider to be living in sin, such as an unmarried couples along with the gay ones. I am fairly sure he (the owner) was picking and choosing based on perceived degree of sinfullness.

It said in the article that they in fact did refuse unmarried couples that were heterosexual.

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.
