The owners of a Christian guesthouse who were ordered to pay damages for turning away a gay couple have lost their UK Supreme Court fight.
Hazelmary and Peter Bull refused to let civil partners Steven Preddy and Martyn Hall stay in a double room at Chymorvah House in Marazion in Cornwall in 2008.
The couple, who had already lost cases at Bristol County Court and the Court of Appeal, said they were "saddened".
Mr and Mrs Bull have said they regard any sex outside marriage as a "sin". Steven Preddy (l) and Martyn Hall Steven Preddy (l) and Martyn Hall were turned away by the Bulls in 2008
The Bulls denied discriminating against Mr Hall and Mr Preddy, who are from Bristol.
Sixty-nine-year-old Mrs Bull and her 74-year-old husband said their decision was founded on a "religiously-informed judgment of conscience".
Five Supreme Court justices ruled against them on Wednesday after analysing the case at a hearing in London in October.

This world is like a huge disqualifying match where one group will eliminate the other until all that will be left in the world will be the final grudge match of history's most incorrigible, the LGBT versus the Mullah Mad Men of Mayhem.

Hotels used to have “house detectives” that would expel any non-married couples.

Steven Preddy and Martyn Hall are not just perverts; they are pure evil.
