It's the owner's property. He can rent to whomever he pleases.

Uh, there are quite a few gay-owned hotels/bed and breakfasts that won't accommodate straight couples. The latest case I heard was in Key West.

Currently, there is no state law preventing a hotel from refusing service to a same-sex couple. However, it is illegal to discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, national origin, gender, disability, or marital status.
So, the FPs will sue based on......hurt feelings? Freedom of association is still out there, last I heard.
Perhaps a more 'enlighted' place will put up with them.

The latest case I heard was in Key West. I can vouch for that. I have asked gays how that can not be considered discrimination and they never get it. Special class and all.

Pickel Black Bear? Somewhere an Indian is crying...

If only this were so.
You know tht in some states, the hotel owners would be hanging out "Under New Management" signs a month after the lawsuit was filed.
Property rights above all others.

"Pickel and Black Bear say they still plan to seek legal action. "Everyone is floored, shocked and outraged," said Pickel. "We have contacted some of our friends who are activists."
You ever get the feeling that these people are just looking for outrage?
(I think I know the answer)

A friend of mine would not rent her home to a unmarried couple and the state of California sued her for discrimination. One should be able to do whatever they want with their own property.

Pickel and Black Bear say they still plan to seek legal action. "Everyone is floored, shocked and outraged," said Pickel. "We have contacted some of our friends who are activists." I'm sure they did. **roll eyes**

She said, 'Oh we don't rent to multiple people of the same sex.'
For the record, Jason, I should note that you say the desk clerk told you "no multiple people of the same sex."
She did not say "no multiple people of the same sex who we suspect are sleeping together."
So you couldn't rent a room with your brother or dad either. Get over your whiny self.

I have several gay friends, and all of them would be disgusted by the act you describe.
What the hell makes you say stuff like that?
