  • Couple: Hotel Wouldn't Rent to Us Because We're Gay

    First of all their is no law in the United States which supercedes the Constitution not even English Common Law.

    But to use your own argument against you, the whole point the hotel owner made was that they could not habitate the same bed. If they wanted to rent seperate rooms or a room with seperate beds no problem. If they were to tell the owner they were going to sleep with each other regardless then the owner does not have to rent to them since they insist upon breaking the owners rules. Why must a gay person aspouse to everyone in the world that they are gay. There wouldn't be a problem if they wouldn't have said they were gay and just rented seperate rooms.

    There are several states which still have laws making homosexuality illegal, North and South Carolina are two of them. They are just not enforced by the politicians because they are afraid of the special interest groups and not interested in doing what is right.

    A very good example of this is that there are several communities throughout North and South Carolina that in order to live in the housing development you not only must be a Christian but you must attend the communities church and if you don't you are required to move. This has been taken to court several times and each time has been upheld by the courts. One other note is that in the community in which I live their is also a hotel that is owned and run by the community. In order to stay in the hotel you must state that you are a Christian and are not gay. This hotels rules have also been upheld in court.

    The constitution sets forth certain specific things that you can not be discriminated against and being gay or straight is not one of them. A private individual has the right to choose for themselves or their business who or what they want to server or associate with as long as it does not conflict with the constitution. I have been to many restaurants that I would not have been allowed in had I not been dressed appropriately. It was my choice that if I wanted to eat their then I had to follow their rules. I don't see why the same shouldn't apply for a hotel. If you don't adhere to their standards then why should they be forced to rent to someone. Until the constitution is amended then being gay can be discriminated against and is considered a choice and not a birth defect as many gays would like the rest of the world to believe.

    If I remember correctly, last week Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said he wanted to come to the U.S. to speak to the U.N. I say let him come! We could kidnap him next...just think of the fun the CIA could have with him.
