True, minus Anglicans/Epio's. Whether the majority support it who knows.

I do not like the fact that the owner uses derogatory terms in decribing the homosexual couple. To me, that shows more contempt for the people rather than "respect for the other guests.'' His choice of words makes him look like the bad guy.

I wouldn't go so far as to call it derogatory.

It may just be an acceptable slang word. Like many homosexuals in America actually prefer gay (which I actually think is borderline harsh).

Anyway. I don't know their culture, so I don't think it's fair to jump to that conclusion.

i think that would be really hard to do, to stick to your moral guns like that, even if the face of all this publicity. good for them.

I never denied that. But then again they call themselves fa-- and worse.

Good for that guy! I'd do the same, with unmarried heterosexual couples and gays, who wanted to sleep in one bed at my inn. I'd be like, "Um, nope. Not here." What scares me is that this man probably could have been convicted under Canadian Bill C-250 had he lived in Canada. Yeesh. <_<

God bless,

"Poof" and 'bent" would be the equivalent of an American describing a gay person as "qwerty." So I guess it depends on whether or not you think that is derogatory. At any rate, they are not the most sensitive of terms.

btw, I think if this had happened in Minnesota, the B&B owner would have been hauled off...
