Dire Sean and Hypocrite Vicar
So what he doesn't want you to stay!?
It's his place. His beliefs and his choice Them looking down their noses on him like he's been shouting abuse. He said it calmly and asked them not to. For a vicar he's a terrible hypocrite. Who's he to judge his views Oh and let's not forget some people do believe the Bible states against it Regardless the high and mightyness of them is just awful |

Would you be saying the same if he had not allowed a black couple to stay? Or maybe a special needs couple?
It's about discrimination, I get what you mean about it being his place, but how would you feel if you were turned away from somewhere because of who you are? |

I like Billy but I think I only like him because he's acting opposite the DREADFUL Anthony Cotton.
Surely as a Vicar, he'd STILL have to wait till he marriage before having sex? Regardless of sexuality? |

I was told to get out of a pub once because I had some Christian newspapers. That's probably okay though. Despite this, I'll defend to the death anyone's right to refuse to do business with anyone else for whatever reason they see fit.

I thought Sean and the vicar were incredibly rude to the bloke. I know we weren't meant to be but I found myself on his side. He politely told them there had been a problem with their booking and that unfortunately they couldn't stay, nothing wrong with that. It was only when they attacked him that he showed a hint of homophobia.

I'm not a watcher of Corrie. Just happened to see the vicar tonight. He looks like Sean Connery.
Not that this adds to discussion. I remember something like this in the papers a while ago. Gay couple refused by a hotel. Another case of a soap trying to be topical. |

Defend it all you like but you're on your own there. I'm pretty sure it's against the law to discriminate.
Using the topical example, I'm sure it'd be a different story if a gay couple had refused to do a baptism cake for a Christian (which I'd also defend their right to do). |

If it had genuinely been a double booking then they were out of order and Sean possibly shouldn't have jumped to conclusions but we the audience could tell it wasn't a double booking. He just wanted rid because he was homophobic. |

IIRC, the gay couple won their case. Basically, anybody can decide who they want in their private home, but if you open your home or business premises to the Public, like a B+B then you can not discriminate on the ground of race, colour, religion of sexuality. It is illegal. |

I'm not on my own at all. If YOU pay for a building either by buying it or by renting it and YOU pay for your stock and YOU pay the bills on it then YOU should be allowed to sell to who you like.

You are on your own. You said 'I'll defend to the death anyone's right to refuse to do business with anyone else for whatever reason they see fit.' Refusing to do business with someone on the basis of their sexuality is against the law and I can't see many others willing to die for this.
It's the business owner's loss at the end of the day. Money is money and they're turning it away. They won't get the gay person's (or whoever they're discriminating against) money and they won't get their friends/family's business either when they're told about it. It's their loss at the end of the day but it is their business. |

Plus any punishment they get at the hands of the criminal justice system but I'm assuming that isn't a problem

Refusing to do business with someone on the basis of their sexuality, gender, disability or race is against the law. That is all and what I am talking about. It isn't my opinion or view of things, it is the law.

As a gay guy I was rolling my eyes at this storyline and how of course Corrie tried to latch on to something current but it's just come off as cliche.
He can't act for peanuts. Sean needs the axe. |
