the are exemptions to the equality act 2010 which allows organisations relating to a religion or belief (“religious organisations”) to discriminate on the grounds of religion, belief or sexual orientation in certain circumstances. If this business is now focused on prompting Christianity rather than providing b&b for the general public they won't be breaching the legislation (probably).
Because it is illegal to discriminate against someone on the grounds of their sexuality. Where you like it or not (I happen to) that is a fact. So it is perfectly reasonable for a couple so discriminated against to seek legal redress.
After all, this couple might wish to seek protection from discrimination one day themselves. In fact, in their eyes they WERE being discriminated against as they felt that their religious beliefs gave them the right to discriminate themselves :-)

The fact is they should be allowed to refuse anyone without giving a reason. It is their property and it should be up to them who they allow across the threshold. In this case, the discrimination law allows anyone who is refused entry to stoke up trouble by saying, 'oh it must be because I am Irish, black, gay, white, Jewish, Chinese, Indian etc no doubt encouraged by the prospect of compensation. Where does it all end?

Is it also illegal to refuse to admit as your guest any couples who are not married?
If not, then unless they specifically stated 'no gays welcome' and since this gay couple were not married, surely it would be lawful to refuse them as guests, on the grounds that they were not married?
