Just thought I would enter this on behalf of sp1814, because I think he may be a little shy considering that he has been criticising me for repeating the same stories even though mine were years apart.

Urban Dictionary says (so it must be true) that an otter is like a bear but smaller....

Lesbian B&B owner - a Feel-Dough perhaps...

[mikey4444]

sp1814...shame on you for using the lesbian word...you should know better.

Its Women in Sensible Shoes.

[naomi24]

I don't know any Lesbians well enough to ask them.

Good grief!

I wasn't having my leg pulled.

I don't understand how a young bear can be an otter.

(Good luck to anyone joining this thread at this point).

Contrary to some ignorant comments here on AB today, gay people, male or female don't go walking around with a big pink flag sticking out of the top of their heads. Most of them will look just like everybody else.

Having a lot of Barbra Streisand records can be a giveaway however.

mikey; //This is why we have antidiscrimination laws in place. It isn't there to protect bigots.//
I don't think it is about bigotry, it's about be free to decide whom you wish to stay under the roof of your home.

[mikey4444]

K...it may be what you think but the law disagrees. These people were operating a commercial premises, not a private house. The law is right and you are wrong. Sorry about that !

[Khandro]

And again; //gay people, male or female don't go walking around with a big pink flag sticking out of the top of their heads. Most of them will look just like everybody else.//
Well you wouldn't have said that had you been in Zürich during "Gay Week" last spring, (they don't have pink, but rainbow flags now).

[jomifl]

So, does this crusading gay couple report every infraction of the law or do they just specialise in gay related crime like 'normal' people.

[Khandro]

Sorry, but a B&B may be a business, but it's still a private house, unlike a hotel.

[FredPuli43]

Yes, Khandro,if you do not call the Savoy or the Ritz your home, and you own them and run them as your home. Otherwise, be it a B and B or a five star, you are running it as a business and can't refuse customers simply because they are homosexuals, or black, or Jews, or Muslims.

Sp,surely you don't ,literally,mean that you don't know any lesbians? What a sheltered life you lead!

[naomi24]

Had the two men been brothers sharing a room, I doubt very much the owners would have had a problem, so really it’s all about what goes on in the owner’s minds, isn’t it? Religion is obsessed with sex.

[mikey4444]

Interesting K but not germane to the point of this at all.

Even it were, are you suggesting that every Gay person in Zurich was there during that week?

We have had Gay Pride in London for years and most of the participants are very colourful and can hardly be described as shy and retiring. But again, does that mean that every gay person in Britain dresses like that every day ? What about the majority of gay people in Britain that didn't attend Pride ?

[jomifl]

Now then Naomi, don't wander off topic, this is going very well as it is :o)

[Khandro]

Fred; //you are running it as a business and can't refuse customers//
I am a professional artist, my studio is part of my home and I can choose who the hell I like to come in.

[mikey4444]

K ..... you are wrong in your post of 16:53...fred has spoken ! Be thee now at rest !

I suspect that the Bulls used your twisted rational in all of their court appearances. If it had any validity, they would have won their case. But they lost. They acted like bigots and broke the law.

[Khandro]

// are you suggesting that every Gay person in Zürich was there during that week? //
No, I'm suggesting that every gay person in the northern hemisphere was there, or so it seemed.

[mikey4444]

Fred...I would give it up if I were you. You can lead a horse to water, etc, etc.
