U.S. top court hands defeat to Hawaii B&B that spurned lesbian coupleThe U.S. Supreme Court handed a defeat on Monday to a bed and breakfast owner in... Looks like either hypocrisy or a Christian witch hunt . No on complains when Muslims don’t serve pork or Hindus don’t sever beef etc . And looks like the LGBTQS are getting a kick out of it by targeting Christians. It’s funny how you fight for one’s rights by crushing another’s. Soon cannibals are going to claim their right to eat you. And the beat goes on I run a B&B in Maitland Nova Scotia. It's called 'Cresthaven By the Sea' (check us out on facebook pics and videos) If you got money and you're cool, you're welcome here. It doesn't need to be any more complicated than that.
