\"\"What does it take to shock respectable middle-aged men these days? Acts of public lewdness? Teenagers with rings in their noses? 50 Shades of Grey? The price of a haircut?<\/p>\n

When the self-styled respectable men<\/a> are ageing homosexuals \u2013 homosexuality being the new yardstick by which we are expected to judge \u201crespectability\u201d \u2013 all it takes is to be told they can\u2019t share a bed in someone else\u2019s house.<\/p>\n

Michael Black and John Morgan are sensitive souls \u2013 you can tell from John\u2019s tattoos \u2013 so to soothe their ruffled sensibilities, they sued the Christian B&B owners where they were refused – not rooms, but a double bed – to prevent others from suffering the same emotionally devastating discrimination.<\/p>\n

In actual fact, it is quite apparent from this video<\/a> that the pair has derived considerable satisfaction from the whole episode of being supposedly wronged, vindicated and financially rewarded, not to mention the profound enjoyment of imposing their belief system on a couple of hapless Christians.<\/p>\n

All in the name of banishing any vestigial remnants of what used to be called decency \u2013 now renamed inequality \u2013 from England\u2019s green and increasingly unpleasant land.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
