    Man Jailed in Anti Gay Row

    A CAMPAIGNER against gay rights was locked in a police cell for eight hours after he refused to be served by a homosexual librarian.

    We hear about Muslim shop assistants who won't serve alchohol.

    What would happen if a customer refused to be pay at a checkout manned by a Muslim?

    And made that fact known?

          Looks like the Christian bloke was well-known for his anti-gay protests.

          Difficult one, though. Should one be allowed to ask to be served by another member of staff, based on the staff member's sexuality, race, creed, whatever? What if the librarian had been a known member of the nasty-but-legal BNP? Would one be within one's rights to refuse to be served by such a person?

              What if the man refused to accept alcohol from a gay muslim librarian, and made that fact known?
              Don't ask Beaker. He's just another muppet.

                The "Carbon Footprints can **** right off!" forum is far more amusing.

                  He has his principles and is entitled to his beliefs...just the same as anyone else. It was ridiculous to lock him up though.

                    I can't see how his beliefs prevent him receiving library services though.

                    If he'd know the man was "living in sin" with a woman, or was a worshipper of Allah, or simply full of pride, would he still have refused service?

                    most odd.
