2)That's a huge stretch. Many people do their own viewings. We prefer to and we prefer to meet the owners when buying since the agent invariably knows absolutely nothing about the property compared to the people who have spent 30 years there.

Surely it's entirely up to the house owner who they sell their house to, regardless whether the potential buyer is gay, green with orange spots, a horned dwarf alien from the planet Zarg or a property developer?

It is only because they decided to do it privately that they were able to apply their personal opinions to people who wanted to view the house.
The world hasn't gone soft, the bedwetters are getting to decide who they can and can't sell property to based on their personal bias, which isn't necessarily the best way to sell a property if you're wanting the money to buy another.Leave a comment:

Originally posted by northernladuk View PostI saw this and was looking for the other thread on this similar theme and the gay cakes and tack it on to the end.
The gay cakes gate ended in the appeal from the cake makers being upheld in the supreme court
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-northern-ireland-32065233
Looks like the cake appeal will provide case law for instances like the house but it won't as they appeal went on the message of the cake not the orientation of the purchaser. They would have refused to do the cake with that slogan whatever the sexual orientation of the customer so it wasn't discriminating directly against the orientation of the customer so not discrimination. In this case it is direct discrimination against the two gentlemen wanting to buy it so will be an interesting one. I expect the couple will lose if this goes to court.
The only other action would be for old Bill to get involved and do the would-be sellers for hate speech or something else, but as this is now in the public domain there is no need. In fact it's even worse for the couple as the media have stated where one of them works and most employers/companies have policies written into contracts that you can't bring their name into disrepute.Leave a comment:
