Is Discrimination a right?

Yes - the B&B was set up. Some gay activists are just about defending gays against discrimination. Some are driven by an intolerance that's every bit as vitriolic and hate driven as Fred Phelps.
In this case the B&B owners were too stupid to ask the customers where they "married" when they took the booking.
Likewise if you want a certain gender to apply for your job advert then you use the correct descriptive words on the advert to deter people who you don't want to apply.
Though in the case of the hairdresser aiming an advert at young girls when some males are better hairdressers and lots of women prefer a good male hairdresser is just poor stupid...."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Again I ask the question, why is homsexuality allowed by right of law but the taking of multiple spouses not?
Simple question. Everyone seems to be quite good at avoiding that question.Comment

The interesting question is why bigamy is illegal when civil partnerships and presumably soon gay marriage are legal. The answer to that I think is that the civil rights of gays were harmed by not recognising their relationships in the same way that marriage recognises straight relationships. There does not appear to be a loud clamour for legalised bigamy as a relief against discrimination, but if that clamour arises, then perhaps there will be a public debate and we can all come to an opinion on the merits of the arguments.The material prosperity of a nation is not an abiding possession; the deeds of its people are.
