No Room at the Inn

Today's pick for a Dubious Destination relates to Bed and Breakfasts all across England. Christian B&B operators in the country are protesting the recent passage of a law in the UK called the Equality Act. The law stipulates that B&B operators cannot deny a room to visitors on the basis of religion or sexual orientation, and the B&B operators are not pleased. To wit:

"We've had a lot of correspondence from Christian B&B operators who don't want to be forced to accept Satanists, Muslims, gays and even unmarried couples as guests,' said a Home Office official. 'Protestants have been writing in saying they shouldn't have to admit Catholics because they have an issue with their religion, Catholics saying they didn't want Jews under their roof and objections from followers of other types of faith."

Now, doesn't Christianity have some history with this whole denied-a-place-to-stay thing? We're pretty sure that it's somewhere in the bible...
