Bed and breakfast owner closes door of home to same-sex couples; accused of discrimination
Adrian Watson is conscious of his family
A support group for gay men has accused an Ulster Unionist guest house owner of discriminating against same sex couples. Antrim councillor Adrian Watson said he would feel "uncomfortable" about having gay couples in his bed and breakfast.
"This is a bed and breakfast in a family home with three young children. Common sense has to prevail," he said.
"It is difficult because my 14-year-old daughter helps out immensely. And the obvious question: 'Why are two men, or why are two women in a double room?'"
Ken Wilkinson of the Progressive Unionist Party in Antrim told Mr Watson: "You are an embarrassment as the deputy mayor"....
