rights of the far right?
a hotel in germany is being sued by the leader of a far-right political group after they barred him from staying.
"There is a debate to be had," Mr Baumeister admits. "Should you discriminate against those who are guilty of discrimination? It's an interesting subject, but in the end decisions have to be made."

Does the "managers have the right to refuse service to anyone" rule still apply?
Plus I wouldn't have admitted him to my hotel. Not for his political views, but because of those piggy little eyes. LOOK AT HIM! He looks so much like a paedophile he might as well be put on the register now.

Indeed...
...management presumably don't have the right to refuse service to black people, or those with disabilities. But then people don't choose those things, but they do choose to be right-wing racist types. Or at least they choose to join organizations which tell everyone that's what they think.

nope
becuase discriminating against race or sexuality is different to discriminating against a point of view...it just is

Persaonlly I wouldn't have refused them
But I wasn't the owner of the establishment so it wasn't my choice.
If someone wants to refuse business for personal reasons then they have the right to do so. Just as the couple had a right to complain about it.

Thing is...
...personal reasons would be "I don't like you, you're a cunt" as opposed to "I don't like you, you're a gayer". You can discriminate against cunts, but not against homosexuals or people of races you find objectionable. That's kind of the law, but is also just wrong.

yeah
this is a difficult area. the guy is a nazi but has human rights that he would deny to others if he got into power.
let him in, if other guests leave due to this, sue him for loss maybe? is this even possible?

I don't think so.
If you open your house up to the public as a b&b then it would be breaking descrimination laws to ban people because they're gay.
In my eyes there's no difference between this & the "No Dogs, No blacks, No Irish" signs that occasional b&bs sported in the 50s.
Except nowadays there are laws in place to stop this.
