Supporters of Sodomy are the Real Bigots

The Christian owners of a bed and breakfast have spoken of the hate-filled messages they received in the wake of refusing to give a homosexual couple a double room.

Mike and Susanne Wilkinson say “hundreds of emails an hour” came in from around the world, as well as phone calls and texts – some which were “very sexually explicit.”
And they also told of messages threatening to ‘come and get them.’

THREATS OF VIOLENCE

Speaking to a national newspaper, Mr Wilkinson explained:  “One was hand-delivered and handwritten in capitals and said ‘I am coming to burn your house down’ and then lots of filthy words about what they thought of us.” 

He added: “It was very scary.  And we’ve guests as well as children living here.  People started cancelling the bookings.  And that’s when we called the police.”

However the police, despite searching through thousands of messages, were unable to track down any of the senders.

There is no suggestion that any of the messages came from the homosexual couple who were refused a room.

SUPPORT

Mr Wilkinson also said they had received many positive messages.

They were in court last week after homosexual couple, Michael Black and John Morgan, sued them over their actions.

The judge’s decision is expected in the coming days.

The Wilkinson case is being supported by The Christian Institute’s Legal Defence Fund.

PRESERVATION OF FAITH

At the trial Mrs Wilkinson said: “All we ever wanted was to be able to live and work in keeping with our faith.  Christianity isn’t just something we do in church on a Sunday – it affects every area of our life, including our home and our business.  Surely there is room for that in modern British life.”

James Dingemans QC, representing Mrs Wilkinson, said it was against his client’s beliefs for unmarried people to share a bed under her roof, adding: “This is protected by the Equality Act 2010 and the Human Rights Act 1998.”

NB. The following article from 'The Mail Online' should be read – it provides more shocking detail about the kind of relentless abuse to which this Christian couple have been subjected by the supposedly 'tolerant' brigade who are clearly determined to steamroller through any rights we have in order to push their perversity in our faces.

Christian Evangelist Not Guilty in Tesco Case

A Christian evangelist has been found not guilty of a public order offence after he handed out leaflets criticising Tesco's decision to donate £30,000 to the 2012 London/World Pride parade.

Raj Bhachoo was arrested, kept in a police cell for hours, and charged with “threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour” under Section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986 following a complaint by the manageress during a leafleting exercise outside the Tesco store in Gravesend, Kent in January 2012.

The case was due to be heard by Dartford Magistrates on 24 September 2012.

However, on reviewing the evidence and recent legal decisions including that involving Sandown Road Free Presbyterian Church, the prosecuting barrister offered no evidence.
The magistrates duly dismissed the case.

Just a week ago, Mr Michael Phillips (the solicitor who represented Raj Bhachoo in this case) represented two Christians from the Abort67 group, seeing all charges against them thrown out by magistrates in Brighton.

Last February, Michael Overd faced a trial in Taunton after two homosexuals objected to his preaching.  Mr Overd was also acquited.

In September 2006, Stephen Green of Christian Voice was arrested, locked in the cells for four hours and charged under the same Section 5 by the South Wales Police Minorities Support Unit for handing out evangelistic leaflets at the homosexual Cardiff Mardi Gras.  At the subsequent hearing, all charges were dropped.

Stephen Green said today: "Christians just keep winning these Section 5 freedom of speech cases. It is not against the law to preach against sodomy, to tell the public the facts about homosexual lifestyles, nor to display graphic images of the effects of abortion. These things might upset people, but they are not threatening, they are not abusive, they are not insulting and they are not against the law.

We actually need no change in the law, but we do need police forces and the Crown Prosecution Service to provide training to officers and prosecutors on the law and on their duty to protect people exercising their freedom of expression.

In the abortion case, the police officer who attended admitted in court that the only training he had ever had on the implications of freedom of speech was ten years ago."

Tesco's decision to openly support the sodomite cause is proving yet more costly ... .
