In March 2010, Michael Black and John Morgan attempted to stay at the bed and breakfast, but when Wilkinson learned that the two homosexual men wanted to share a room for the night, she turned them down. Black and Morgan sued Wilkinson, and last year a county court ruled in favor of the men, awarding them \u00a33,600\u2013approximately $5,400. However, Wilkinson appealed the ruling, and her case was eventually brought before Lord Dyson\u2014the second highest judge in England.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-page <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20140207045845\/http:\/\/www.judiciary.gov.uk:80\/Resources\/JCO\/Documents\/Judgments\/morgan-wilkinson-09072013.pdf\">court ruling<\/a>, released on Tuesday, begins with an explanation of how Wilkinson\u2019s faith plays a central role in her life and business. <a href=\"http:\/\/christiannews.net\/2013\/07\/14\/u-k-senior-judge-bed-breakfast-owner-discriminated-against-homosexuals-by-denying-room\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click here<\/a> to continue reading.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Garrett Haley Christian News&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[257,614,108,113,46,385,45],"tags":[2932,2920,173,2939,585,1343,1864,42,2919],"class_list":["post-12222","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-same-sex-marriage","category-world-in-crisis","category-persecution-defending-the-faith","category-homosexuality","category-politics","category-freedom-signs-of-the-times","category-signs-of-the-times","tag-homosexuality","tag-politics","tag-freedom","tag-same-sex-marriage","tag-united-kingdom","tag-england","tag-london","tag-persecution","tag-signs-of-the-times","wpcat-257-id","wpcat-614-id","wpcat-108-id","wpcat-113-id","wpcat-46-id","wpcat-385-id","wpcat-45-id"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.4 (Yoast SEO v28.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>U.K. Senior Judge: Bed &amp;
