gay couple looking to get on the property ladder were banned from viewing a house by its owners, who said homosexuality is “contrary to the teachings of God".
Luke Whitehouse and Lachlan Mantell received a reply from the sellers, who are Christians, referencing Bible passages that are used to denounce same-sex relationships, the Mirror reports.
The couple, who have been in a relationship for eight years, had been looking forward to viewing the property on Saturday in Coulsdon, Surrey.
But according to the MailOnline, they were contacted on Wednesday by the sellers via the Purplebricks website. It said: "Dear Lachlan and Luke, thank you for sharing your circumstances with us."We're sorry if we seem intrusive, but we just want to make clear that we would be unwilling for two men in a partnership to view or buy our house."As it is contrary to the gracious teaching in God's Word, the Holy Bible, e.g Romans 1:24-28 and Jude 7 (King James Version).
