I have just read in the paper that a Christian family who run a bakery have been threatened with legal action as they refused to bake a cake supporting gay rights.

The cake would have featured Sesame Street characters Bert and Ernie and the slogan would have been 'Support Gay Marriage'.

What are your thoughts?

I think a 'no children' policy is legal if it's made clear in all the advertising and booking information.

Yes, various hotels have this policy and also holiday cottages.

In case they break the ghastly China gee-gnaws.

China gee-gaws, at last managed to type that, iPad changed it to gnaws and then gays!

What would happen if a gay couple wanted to stay in a hotel or whatever, with their children?

If the hotel had a 'no children' policy then they wouldn't be discriminating against the gay couple so they'd be quite within their rights to refuse their booking, I'd imagine.
