A gay couple who inquired about a house they wanted to buy were banned by the owners from even viewing it as they said homosexuality is “contrary to the word of God”.
Luke Whitehouse and Lachlan Mantell were sent a message from the sellers, who are Christians, citing Bible passages that are used to condemn same-sex relationships.
Luke and Lachlan, who have been together for eight years, planned to view the house in Coulsdon, Surrey last Saturday.
But on the Wednesday before they got a message back from the sellers via Purplebricks, MailOnline reports.
It read: "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.
