Anne Hathaway, Ellen Degeneres and Martin Sheen are just three of over two dozen Hollywood stars pushing President Obama to allow gay couples to legally marry.

A gay couple who were refused a double room at a hotel run by a Christian couple have won damages after a judge ruled they were treated unlawfully. Martyn Hall and his civil partner, Steven Preddy, were turned away from Peter and Hazelmary Bull’s hotel in Cornwall in September 2008. The pair, who are from Bristol, sought up to £5,000 in damages after claiming they had been the victims of sexual discrimination. At a hearing last month, the Bulls denied the claim, arguing that they had a long-standing policy of banning all unmarried couples, both heterosexual and gay, from sharing a bed at the Chymorvah hotel in Marazion, near Penzance.
