Gay couple refused south London house viewing and purchase

A gay couple describes their shock at being refused a viewing and the chance to buy a house in south London because of their sexuality.

Luke Whitehouse and Lachlan Mantell fell in love with the £650,000 three-bedroom home

Lachlan Mantell and Luke Whitehouse were sent a message from the owners of the property they were interested in that said they were "unwilling" to let them view or buy it.Online estate agency Purplebricks has withdrawn the house from their website. "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 ."

"We don't wish the couple any ill will, we just wanted to get a message out that this kind of thing happens and it is not acceptable."
