Hotel investigated over 'poofters welcome' sign
Police investigated a village hotel owner for erecting a "Poofters welcome here" sign, in reference to a recent court ruling that B&Bs are obliged to accept homosexual customers.
Village councillors complained after Mike Saqui wrote the message on the sandwich board outside his Penny Farthing Hotel, in Hampshire's New Forest.
The A-board outside the hotel, which is on a main road into Lyndhurst, has become a talking point among locals, who are concerned they could be branded 'a village of bigots.'
But letters to the town's local newspaper from readers called the messages 'light hearted' and one told councillors to 'lighten up'.
The sign was inspired by a recent court case in which a homosexual couple challenged a Cornish B&B owner who refused to allow them to stay in their establishment.
