but we're not always that lucky. the Doubletree Southcenter in Seattle just wouldn't give us one bed (fortunately, years of dorm life have taught me how to share a twin, much less a full! 
), and we got static at a Radisson in Montreal, though once i grabbed the manager and got going in French about it, he handled it with style and grace.</font>
What exactly happened in Seattle? I can't imagine checking into a hotel that just wouldn't allow us to have one bed. Seattle is a relatively metropolitan city, I'm kind of surprised to hear that you got a flat out refusal.
In a foreign country with a language barrier, I might be a little more apt to accept the situation, but certainly not in the US. That's a case where I'd turn around and walk out.
Personally, I think the whole issue is such nonsense. If I were working a hotel front desk I wouldn't care who was checking in or what they were doing. As long as they had money, weren't going to break the hotel rules (like have 20 people stay in one room) or set the place on fire, it would be fine with me.
Do these same people who have a problem with gays sharing a bed also make sure that all straights who share a bed are married? It amazes me how many people use "it's a sin" to justify their dislike for gays, yet have no problem with premarital straight sex, which is also a sin, according to most religions.
