A couple who were refused a rental property because they are gay are now calling for an equality act to be introduced on the Isle of Man.
Laura Cull and fiance Kira had successfully progressed through the application phase for the Ramsey property.
It was only at the final stage they were told it had fallen through after the landlord was made aware of their sexual orientation.
The pair have set up an online petition for the introduction for the Equality Act 2010, which legally protects people from discrimination in the workplace and wider society; so far it has over 800 signatures.
The act is already in place in the UK.
Laura told us they hope to make the best out of a bad situation(AUDIO ABOVE)
