The landlord has said if it was a straight couple, he would have asked them to stop too. If it had been a straight couple, no one would have had a problem. But because it's a gay couple, everyone is up in arms about it being discrimination.
A group of mates and me once got asked to leave a pub when one of the group gave his girlfriend a quick peck on the lips. We didn't have a problem with this, and the man even apologised saying that it was a company policy cos of kids and some other stuff... It's not uncommon.
