There's going to be more to this story than meets the eye. The media loves a good "poor persecuted gays" story.

I think it's about time people realised political correctness does not always apply in reality.

If the landlord was the one who was offended by this then he's the one with the problem and can't reasonably expect people not to show affection in public.

If however it was a group of punters in there who were threatening to leave if the landlord did nothing about it, that's more understandable. I'm not saying I think it's right, but it's economics. Publicans need to keep people in the pubs, spending money. If a group were threatening to leave because of 2 people. he's not likely to think "I'll lose their money just to be PC".
