Do you only consider something homophobia when people are violently attacked?
If I were to say black people made me feel sick that would make me a racist..
If someone says gay people make them feel sick they are homophobic.

You've missed my point...
My point was that expressing disgust at something is not homophobia. Homophobia may be the reason for the disgust, but disgust is not homophobia.
There seem to be conflicting reports regarding what the couple were doing. They say it was a peck on the cheek. Others say it was more. If it was more, then the landlord may well have done the same for a heterosexual couple. Would you consider that Heterophobic?
Also, if they were leaving anyway, why are they bothered? Did he bar them? Even if he did, it's not as if Soho is short of pubs, gay or straight.
There are people who have posted on this thread that I would consider homophobic, but that is based more on the fact that they seem to leap on any thread that includes any reference to homosexuality. There is also one I would also consider racist. *If* they (or anyone) do anything which the admin team feels contradicts either the law or the forum's Ts&Cs, we will act.
But, beyond that, we are not here to censor people wish to say. We are not the thought police.
