They were asked to leave for their own safety, because she felt that one or more of the heterosexual males who found it distasteful would be waiting around the corner as they left the premises.

I think that is a legitimate reason .The landlady has a duty of care towards all the patrons and if keeping them safe means asking them to leave then fair enough.
There are a couple of pubs near me that do not allow gays in the bar simply because they will get abused either physically and verbally.Although this is clearly wrong and strictly speaking possibly illegal it is the best way to keep the peace in those pubs
