The Co-op would have been aware of their views when the account was opened so unless CV had recently undertaken a campaign of violence or crime against homosexuals, I see this as little more than a PR stunt.

I'm not sure why the Co-op has used the term 'hateful' myself although some of the pronouncements on the CV website, as we have seen, are pretty strong.
And yes, the Co-op either made a mistake when accepting CV or it is a PR stunt of which they are quite capable. Looking at the reporting (media and CV), it may be a bit of both.
