Offensive or not? Was the landlord being a prude here? Do you cringe when you see gays kissing in public?

"I don't agree they have done this for the publicity and a claim for compensation"
It seems more complicated than that to me. And I'm not sure there's actually any convincing evidence for your assertion, either.
The way it looks to me is that they were asked to stop, then did, then presumably without thinking it would cause another breach, one gave the other a quick kiss as he was about to leave, and was reproached again.

I have just had breakfast with to friends of mine, well acquaintances really, and I brought up the subject of this very topic, for their opinion and comment.
I have known them for about 10 years and went to their wedding and I have always found them entertaining and friendly. The said that in no circumstances would they kiss or caress or "whatever" in public and that they agreed that whatever went on in the pub by the two gays was unacceptable behavior and that the landlord was in his right to ask them to leave.
My personal and limited experience of gays is similar to my experience of heterosexuals in that their behaviour is either completely socially acceptable or what can only be described as outrageous as shown in the behaviour of heterosexual Brits abroad whilst on holiday.
My gay friends concluded that the two "offenders" were attention seekers and in no way representative of the gay community as a whole and in fact brought no credit on male homosexuality.
I am inclined to agree with them.
