I Take It They Are Not Worried About Housing Then.
there is a housing shortage in London, so instead of a pub they can make a few flats for the residents of Grenfell to move into if they want it.

///Why should licence payers have to watch other channels, just because the BBC chooses to kowtow to yet another minority group? ///
Oh dear, AOG.....most of the stuff has been on the *non-mainstream* channels and so licence-payers will not have been inconvenienced and had to forgo their usual viewing.
I, too, pay my licence.....by the way.

Can you explain how you know this?
Have you been to a pub where your many gay friends have kissed, and no-one has made a comment?

That's the point. In gay bars, you can chat up people in the (fairly) sure knowledge that you're not barking up the wrong tree. I assure you that the gay friend you do have would not demonstrate their sexuality in straight bars, because there's literally no point.
You then say:
//What is really meant by a “gay friendly” bar is one frequented exclusively by gay people who exhibit considerably different behaviour to most people (straight or gay).//
Nonsense. Gay friendly bars are rarely exclusively gay.
Go to any gay friendly establishment in Brighton or Manchester or London and you will see that they are NEVER exclusively gay. This is because unlike in the past, gay people have straight friends who go to gay bars with them. What you may be thinking of are gay bars from the past. It's not like that now. I understand why you may think that, but you're wrong.

Zacs, referring to danny’s question. //Naomi, It's not a good question at all. It's an ignorant question.//
It was a good question – one that you clearly felt worthy of a definitive answer – which your subsequent link provided. (Your aggression has been incessant today. Sorry you’re having such a miserable time).

Firstly, we have all seen stories where gay people have been asked to leave establishments where they have had the temerity to kiss each other.
Secondly, the point isn't whether someone will complain - it's about feeling comfortable that no-one WILL complain, and that there will be no dirty looks or comments (or worse).
