Police remove people from gay pub after ‘homophobic slurs’ – Yahoo Eurosport UK
POLICE have removed a group of young people from a gay pub in Oxford after they started “filming pub goers and being homophobic”.
Staff kicked the group of about 10 people out this evening (02) from The Jolly Farmers in Paradise Street at about 9.50pm.
However, the group reportedly stole the foam protectors from the scaffolding opposite the bar and made “offensive gestures” while hitting each other.

Staff then called police who showed up just before 10.30pm to remove the group of young people.
A pub goer, who has chosen to stay anonymous, said: “It is concerning to experience homophobic behaviour in what is considered a safe space in the city.
“It just shows that LGBTQ+ prejudice still exists and is exactly the reason we need pride”
