"But the 34-year-old was surprised to be approached by a member of staff with a complaint. Nothing out of the ordinary had happened that evening, except when she spoke to another drinker at the pub, a gay man called Mika Johnson.

‘I sat down next to him and asked him how he was,’ Ms Wershbale said. ‘He said, “I don’t want to talk to you to be honest – please leave me alone.” ‘So I said OK and left it.’

Thirty minutes later a member of the bar staff named Heather came to Ms Wershbale’s table to tell her she was no longer welcome at the pub. ‘Heather said I’d been upsetting people and Mika was crying,’ Ms Wershbale said."

One might get the impression that she had in mind provoking a reaction from “Mika,” since her ostensible purpose was to play board games with her girlfriend. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, if she’s being honest about the exchange, but I think her story of being “shocked” and all that is very thin.
