Looks like you didn't read the article.
Two guys try to book a room and are refused - where are you getting the 'hero' angle from?

The Gay couple were/are members of stonewall, however that is like being signed up to Greenpeace or friends of the earth...
It doesn't mean that they knew that the organisation (Stonewall) had contacted the hotel prior to their arrival.

I have to ask the question once again - where are you getting the information that they were bullied?
Could asking, presumably politely, for a room constitute bullying?
Could highlighting discrimination constitute bullying?
I think that is a leap too far to accuse anyone of bullying, given the information presented in the article, but please feel free to share if you have additional information

So - on what information do you base your opinion that the couple were being bullied?
Why do you claim there was 'fake moral outrage'? I would have thought pointing out discrimination was something to be lauded, not sneered at.
Which parts of my post do you not consider correct?

not exactly the same thing but.. a number of years ago I was with the mot & her (female) friend in a poplar west of IRL town over a bank holiday w/e. Almost all the B&Bs were sold out so we booked a room through the tourist office.. when the three of us showed up, the auld battleaxe who ran the place obviously didn't like that a) the couple weren't married & b) we had a ladyfriend in tow who was to share the room with us.. so she make all sorts of 1950s type comments to try to make us feel uncomfortable ( that worked- not! we were just glad to have a room for the night) .. so that evening the three of us put on a big sound display in the room with bedsprings, fake moaning etc. But interestingly enough at breakfast ( ie just prior to getting her MONEY) the old bat was nice as pie;
She'd have been well within her rights to turn us away ..but most times cash talks louder than principles
