High street newsagent WHSmith has denied accusations of homophobia after apparently withdrawing copies of Attitude and Gay Times magazines from display in its Leamington branch.

The company was the subject of an outcry on social networking site Twitter on Sunday after one user published a photo of a display telling customers to go to the counter and ask for copies of Gay Times and Attitude magazines.
