Idk about the UK, but is it legal to discriminate against anyone based on gender/orientation/race/religion? Not that I'd want to go hangout at a Lesbian bar as a straight guy (though I used to hang out at one that let me drink underage - great place, lot of fun there and I was treated sort of like a token, which I didn't mind), and wouldn't want to make anyone uncomfortable, but discrimination is discrimination and it's all bad, right? Or is some discrimination okay?

I think that it's fine to have a women's only, or even men's only bar frankly. But it is discrimination and I think you need to be pretty clear with that legally.

Otherwise what's to stop someone from being like "sorry this bar is for Mormons only" or something like that.

You can get around that by making it a members only private club. Not sure why anyone needs a segregated bar. I don't believe in this "safe space" crap. That's what's wrong with Western Civilization now - self-imposed segregation. What we do now, segregating everyone by race, gender, orientation, religion - does more to separate than unite. If someone is being an ahole, the club/bar has every right to kick them out. Why do we need to segregate them?

Because even if men are not behaving asholish enough to be kicked out,they can still be total creeps and upset/make lesbians feel uncomfortable. I mean I would like to not have a total creep updating his wank material library with the images of me kissing my girl.

So your assumption is that most men are creeps or potential trouble? That's incredibly sexist. Imagine if straight bars kicked out LGBT people just because they were part of a group they thought were "creeps."

Most men that come in lesbian bars are creeps and potential trouble.

Innocent until proven guilty? Frankly, I don't understand why men would want to go in, unless they're just friends with the owner or patrons, or just trusted not to be creeps or trouble.

Men want to go in because lesbians turn them on.

PS. The guilt is proven again and again and again.

I just hung out because a few of my friends hung out there. I don't feel guilty about it. There are men who are adult enough to handle women as friends without being a creep about it. Don't let the few tarnish the many.
