My questions: (1) Did the couple tell the company that they were same-sex couple when they made reservation? (2) Is there anything in the brochures, website, etc., indicating that they cater to heterosexual couples only?

This happened in the UK, where gay marriage has been legal for sometime. Any company who deals with honeymoon should have prepared that some same sex couples would take up their offers. If they don't want to deal with it, at least they need to put in their ads. To me, it's okay to turn down the couple if the company doesn't want to serve them for whatever reason. But, it's not okay to take their money and treat them differently.

You’re right. I think that they should sue that company into bankruptcy for any perceived difference in treatment, regardless of fact or presentation of proof. What’s that expression? “Perception is reality”?

Actually civil unions are law in the UK not homosexual marriage.

The Govt and Cameron are looking at this issue right now but there is a lot of people against them getting married.

Therefore technically they were never really married and even if they were then when one goes to a country we respect their laws not they respect our laws.
We would not allow 4 muslim women for a muslim man and Saudi would not allow homosexuals .

These kind of people always think it’s about them because the media defends them and then they cry a river, well tough the majority do not agree with them and it is high time people spoke up in public against it.

That might happen in places where every one is forced to play make believe with the mentally ill. However in the real world it does not.

The Dominican Republic is likely to tell you, “Your government may have declared you whatever they like, that does not obligate us or our businesses to participate in your delusion.”

On the contrary.

“Did the couple tell the company that they were same-sex couple when they made reservation?”

I doubt they did. What they usually do is register under initials. I went to a monastery for a weekend, where two lesbians tried to do the same thing, by booking a room together.

He, the Benedictines were awesome, when they showed up, they said you have a choice. Separate rooms or you can leave. They were *not* happy.

Glad to see the Dominicans stand up for themselves.
