By JILL REILLY and LAURA COX 24 March 2012 A Southern Californian man thrown off a Caribbean gay cruise earlier this week has said that that he and his partner were taunted, humiliated and subjected to inhumane treatment when they were arrested for indecent exposure.
Dennis Jay Mayer, 53, of Palm Springs said he has no doubt they were arrested in Dominica because they were gay. Police said it was because they were seen having sex in public on the balcony of their ship cabin. Mayer said they were not having sex, but were ‘partially clothed’.
Gay cruise: John Hart, 41, left, and Dennis Jay Mayer, 43, both of Palm Springs, California, pleaded guilty to indecent exposure after they were caught having sex ‘The total experience was horrendous,’ he said. ‘They told us that they did not like us, that they did not like gay people.’
Mayer, a retired deputy sheriff, told how he and his partner of 17 years, John Robert Hart, 41, were summoned to speak to the captain wished to speak to us. ‘We were caught off guard,’ he added.

Those savages! They were mean to them!
Has anyone ever told you that ignorance of the law is no excuse? You perv.
Well, I hope their experience taught them that life in the USA is pretty darn good for a homosexual person.
I hope their experience taught them that there are parts of the world which are not so open and accomodating to their lifestyle as this country is.
I also hope they will have learned not to go to other countries and try to shove it down their throats, that they are gay and proud and all that.
I think the real world is not as tolerant as the lawyers have made the US citizens.
I have a great idea! Let’s promote a gay cruise to Yemen! Test the tolerance there!
STFU you whiney collectivist!
Uhhh . . . never mind . . . I won’t say it.

He sounds like he was tortured in a gulag and barely escaped with his life.
Romney: “The Gay Community Needs More Support from the Republican Party’
Apprently there is at at least one place left with some modicum of decency.
Goodness! What is all the commotion about. LOL
Normal humans do not have sex in public. Why do queers think they are exempt from the norms of human decency?
INHUMANE= f-ed in the A.
Cry me a river. Even though I agree with a Prime Minister whom I loathed when he said, “The state has no place in the bedrooms of the nation”, I have no sympathy for anyone, gay or straight, who chooses to have sex in public. If they kept it behind closed doors they wouldn’t have had a problem.
Another reason to avoid cruises.
