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. Three cruise ship officials and six Dominica police officers were waiting for them. After police interviewed both men separately, the assistant captain spoke, Mayer said.

the cruise ship company ALLOWS it??
How many children were on board?
Just practicing their ‘seamenship skills on deck’.
Well, you know what this means.
The gay cruise liner and the gay organizers organizing this gay event, obviously HATE gay people. We need to sue.
I mean, after all, it couldn’t be us. It couldn’t be anything we did. We’re gay. We don’t have to obey any rules of common decency. If we did, we wouldn’t be gay now would we.
Dominica is sounding like a pleasant holiday destination to me.
It's part of the lifestyle.
bump
Gay cruise line ad. If Mitt gets into the White House, we'll soon be seeing this everywhere.
One does not need to do research on common decency.
The Caymen Islands won’t allow these ships to even dock. They don’t even beat around the bush telling them how they feel about it either. That is where I would take my family.
Wonder why passengers did not claim “inhumane” treatment to be involuntarily exposed to this filthy Sodomite perversion in public.
Watch out--- Gay Pride Flotilla's..... sailing soon to a port near you.
Did you read the hilarious line about “group activities”?!
As someone who works with gay men almost every day, I cannot tell you how ignorant and stupid they are about other cultures. Gay guys has been dumbing down since the day Judy died...
I have yet to understand what the “proud” is about...that they have one? These people and their fellow passengers need psychological help to grow up.
They’re stuck in the toddler stage showing everyone their wee-wees and wanting everyone to tell them how good they are for showing them to everyone who will look and applaud. Maybe that was the best time in their lives.
I wonder which one was Long John Silver?
This is truly disgusting.
Sounds like Eric Holder and the First Fairy really get around.
2. I like how the Daily Mail suspended/are not accepting comments for the article. would have liked to read those (snicker)
3. There can't be too many jobs worse than that of cleaning the ship after the cruise is over.
4. Will refrain from "poop deck" joke
that is all.
“Mayer, a retired deputy sheriff”
What really burns my butt is that this guy is retired at 43.
Sure wish I had been smart enough to get in on the Government job racket when I was younger.
You do know, of course, that your theory is very close to Freud’s theory about homosexuality. People put the ole philosopher down but he occasionally came up with some pretty smart ideas.
