Ron McCoy and his partner Christopher Bowers boarded the shuttle bus from Albuquerque's Sunport Airport after flying in from their home in Portland, Oregon, the day before the Albuquerque Pride Festival began on June 28.
The couple was in town for a long-awaited road-trip, but their elation soon turned to dismay when the driver of the bus noticed they were holding hands and told them to sit at the back.
.
.
When they arrived at their destination, they had recovered enough to question the driver on his actions.

A fellow passenger witnessed the incident and gave the driver a piece of her mind.
'I told the bus driver that I was completely appalled that anybody would be treated this way,' Bernadette Aguirre told KRQE.
'And the driver looks back at us and goes, "I'll show you what's appalling," and he points to us,' McCoy said.
.
.
Standard Parking manager Bill Alberti told KRQE that the driver's conduct was inappropriate, but that he just 'overstepped a little bit'. The driver is still working for Standard Parking.
Alberti said following the incident, all drivers will undertake sensitivity and non-harassment training.
According to Alibi, the driver told them he told the couple to move because he didn't want 'women and children' to see the couple's 'inappropriate behavior.' He refused to comment further on what he felt was inappropriate.
McCoy says he and his partner have filed a complaint with the American Civil Liberties Union.

Probably a dyke or a goody two shoes nosy liberal.
Sounds like seeing two men fawn over each other was an upsetting experience for the driver, too. When will these faggots help him get some “closure”?
If so, we'd know that he was fired.
oh go in the closet and hug yourself, you wusses. mommy mommy they weren't nice to me.
There was nothing good about those days.
She has a girlfriend, watch out.
The bus driver should be praised, he did a good thing. Protect the eyes of the innocent. Last year my wife and I were swinging our grandchild on a swing at a children's playground. Two lesbian women made it a point to sit at a bench fifteen feet away and began lustily making out, fondling each other. I went over, got into their faces and chewed them out. (Not that kind of chewing out!) I yelled in their faces for being perverts and to get their filthy act out of there. They want to display perverted stuff within the view of children, to indoctrinate them.
This “story” is completely made up BS.
One Butt-Licker Already Looks Like He Has Aids.
Kicked off the bus? I remember the days when any such display would gotten you kicked off the planet! Or at least slapped silly.
Brainchild of society-transformation wing of O’ministration. So made up!
And... pictures don’t really help.
Looks like sprale just signed up today.
Do I detect a phony “set up” for a lawsuit? I notice that the article conveniently had a witness to the “hatecrime”?
Sure, they are two regular Rosa Parks...if Rosa Parks was a sexually deviant attention whore.
Are you talking about priests? Interesting that NONE of the posters bring issue of pedophiles in church. Many pedophiles are married to women and have children. One of my friends is detective who is dealing with a crimes against children. Based on his remarks 99% of pedophiles are heterosexual man. Don’t confuse apples and oranges.:-)
Which one gets to be Rosa?
