ROSEAU, Dominica (AP) - Two California men on a gay cruise of the Caribbean were arrested Wednesday in Dominica, where sex between two men is illegal.

Police Constable John George said police boarded the cruise ship and arrested the two men on suspicion of indecent exposure and "buggery," a term equivalent to sodomy on the island. He identified the men as John Robert Hart, 41, and Dennis Jay Mayer, 43, but did not provide their hometowns.

George said the men were seen having sex on the Celebrity Summit cruise ship by someone on the dock.

That’s another woman. She’s in the Mittness protection program now.

In South Carolina, buggery has yet another meaning.

bummer,, probably don’t allow conjugal visits either.

[Revolting cat!]

Seriously, let’s watch for the State Department intervention.

"Aaargh, buggery on the high seas, er...tied up at pier!"

Not even gonna bring up the Poop Deck....

If I recall correctly, a few years ago, Rosie O’Donnell filled a cruise ship with homosexual families. And if I recall correctly, they denied Rosie and her ship permission to dock somewhere in the Caribbean.

Gays should really be thankful in America that they are treated so well, compared to some other places in the world.

Maybe good advice considering this incident, is don’t try to shove it down the throat of other countries which aren’t as tolerant as we are.

[Revolting cat!]

Evidently one of the arrestees was a decorated Rear Admirer!

WTF??????

[citizencon]

The gay travel company didn’t do its homework.

[Chode]

Pathos on the high seas, below decks... or tired to the pier on the deck as the case maybe

The irony of the situation wasn't lost on me.

Opportunity beckons. Start a gay travel agency that does its homework. All you hafta do is learn to lisp.

Poop deck, sloop deck, Ollie Ollie oop deck…
Oh, what the heck, what the heck...
Btw, the poop deck is the stern deck...perhaps stern Dominica justice will have these two buggerers gelded!

[Libloather]

Everything shouldn't HAVE to be taught...

Frommer's Tips for Travelers

Snip: Most of the gay and lesbian community regards the Cayman Islands as gay-hostile as opposed to gay-friendly.

In 1998 the Cayman Islands government notoriously turned away Norwegian Cruise Lines Leeward, which was carrying 900 gay passengers. The tourism directors at George Town stated at the time: "We cannot count on this group to uphold the standards of appropriate behavior expected of visitors to the Cayman Islands." The decision drew massive protest in America, with many groups, even travel agents, discouraging travel to the Cayman Islands or calling for a complete boycott of the Cayman Islands.

What happens in Dominica, stays in Dominica (we hope).
