Gay men say Texas bar kicked them out for dancing

VICTORIA, Texas (AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union of Texas is supporting a gay couple after the men said they were kicked out of a South Texas nightclub for dancing together to country music.

The incident occurred Saturday night at a Victoria nightclub when Justin Meyer, 21, said he and his partner danced together to the country song "Cowboys and Angels," the Victoria Advocate reported (http://bit.ly/Jrh5hV ).

The men said a manager approached them and told them Cactus Canyon had a policy barring two men from dancing together to country music.

Meyer's partner, James Douglas, 30, said the manager told them they could dance together to rap or hip-hop music, but not country.

"So you're telling me it's OK for me to bump and grind my boyfriend to the song 'Bubble Butt,' but we can't dance a two-step?" Douglas told the newspaper.

But Cactus Canyon's director of operations, Robert Dillender, says the men were asked to leave because they were being disruptive.

I always figured dancing was for girls, pimply teenagers, and NFL endzones.

*snort* I'll pay more attention when they whine (if they survive afterwards) about not being able to "cuddle" in a muzzie / arabic ROP pub.

Until then, I view this as simply the latest attempt to propagandize another "intolerant" establishment by the Rainbow Gay Mafia Tolerance Determination Gestapo KGB.

Oh, crikey, I forgot: “Gay men” is a misnomer. Homosexual Deviants is the proper label. No true man would dishonor the term by the actions illustrated herein...

The homos can two-step out the door and over to the gay bar where abnormal people enjoy watching two males “bump and grind”.

Sodomites can’t dance and normal people can’t voice an opinion.

[However, Dillender said the club does have to “maintain the peace” under its obligation to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission. . .]

The gay couple were deliberately engaging in behavior aimed at provoking patrons of the bar into a confrontation, possibly violent. This was done either for publicity or a lawsuit or both. The management decided to remove the possibility of violence by removing the gays.

The ACLU has no business in this, unless the bar was owned by the Government.

I’d like to see President Cruz declare the ACLU a terrorist organization and have all it’s leadership arrested.

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking. The media just laps these stories up without question and paints "Texas" as some huge bigoted troglodyte place.

I KNEW there was more to the story.

Betcha these gays went full-retard and started "twerking" or something completely obnoxious that would get even a straight couple kicked out.

Then went running crying to mommy ACLU.

I do not know where you reside, oh little babushka, but is true that in many businesses in many places is sign next to establishment where is stated quite clearly in English.

Right to refuse "service" to anyone is indeed correct. If business suffers as result and forced to close, perhaps too many of anyones refused, but most business people know who their customers are, and if environment not support then go and reopen in place where their business concept more likeable.

Is very workable concept for business.

Established Law. Do search if not believe.

No doubt in my mind. It was a matter of when, not if, some patron would have said enough is enough. This manager saved himself a whole lotta bucks worth of damage by showing the homoextrovert provocateurs to the door.

I don't know what organization(s) it would be, but the aclu needs to be challenged at every turn by forces with an equal or greater amount of money and determination.

The the locals should put their ‘two cents’ in as well. Do not fear the fudgebacks or their enablers any longer, it only gives them a false sense of superiority.

Sometimes these stories are made up. I wonder if this is too?
