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.

Don’t make your pubic life public.

Sorry not sex it was sodomy big difference.
Considering the recent news, do you think Birth Control would have helped them out? Opps, should have written Self Control.
Used to know someone who retired after 20 years in the Air Force at 39 years old, then got a job with the county and retired at 60 with 2 full pensions.
Next time I go to the Caribean. Somebody remind me not to try the pulled pork.
I wonder what else they don’t put up with. Interesting to find out, for as you said: “Who knows, we may need political asylum there soon.”
What would Shabba Ranks say?
On a trip to Canada last year, there were homosexual displays in advertisements for businesses, equated with heterosexual displays nearby. You will be seeing this everywhere if Mittens is elected. NEWT 2012
The cruise ship should have kept them aboard and then fed them to the fish about 20 miles at sea. I’d hope the sharks don’t get gas — that would upset PETA.
“Jay Mayer, 43”
“Mayer, a retired deputy sheriff”
California is still some $20B in the red. Having deputy sheriffs retire at age 43 just might be part of the problem. I’d also like to know if it was a ‘disability’ retirement.
Because they have none?
Hmm .. I have wondered where all of the homophobes are.. I have never in my life met a homophobic person. I hate fags just as much as the majority of the populace, but how can anyone be scared or terrified of queers?!
Stupidity in public has it’s own rewards. In this case the two dolts in question obviously forgot that if you bugger your buddy in public you ain’t gonna get any respect from anybody cause you are being disgusting in public as well as stupid as can be.
