Reuters:
quote:
A gay kiss in a swimming pool, which two men say got them thrown out of a luxury hotel, has caused a stir in traditionally macho Mexico, where open displays of homosexuality are frowned upon.

Gerardo Eliud and his partner, Samir Habdu, told police in Los Cabos, a plush beach resort city popular with U.S. tourists, that security guards beat them up and threw them into the street with their luggage after spotting them kissing in the hotel pool in December.

But when leftist deputies demanded an investigation into the incident in Congress this week, they were angrily shouted down by legislators from other parties who argued the subject was unfit for discussion in the chamber.
...
A spokesman for the hotel said it had documents and witness statements proving the couple's version of the events was false.

He insisted the hotel was gay-friendly and said the pair was thrown out for "making inappropriate advances at other guests."

Of course, discussing homophobia in the chamber, what were they thinking....!!!
Talking about petty, narrow-minded people....

Yeah, right. I can understand the caution, because as we all know you can catch homosexuality just by talking about it. These mofo's are pathetic!

Okay... so let's see this "evidence", if it's so convincing. I don't buy it...
