Texas club kicks gay couple to curb for dancing to country music

James Douglas and Justin Meyer were reportedly thrown out of Cactus Canyon on Saturday while dancing to Dustin Lynch’s ‘Cowboys and Angels.’ A club representative said the two were being disruptive, but the Karnes City couple claims managers were being homophobic.

Justin Meyer, right, and James Douglas, an openly gay couple, were asked to leave Texas club Cactus Canyon on Friday, allegedly because managers didn't like the idea of men dancing together.

A gay couple in Texas claims they were kicked out of a club in Victoria on Saturday night for dancing together.

James Douglas, 30, said he and and his boyfriend Justin Meyer, 21, were dancing at the club Cactus Canyon when a manager pulled Douglas off the floor and informed him that gay men couldn’t dance to country music at the establishment for security reasons.

“So he’s telling me that it would be perfectly acceptable to bump and grind all over my boyfriend to Bubble Butt, a song they play three times a night, but we can’t two-step to country music?” Douglas told The News.

Douglas said the couple had danced to several other songs at the club that night. But Dustin Lynch’s smooth crooning in “Cowboys and Angels” was apparently off limits.

The couple traces the manager’s decision to discrimination.

“It’s OK if girls with tight butts and big boobs dance together, whether they’re straight or lesbian, but gay guys can’t,” Douglas said. “They were just trying to defend their moral attitude toward us by making up this policy that doesn’t exist.”

Douglas, a reserve police officer, said it was the first time he’s felt singled out for being gay. His sexual orientation was never an issue in Karnes City, the small town in south Texas where he grew up.

The manager then threatened to have the pair arrested if they came back to Cactus Canyon.

 

 Douglas a dit "Quand on vous dit que vous ne pouvez pas faire quelque chose

à cause de votre orientation sexuelle, ou à cause de votre couleur

de peau ou genre, c'est un sentiment horrible" ça ne devrait pas être toléré. '

 Dans une interview sur une station de radio, un porte-parole du club

a défendu la position du manager du club

. "Pendant des décennies on a accepté ici, comme dans toutes sortes de clubs, que des femmes dansent ensemble  ... mais ce n'est pas acceptable pour des hommes

de danser ensemble dans le type d'activité) que nous gérons."

Douglas a décidé de rendre public son histoire parce qu'il a

voulu que d'autres dans la communauté LGBT puissent se sentir la force de se

défendre où que ce soit dans les média :  
"Je suis policier, je fais face à la peur. C'est mon métier," a dit Douglas.

 "Je n'ai jamais eu peur de tenir la main de mon petit ami en public. Je sais ce que

ça fait maintenant d'en être empêché."
