Carly is unbeatable of course... :P

Does it surprise you the the Mail would report a story like this?

Three British tourists are arrested by Spanish police after ‘mocking UK couple on holiday flight to Gran Canaria for being gay’

 

Incident happened on a flight from East Midlands to Gran Canaria

Gay couple subjected to abuse on flight and then on bus to terminal

They gave police descriptions of the men who were then tracked down

 

I'm surprised it's relatively factual with no comment one way or the other about homophobic northerners or else overly-sensitive gays being peeved by several hours of verbal slanging....

 

I'm not surprised it happened though. I'm from that area, and I travel to Playa Del Ingles as often as I can get away. Funny the culprits went to holiday in a very gay-friendly resort though, I mean the Yumbo centre is huge, all the bars are gay-centric and there are plenty of t***** shows every night. Sometimes people who protest too much in front of their loud-mouthed mates are over-compensating for something....

But would they have even known it was a gay-friendly resort? Holiday companies tend to tailor their advertising to whom they want to visit, and they may have omitted to mention that?

 

In any case, this is just idle speculation.

hold up. did you just seriously try to insinuate it's okay to be a loud homophobe if you merely "don't know" the laws of the place you are visiting? Regardless if it being a popular gay resport or not, which SHOULD NOT MATTER.

 

beyond inappropriate.

as for the "this is just speculation" part... what a load of nonsense. Technically yes but on a human level I'm positive this is more likely true than not. I mean come on. As if a gay couple who went to a popular gay-friendly resort in the middle of winter would lie and report someone in a foreign country just for the fun of it. I mean the plane was probably full of people, nevermind the flight attendants...

oh and yes don't forget that this was actually holiday companies' fault according to vidcapper. terrible terrible holiday companies not warning innocent homophobic brats that they need to stay away from certain places if they want to get away with their homphobia.

It's no excuse.

 

Also, WHY does the BBC looove shoving this man down our throats?

 

They are so right wing now it is unreal.

 

His party has 2% BBTory - please reflect this.

NO, I DID NOT TRY TO INSINUATE THAT - I CONDEMN HOMOPHOBIA AS MUCH AS ANYONE ELSE ON THIS FORUM!

Why does virtually everyone on this forum misinterpret my comments to put them in the worst possible light? :o

I love that you put an article about three homophobic people whose policital opinion is not stated in the UKIP thread :lol:

when has vidcapper ever stuck to the topic at hand though

not sure how one can possibly misinterpret that comment. why would it matter if supposed holiday companies put or didn't put 'super gay-friendly' in their supposed ads and how is it even relevant.

 

i smell a troll post now judging by this reaction though so imma leave it at that

I love that you put an article about three homophobic people whose policital opinion is not stated in the UKIP thread :lol:

 

Given how dead UKIP are - I think pretty much anything goes in here now. :lol:

Nobody here is tying to blame this alleged incident on the holiday company. Whether they mentioned the resort's reputation is irrelevant. Anybody going to a resort in western Europe (and the Canaries count as western Europe for this purpose) should assume that the place will be gay-friendly. They should also assume that homophobic abuse will be considered unacceptable.
