VICTORIA, Texas – 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.
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.
