Cactus Canyon in Victoria accused of kicking out gay couple for second time in two years

For the second time in two years, gay customers are alleging they were kicked out of the same bar in South Texas because of their sexual orientation.

In 2011, three women said they were kicked out of the Cactus Canyon in Victoria by an employee who told them, “This is a country western bar, not a gay bar.” Two of the women reportedly had been holding hands.

Now, a gay couple says they were kicked out of the Cactus Canyon on Saturday night for dancing together.

Justin Meyer and James Douglas were also issued a trespassing warning, according to UPI.com.

“He told me they have a policy that states that they don’t allow males to dance with males to country songs. I said just country, and he said yes,” Douglas said.
