KEY WEST, Fla. (AP) - Three heterosexual couples said they were turned away from a hotel in this gay-friendly tourist spot because of their sexual orientation.
The six were vacationing with a gay couple and had reservations at a hotel called Big Ruby's when the three straight couples were turned away.
"The manager literally said, 'We don't want you here,'" said Jim Pirih, who was vacationing with his partner and straight friends.
The group was already settled in their rooms Wednesday when the manager told the straight couples they would have to leave, citing a policy of not allowing heterosexuals on the property, Pirih said.
