Mexican police arrested and fined a gay couple Sunday for kissing, according to Gay Star News.
Authorities say the two men, Jorge, 24, and Alan, 26, were "disturbing the peace" when they kissed on a street corner in La Paz, the capital of the Mexican state of Baja California Sur, around 10 p.m. on April 20.
According to the couple, a police officer approached them, hurled an anti-gay slur towards them and told them to go with him to the police station. The men refused, however, and the officer allegedly "violently" forced them into a van an took them to the station for a few hours.
They were released after paying 300 pesos ($23 USD) each.
