CARACAS, Nov 4 (IPS) -- One Friday at around midnight, on Villaflor Street, a favourite spot for gays and lesbians in the Venezuelan capital, Yonatan Matheus and Omar Marques noticed two Caracas police patrol vans carrying about 20 detainees, most of them very young.

When Marques and Matheus, who are gay leaders of the Venezuela Diversa (Diverse Venezuela) organisation, approached to find out what was happening and take pictures, they were picked up too.

“Like most of those arrested, our identity documents and mobile phones were taken away, we were beaten, our sexual orientation was insulted in degrading language, and we were refused permission to speak to the Justice Ministry officials and members of the National Guard who were present,” Matheus told IPS.

Great things coming out of Venezuela, and its not okay because its not in your own country……..and this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t vacation there……….. and they are real cool…….. so i think i covered my bases!
