A group of queer tourists hailing from several different countries were thrown out of the Lost in the Renaissance festival on the southern Adriatic island of Korcula last weekend in an incident motivated by homophobia, Zagreb Pride reported on Friday.

According to Zageb Pride, at the end of the first day of the festival, held at The Jungle Club, outside Korcula town, one of the bouncers separated by force two young men who were dancing holding each other. The bouncer ordered: “No kissing, just dancing!”

Shortly after that, another bouncer poured a bottle of water onto another two young men who were napping on a bench in each other’s arms. In the end, the bouncers kicked the young men out, Zagreb Pride said.

The homophobic incidents were reported to Zagreb Pride, the organizers of the Lost in the Renaissance festival, the Aminess Hotel management and the Korcula town authorities.

Zagreb Pride said nobody reacted to the reported incidents.

Zagreb Pride also recalled another incident that took place in June in Zagreb where two Spanish women, during their business stay in Croatia’s capital, suffered lesbo-phobic insults from Zagreb residents.
