A gay couple was forced to sit in the back of a shuttle bus in New Mexico simply for holding hands.They are now considering legal action against the bus company.

Ron McCoy and Chris Bowers, hopped on a Standard Parking shuttle bus and sat in the front of the vehicle holding hands. The driver, Mychael Jones said that “Okay, if you're going to do that, you're going to the back of the bus."

The shuttle driver, Mychael Joneswas asked about why he made the gay couple to move to the back of the bus. He said he didn't want “women and children” to see the couple's “inappropriate behavior.” When asked to identify the "inappropriate behavior," he would not comment any further.

Bill Alberti, manager of Standard Parking, told that drivers have the right to ask customers to move if they are unruly or causing a disturbance.

The couple has since filed a complaint with the American Civil Liberties Union.
