Six transwomen denounced being subjected to discrimination when the PArque de Diversiones amusement park denied them entry.
The park responded they were seen using drugs and alcohol before entering.
They reply they weren’t, and the amusement park has no proof.
The park declared they are not apologizing and asserted they did nothing wrong.
Costa Rica has laws against “indecency” that are often used as tools to discriminate.
