Stephen Fry and husband, Elliot Spencer's honeymoon in Honduras was ruined by homophobia, due to local resistance to homosexuality, says Spencer.

The 57-year-old actor and TV presenter Fry travelled with Elliott, his junior by 30 years, to the Central American country where gay marriage is banned.

"We had a problem when we visited Honduras on holiday," Spencer told the Daily Mail. "It was homophobia. I don’t want to go into detail, but we had to leave."
