THE Hampshire husband of TV star Stephen Fry has revealed the newlywed couple had to cut short their honeymoon due to homophobia.

Fry and 27-year-old Elliott Spencer, of Locks Heath, tied the knot in Norfolk earlier this year and QI host Fry, 57, posted a picture to his 8.5 million Twitter followers of the couple signing a marriage register.

As part of their honeymoon they visited central American country Honduras, where gay marriage is banned.

Mr Spencer was reported to have said: “We had a problem when we visited Honduras on holiday.

“It was homophobia. I don’t want to go into detail, but we had to leave.”

But he admitted that despite having to cut the trip short, travelling with his new husband had been an enjoyable experience.

He said: “Many of the countries Stephen’s been to before, but he likes to see them through new eyes with me.

“It has been an amazing bonding experience. Last year we did most of Europe, then went to America.”

Fry has campaigned on the issue before, especially in remembrance of the thousands of gay men who were persecuted for being gay, along with Enigma code breaker Alan Turing.

He said: “It was a nasty, malicious and horrific law and one that allowed so much blackmail and so much misery and so much distress, and Turing stands as a figure symbolic to his own age in the same way that Oscar Wilde was.”

After the couple married Mr Spencer’s dad Elliott, who lives in Hampshire, said he was “obviously happy” about the wedding in January.
