Jonathan Bennett said that he and his fiancé were rejected by their dream wedding venue because the owner said it was "against his morals" to marry two men.

Bennett, who played Aaron Samuels in 2004's "Mean Girls," is on the cover of the latest issue of The Knot. In his interview, he told the publication about the upsetting incident he and his fiancé, TV show host Jaymes Vaughan, had to go through.

"For years, we planned to get married at Palace Resorts in Mexico. When we got engaged, the owner said he couldn't marry us because we're two men and it goes against his morals," Bennett said. "That was a sucker punch to the gut."

Insider has reached out to Palace Resorts for comment.

However, Bennett said that the incident made them decide that their wedding was actually bigger than just a normal wedding. The actor said the wedding isn't about them, it's about the LGTBQ+ community, and they are now intent on making their wedding "very loud on purpose."

1. I saw mean girls and can't believe it's been 17 years.

I would imagine he’ll sue the company as he should. A Hollywood actor getting the door is not cool at all. Well nobody should. It’s like these companies don’t care about revenue. This has to stop. Congress need to pass a law.

3. Sue in Mexico?

Boycott seems more likely to hurt that resort.

2. That's so specious. Morals smorals.

The venue is immoral.

Jesus says love everyone like yourself.

Morals has nothing to do with it.
