The trio were arrested on 9 February at a popular tourist destination – Playa del Ingles – on the south of the Spanish island.
They are accused of breaching fundamental human rights in the form of discrimination based on sexual orientation.
Telde guard, which has jurisdiction in Gran Canaria, is investigating the matter further.
Gran Canaria, the second most populous island in the Canary archipelago, is a popular holiday destination for many Europeans, especially Britons. Playa del Ingles is not the classiest of destinations.
