Haha, yeah I think so. Heaven forbid you sag your pants on a fucking airplane.

Gayers?

But yeah, that's pretty much it, I think. If you think about it, who are the public more likely to notice giving each other a "modest kiss," Joe and Jane Hetero, or two gay dudes or two lesbians. They are used to hetero couples showing each other affection in public, because it's something you expect of a "proper family unit," so they don't notice it, or see it as "normal." Hell, kids see it on Disney all the fucking time. But when it comes to queers they still haven't quite gotten Freud's "homosexuals be perverts" crap out of their heads yet (gee, they're slow on the uptake...) and so don't see queers as any other couple sharing a kiss in public. Instead they see...zomg ze deviantz be corrupting ze childrenz!

Clearly lesbians and scruffy men aren't the kind of custom they want in their plane, so why not get a bad name for themselves as judgemental idiots to attract the 'right' kind of customer..

Sometimes when people have an idea of how things are, they don't notice when their ideas are flawed. Gayers are sexualised just by existing, therefore, when we hold hands, kiss or have a snog fest, it is much more obvious to these small-minded 'family' oriented bigots than any heterosexual shenanigans.

I hope enough people see the wrong in this to damage their profits.

That guy was Billie Joe Armstrong, of Green Day.

Maybe they just hate celebrities?

Nah, it wasn't Bill Joe (though they kicked him off, too). There was a US college basketball player or some such that was kicked off a plane (same airline, I'm pretty sure) for sagging his pants a few months ago, too. I think that's who she was referring to? There was a big hoopla over it, I recall.

They also had an issue with a director or an actor because he was supposedly too fat for his seat. I'll have to look that one up.

Southwest is also becoming known as "The Seat Nazi Airline" when it comes to requiring fat people to buy an extra seat (sometimes even when the plane isn't completely full or even without checking to see if they fit first)

Yeah Kevin Smith was kicked off that same airline because he was too fat. Either they don't like celebrities or they have a list of people they want kicked off the plane so fat people, baggy pant wearing poeple, and lesbians.

So, if I'm a rail-thin, heterosexual in a full pantsuit, I should be okay?
