Southwest Is At It Again
Those fun hating twats at Southwest have already told Kevin Smith that he was too fat to fly, told Billy Joe Armstrong that he was too saggy to fly, told some other chick that she was too slutty to fly and now they've told Leisha Hailey of The L-Word that she's too lezzie-ish to fly.
Leisha raised her fist on Twitter and demanded an apology from Southwest after she says she and her girlfriend were told to get the fuck off of the plane for arguing with a flight attendant who told them to stop kissing in front of everyone. Leisha says that Southwest played the THINK OF THE CHILDREN card on her and now they're officially dead to her.
I have been discriminated against by @SouthwestAir. Flt. attendant said that it was a "family" airline and kissing was not ok.
4 hours agoThis is an outrage. I demand a public apology by @SouthwestAir and a refund. Hate is not a family value. I will never fly this airline.
4 hours agoWe were escorted off the plane for getting upset about the issue. @SouthwestAir endorses homophobic employees. No one made her accountable.
4 hours agoSince when is showing affection towards someone you love illegal? I want to know what Southwest Airlines considers as "family".
4 hours agoI know plenty of wonderful same sex families I would like to introduce them to. Boycott @SouthwestAir if you are gay. They don't like us.
4 hours agoDid I mention to @SouthwestAir that I have a lot of their actions recorded on audio and video? RT #boycottSouthwest #discrimination
3 hours ago
Southwest put out a statement saying that several passengers complained that Leisha and her girlfriend were doing some "excessive" PDA shit and their staff took it off the plane after the argument got a little too thick.
Initial reports indicate that we received several passenger complaints characterizing the behavior as excessive. Our crew, responsible for the comfort of all Customers on board, approached the passengers based solely on behavior and not gender. The conversation escalated to a level that was better resolved on the ground, as opposed to in flight. We regret any circumstance where a passenger does not have a positive experience on Southwest and we are ready to work directly with the passengers involved to offer our heartfelt apologies for falling short of their expectations.
What is considered excessive, though? I mean, were Leisha and her piece clitty wrestling right there in the middle of the aisle? Were they sucking on each other's tongues while their bare nipple holes blew air kisses at each other? Did they do the vertical 69 on one of the seats? Did their make-out noises sound like a walrus sticking his tongue into a parfait bowl? I guess we won't know until Leisha release those tapes. But Southwest is still a mess. You can't be fat. You can't sag your pants. You can't be a slut. You can't kiss your lesbian piece.
The only reasonable response to this is to fill all of Southwest's flights with saggy pants-wearing fat gay sluts who are attached at the tongue. It's the only way.
I think we're a short while away from 24/7 security audio-video in planes in flight, like in banks, buses, metro stops, etc. How do you like that?

Sorry but I hate excessive PDA of any kind, straight or gay. And you know what? Kevin Smith IS too fucking fat.
hahaha. Some folks are saying it was promotion for her crap band's tour, which is starting any day.

I must say I'm surprised to see that so many people on here are prudes and ignoring the real issue of homophobia--whether it was the employee, or other passengers. I get pretty pissed off when faced with outright discrimination, so I might have a few choice words to say about it.
IDK, I guess I overestimated people on the D, that so many comments are about PDA when there was no indication that there was anything excessive in their behavior. *shrug*
I don't think homophobia was an issue. Southwest seems to throwing errbody off of planes these days. The issue is that they were perceived by the flight attendant to have been acting inappropriately, and on top of that, were stupid enough to argue.
Whatever. We'll probably never know the real story...Southwest will have their version, and this trick that I've never heard of before this post will have hers.

From what i read today, it wasn't that they kissed or PDA but it was the loud, disruptive behavior that caused them to be tossed out.
i am for having their asses thrown out because they were cussing up a storm in the presence of children and if I were flying I'd get nervous thinking these bitches are a distraction for some hijacking. Sorry, but that's what it boils down to.
Can't play shit like this anymore on a plane. Sky captains have no wiggle room anymore for shit.

Most of you playing the "I don't like ANY PDA, regardless of who is doing it" card would be just as defensive as this woman if you were in her shoes and faced discrimination all your life. My younger cousin is a lesbian and we were raised on the reservation and everybody there is a biggot. She couldn't even walk around holding her girlfriends hand without becoming a target for catcalls and idiots telling them that they were gross.
It's easy to have an opinion about something you know absolutely nothing about.
Apparently you don't have very good reading comprehension skills. I don't recall anyone saying that they had a problem with the PDA because it was by two lesbians. We all said that extreme PDA is inappropriate by any couple, regardless of homo or heterosexuality. Don't get all pissy with us...WE didn't kick them off of the plane.

It looks like they did offer a refund.
Southwest Airlines fucking sucks. I'm just curious whether the employee was a homophobe, or if she really was responding to homophobic complaints.
**OMFG two women kissed. The gays exist!**
I don't want to see couples slobbering on each other in public, but when heterosexual couples do it, no one says anything about 'family values' or 'family atmosphere.' They may not be married and have 10 kids at home, but because they're opposite sex, it's in compliance with family values? This bullshit about "family" has become a joke. The U.S. is a fucked-up mess of short-sightedness and complete hypocricy. Oh, and I hate people. Period.
Can't for the life of me understand why the posters here are automatically siding with Southwest. Lets stop pretending here that these two ladies were about to fuck and think about how the rest of the country views gays and lesbians, especially the cheap SOBs who fly Southwest. We're suppose to believe that this actress was behaving inappropriate when it's entirely possible that some bigot went ape shit when they saw gays kissing and complained to the flight attendant. The women grew angry because their innocent kiss made a few homophobic passengers uncomfortable. Its disheartening to read these comments here with everyone siding with this corporate behemoth and turning their backs on their fellow brethren.

On other website people are automatically siding with the airlines cause "obviously these women were creating a spectacle" Southwest seems to be a on a tear lately, throwing a Muslim woman off the plane cause a bigot assumed she said "it's a go" (implying she was planning a terrorist attack), throwing people off plans for disagreeing with their style of dress, etc. I'm definitely siding with the lesbians in this case. Since I already abhor Southwest Airlines and refuse to fly their cattle trough of an airline, I urge everyone to boycott this low cost low class carrier.

I guess it's best to end a relationship the same way you start it: absolutely fucking tanked. MK 6/11
I am on the fence with this one. While on one hand I am in complete agreement with most of you - full on making out in an enclosed tight space where others are forced to watch is classless and foul. However, I was involved in a similiar situation at a birthday party at Dave and Busters in Time Square (I KNOW). My friend (who is gay) decided to have his birthday party there (AGAIN - I KNOW). They threw us out because he kissed his boyfriend at one point (NOT makeout - just a quick kiss - I witnessed). They said it was a family establishment - meanwhile 8th grade straight kids were full on dry humping on top of the video game machines. They didn't seem to care about that.
So was it a quick peck, lovey dovy hand hold and some anti-gay passenger threw a fit? Or, were they being inappropriate?

You really have to side clap and pucker for a piece who can stand next to a white feather and out-gay it. - MK 8/3/2011
I worked in retail and had to call security to arrest a woman. After we tracked her down in the mall, and as we walked back to the store, she screamed the entire time "I'S BECAUSE I'M BLACK!!!". No, bitch, it was because you stole shirts and I saw you do it. Same situation here. Quit effing pulling the discrimination card in an attempt to excuse and hide your bad behavior! She was making out on the plane and got huffy with staff. TEAM SOUTHWEST!
I'm on team Southwest. As a former flight attendant, I had a similar situation happen on a flight to Orlando. Two lesbians were sitting next to each other, then one climbs on the other's lap facing her and they start making out. And this was on a plane packed with families.
Passengers were shooting dirty looks, and a flight attendant called the pilot to put the seatbelt sign on as a means to get the girl back in her seat.
If that had been a heterosexual couple it still would have been inappropriate. There is some shit you just don't do in public. Period.
i dont care if people are straight or gay, DONT FUCKING KISS or makeout infront of me please.
seriously, the whole world doesnt need to see your business and is it that hard to keep your saliva in your own mouth until you get home. seriously.
lovey dovey shit IN PUBLIC makes me want to throw up.
having said that, ive been on a plane where this couple was making out and the girl was giggling with her boyfriend cuz they couldnt keep their hands of each other. they should have thrown them off the plane, but they didnt.
and i think if it had been 2 gay dudes or gayelles at it, they would have thrown them out.
i hate playing the people hate gays GLAAD card, but straighties, but straight people do have it easier.

I don't want to see any couple making out on a plane--I don't care if they're the world's hottest, coolest, most famous couple, of whatever sex or orientation. By the same token, I don't want to see people picking their noses, grabbing their crotches, changing a diaper, or peeing. It's not a hotel or your house. You're in public, surrounded by other (trapped) paying customers, so have a little thought for them.
-----------------------------------------------------
Totally agree. This bitch doesn't want to admit that she was behaving inappropriately. I hate when any couple, straight or gay, is making out. What a shallow show that is.
I also want to add tht I don't want to see anyone flossing, clipping their nails (I nearly vomited when someone did that in my row once), getting shit faced drunk, and cussing out loud. People have no common courtesy anymore.

^^So true!!! I wish the people who do this would see they are making the issue worse, not better. If you cry wolf at every single thing, nobody is going to take you seriously. Bringing attention to this does nothing for the LGBT community other than make them look bad. Way to show your support, Leisha.
The same goes for Basement Baby. Wow, you made yourself look like a joke and now you're saying it's racist? That's good, so when a real racial issues comes up, nobody will listen.
Wow! Who knew there were so many prudes on the D!
I have no problem with PDA and, having shown affection to my husband, young daughter, sister, father, and girlfriend in public--of a comparable level (hugging, handholding, pecks on the cheek/mouth)--my daughter has sat in my lap, hugged me, laid her head on my shoulder.
Even though I have generally been more subdued in public with a girlfriend because I know the reaction I will get, the ONLY time I have gotten glares or a side-eye is when I am with a group of very obvious gayelles or shown affection to my girlfriend--and that includes handholding. This would be at a public park where there are tons of other families milling about, couples holding hands.
Come on, people, I would be surprised if they were doing anything that a straight couple wouldn't do, and that passengers (and employees) would at the very least have let it slide with a straight couple.
This is what happens when people are forced to see gays openly showing affection in public, the inner homophobe feels uncomfortable, and they play the "inappropriate" card, when at most they would've given a passing thought of something like, "Gross, I hate PDA!" had it been a straight couple. Nothing would have been said to the couple, certainly not: There are families on here.
I say, get over it, people are gay.

This shit pisses me off. OK, Southwest is the same airlines that kicked off a man for wearing pants below his ass and a woman for wearing a skanky skirt. Don't like their policies? Choose another airline or don't fly.
I don't like PDA from ANYBODY - especially in the confines of an airplane where I can't get away from it. If they were kicked off the flight, that means they were asked to stop and refused to or raised a stink about it. They deserved to be kicked off for that.

that is such a cute story. it's nice to see other parents raising their children to have open minds. sometimes i see my sons autism as a blessing. he doesnt judge people. we have two gay family friends and when he sees them, he says hi jeff! hi jeff's boyfriend! and i don't think he even thinks twice about that being okay or not, and i love that. but...that being said, other kids probably have the same thing going on simply because they learned at home that it's okay, that love happens to people in all kinds of ways and they just accept that and move on. that's how we should be raising our children.

On a related note, I found a page 3 from the Sun on the sidewalk while walking with my 6 year-old daughter, and this is the UK so she was topless. I picked it up, folded it and put it in my pocket (wait, did I get rid of it or have I been walking around with that?!) and asked her if she saw. She said 'yes, that girl wasn't wearing a bra'. If that happened when I was little my mom would have imploded and never would have addressed it, she's always been so repressed and I suspect it made me a bit pervy as a kid (though only in my mind!). So I explained that some newspapers and magazines show this and it's kind of sad that some girls choose or need to make money this way because they're not using their brain. She completely forgot about it before I was even finished explaining. I think it's best just to address these things rather than create a curiosity or mystery around it, but be careful not to make it a big issue in doing so. We've also told her that some kids have two moms or two dads and although she was surprised to hear that at first, she now knows that families and couples come in every combination. She had met my friends who are a gay couple a few months ago and I never mentioned anything until the other day when I said they had gotten married. Two seconds of 'really?' and then right back to playing.
In a situation where people are being gross, best just to laugh it off.
I'd kick her off too, gimme a fucking break with that shit and save it for home...I don't want to see straight or gay people kiss; period
Kiss whomever you like, chickie, just don't do it on a fucking AIRPLANE. I don't like to see anyone sucking face in public; it's so nasty.
I always fly American, but am headed to a conference in Baltimore next month, and AA doesn't have direct flights there (lame). So I'm flying Southwest for the first time. I'm not gonna lie: I'm a little nervous I'll step out of line without meaning to.

Kate and Leisha are actually friends off the show.
I, too, cannot believe Kate is related the Fishsticks. I've read that she's been called the "anti-Gwen" because they are so different.
It makes me think of Gray Gardens and how different Jackie Kennedy ended up from Little Edie. You'd think cousins would be more alike (PATTY DUKE IS A LIAR!!!)
Before I did the scroll down, I thought MK was going to say she was kicked off for being too headband-y to fly. Really? This headband? Wasn't this popular 5 years ago at Hot Topic. Headbands: DIAF!
I do hope that the passengers didnt complain because they were homophobic.
Man, I dont know how anyone can give a shit about that, I for one am so scared of flying they could literally fuck on the aisle, aslong as there are no turbulences.Plus,what I really hate on planes is when the person infront of me, pushes their sit back to the max without even checking if my head is in the way or not.
I would try to avoid flying Southwest, not only because they seem to be cunts, but because they arent that much of a safe airline (if you are as afraid of flying as me,you know shit like that)
Suck face on your own time.
Never got this chick, she was always the ugliest (imo) on the show. Granted, I only saw the first couple of seasons (Shane fan, can't believe she's related to GOOP) but it seems she's almost as self involved irl as her character. Nothing trumps Jenny though, that one was a bigger bitch than Kyle's mom.
I agree with those who think it was the arguing rather than the PDA. Getting into an attendants face is not going to end well.
Ummm sorry but I can't stand PDA's either. Stupid of her to raise the GAY card.
I'm sure it probably was excessive. This bitch just saw an opportunity to get attention over the whole incident.
