L-Word actress and partner/bandmate get kicked off of Southwest Airlines for kissing ›
http://news.yahoo.com/l-word-actress-says-kiss-brief-modest-230529556.html
Take a look at this article that I came across on Yahoo!. The openly lesbian band, Uh Huh Her (that I had the pleasure of seeing in concert here in Philly….and they were AWESOME btw) were on a flight on Southwest airlines and they shared a “modest kiss” according to band member Leesha Hailey, also remembered as Alice Piasecki from the L-Word. Southwest, however claimed that their affection was “excessive” and that other passengers were complaining. The flight attendant then told the band that Southwest is a “family airline”.
The ladies then got upset, and verbally aggressive leading to them being escorted off of the plane.
Check out the link above for more details on the issue.
I personally feel that the flight attendant was extremely out of line, and that Leisha and Camilla had EVERY right to get angry, especially since he/she said that it was a “FAMILY AIRLINE”. What the hell did they mean by that?!
Just goes to show that gay rights will always be a fight and it is up to everyone that are strong believers in equality to take a stand for such injustice.
How do you feel about this? Post your comments below!
