anyone notice the Orbitz commercial
the one where the rep lands his hovercraft on the golf course with the four guys playing, to give three of them a check? Have you notices the guy on the right has the little blue and yellow equality patch on his shirt?. Partner pointed it out to me, I tend to not see detail on commercials.

1. Yep and I also noticed the Orbitz guy looks EXACTLY like Keith Olbermann

2. Just hunted it up on youtube. You're right. Plain as day.
I'd never noticed it, either. Very cool.

7. Ha, and if you look in the comments
there is a rainbow flag in one of the golf bags.

OTOH somehow this doesn't look like the one I see many times a night. If it weren't Warcraft tonight I'd record one or more.

3. Makes sense, gay people do travel. We have a very friendly rep. at our
hotel. We do not care, money is green.. and I think we tend to go out of our way to make everyone feel welcome; but I know I especially try and make sure our GLBT guests feel welcome... word of mouth is good for business. The last couple was on honeymoon.. good looking ladies from NY... they said I was very romantic when the places I sent them turned out really well.

Anyway, the travel industry and hospitality in general loves anyone with money.. and believe me we cannot wait until gay marriage is golden in every state... Weddings are Depression proof.

8. I know two gay guys who play golf. I thought it was shocking when they came out of the golf closet.
It's not something nice people talk about. I mean, golf? The clothes, the tedium, the lack of a dance floor.

5. Orbitz has a section of their website devoted to gay travel, IIRC...
:thumbsup:

6. We noticed that a couple weeks ago
Too bad we did not before then though, we had already made our travel plans for Nov in Vermont to get married since it is still not legal here in NC. As a matter of fact the same selfservative goober introduces the anti gay amendment every chance he gets. I forget his name off hand, but he is not the rep for our rural district (who is much friendlier to gay folks). We live in rural Caswell County and everyone has been friendly since we moved here a bit over 2 years ago.
