Attention Dallas DUers...You Should Protest in Front of....


.......Southwest Airlines World HQ....these guys are taking behavioral issues to a new ANAL level. The next thing they will do is divert because someone is snoring. Corporations should be in the business of serving their customers and not legislating what they think is right or wrong especially if it doesn't affect safety.

A lesbian actress who starred in "The L-Word" says she kissed a girl - and got escorted off of a Southwest Airlines flight for doing it.

Leisha Hailey took to Twitter on Monday to call for a boycott of the carrier after a flight attendant told them other passengers had complained after witnessing the affection.

Her first tweet said: "I have been discriminated against." She later added, "Since when is showing affection to someone you love illegal?"

Southwest Airlines Co. responded on its website that Hailey was approached "based solely on behavior and not gender." The airline's four-sentence response said passengers were characterizing the behavior as excessive.

1. Somewhere a Southwest publicist has his eyes closed, his
hands squeezed together and is murmuring to himself "Oh, please, oh please"!

Funny how Southwest tends to throw celebrities off the plane!

2. Unless SWA removed her because she was kissing another woman...
then they are within their rights to define what they feel is appropriate behavior.

This ASSUMES, of course, that they would have reacted THE SAME WAY had it been a hetero couple kissing in the same manner.



This is only a problem if it was because she is a lesbian...
