The FA's involved were female. Witnesses on the plane have backed up the
lover's story.

What would the lawsuit be based on? There is no US law preventing FA's
discriminating based on sexual preference.

Kind of reminds me of that funny Jim Stafford song, "My Girl Bill"
After leading you on with an impression that it is about 2 guys, it ends
with: "She's my girl, Bill" (important comma. :) )

LOL... I went to my first one this year, in SF, as I was doing a
promotion for a movie company, and giving away t-shirts for the movie,
"Dreamgirls".
I emerged from the BART stairwell on Market, near Powell, in time to
hear the roar of the approaching Dykes on Bikes. The press said there
were 600 motorcyles present. Shortly after this, there was a parade of
law enforcement walking hand in hand with their lovers. BART was packed,
and many crossdressers (male and female) were onboard. I was amazed by
the number of apparently straight people that had brought their
families, including those with small children on their shoulders.
I really saw no PDA's that I would have considered too risque.
I also believe that hetero couples are far more likely to be involved in
R (or better) rated PDA's in public, especially in public
non=gay-oriented places like on a scheduled carrier.
Had this been Air France, it would have been a non-issue.
The threat of flight diversion for having a disagreement with the FA
over this, is ridiculous. Disagreement with an FA is NOT a matter of
national security.
Regarding the AA issue, which seems to have had a delayed posting here.
It has been discussed for days on FlyerTalk. I doubt anything happened
on the plane, other than what was described by the 2 people involved and
the non-airline witnesses. Someone on FT knows one of the people
involved and discussed this with him.
Yeah, Nomen, I anxiously await your comments. You seem to like talking
about sex, even when it has nothing to do wiht the topic.

Maybe one of the male flight attendants got jealous? So
long as they avoid kicking the back of my seat during their
amorous revels, I'd far prefer a pair of affectionate gay
men as neighbors to someone's bratty, undisciplined children!

Ummmm.... first define "poor taste". Agreed, overt
expressions of affection between gay men might make some
heterosexuals uncomfortable, but so what? Fifty or so years
ago, people didn't perceive "sexual content" whenever people
showed affection for one another - same sex couples or not.
(And before people became so self-conscious about how
others might perceive them, there was usually nothing
"sexual" about it.)

OTOH, there's the more general idea of not publicly enjoying something that you
have and the people around you don't.
Probably long-forgotten by now, but it used to be impolite to consume food in
public without offering some to those nearby.
Putting aside any sexual/gender mores, making out in public would seem to fit
the same pattern as enjoying food....

Of course it is wrong for a couple of fags to get into foreplay on an
airplane. Children could see that and grow up believing the whole world
is ****ing nuts. If fudge packers get in your face, they should get
slapped silly.

Most of the world isn't queer. Except for the Islamic extremists who

Every year they show highlights of these Gay Pride parades, and it's
all just guys in chaps or thongs hanging out their dicks and making
out. There are never any lesbians. Oh wait, I take it back...there
are lesbians, but only the bulldyke kind dressed in Brooks Bros. suits
and big fat asses. Never the good kind of lesbians like they have in
pornos.
