Lesbian kicked off Southwest Airline flight for kissing her girlfriend - Polidicks

[QUOTE=thisispain;32508655]are you insane?[/QUOTE] i think he's just saying that if you're going to be kicking people off of flights for signs of affection, don't discriminate and only kick off gays

[QUOTE=Kopimi;32509967]i think he's just saying that if you're going to be kicking people off of flights for signs of affection, don't discriminate and only kick off gays[/QUOTE] i think it would be a better policy to not kick off people for kissing at all.

People should be able to kiss in public if they want, it might not always be the most appropriate behaviour but it is not illegal.

There's a difference between a peck and a full on make out session, whenever I kiss in public I do a full kiss which is essentially two in one. That's okay and I'm not accusing this woman on the plane of doing anything more than that but if I can get away with it, she should too.

[QUOTE=thisispain;32510007]i think it would be a better policy to not kick off people for kissing at all.[/QUOTE] in his post he says he doesn't think people should get kicked off at all

I don't really see the evidence that this is homophobic - if they have a policy against excessive kissing, then they have a policy against excessive kissing and you just have to deal with it. It would be a different matter entirely if a girl gave another girl a quick peck on the cheek and got kicked out while a straight couple was making out in the row behind, but I have yet to see evidence that this was the case.

[QUOTE=dogmachines;32505120]The "natural" argument is bullshit. It's completely natural for me to take a crap everyday, yet I don't broadcast it when I'm about to do it and I don't do it in public.[/QUOTE] what yes you have you've been at a restaurant with people then announced "I'm going to the bathroom" then gone to the restaurant's bathroom and taken a shit when other people have been in the bathroom

It's different if it was just a kiss or full on going at it. It's really fucking weird either walking down the street or walking down the halls to see some couple sucking face and you're the lone person walking by. Bonus weird points if one of them pauses for a second to look up at you as you pass by.

i personally think everyone should boycott southwest, they have the shittiest passenger accommodations imaginable on an airline

[QUOTE=Zeke129;32502680]people who think kissing in public is awkward are idiot prudes who don't need to be pandered to[/QUOTE] why do you say such things public affection isn't my cup of tea but as long as I don't force it on others why am I an idiot prude

[QUOTE=STeel;32502278]I don't like seeing people kissing in public overall. In the same sense they should be kicking out straight couples kissing then, and fat chance that's going to happen P.S I don't mean it as in I'm oh so offended by it and I don't think they should be taken off the flight[/QUOTE] Seeing people kiss in public makes me want to fap.

[QUOTE=TBFundy;32513136]public affection isn't my cup of tea but as long as I don't force it on others why am I an idiot prude[/QUOTE] i wouldn't say idiot but it's pretty prudish to go "EEK" when two people kiss i mean you know your dad stuck his penis in your mom's vagina right?

[QUOTE=Cone;32508614]Yeah, I'm fairly certain it wasn't for that now. Seems more likely the woman flipped out because she thought it was discrimination that someone got a bit grossed out. I mean, I'm right behind her if that didn't happen. Dickish move if she was just kicked out for being a lesbian.[/QUOTE] What exactly makes you assume that's what happened? and if someone DID get grossed out they're childish. for fucks sake the attendant said "this is a 'family' airline" and she didn't mean family as in for people with kids she meant the fact that they were gay.

[QUOTE=TBFundy;32513313] it's just sort of disconcerting when I see the actual logical people on facepunch making claims that I expect from the lower rungs of intellegence[/QUOTE] bah don't take it so seriously

[QUOTE=Gustafa;32502334]I for one don't give a fuck if someone is making out with someone. I mind my own damn business.[/QUOTE] I don't mind it because I secretly watch

[QUOTE=thisispain;32513342]bah don't take it so seriously[/QUOTE] it's just kinda like watching your dad get drunk and make a fool of himself, or an idol making a sex tape or something like that

[QUOTE=TBFundy;32513392]it's just kinda like watching your dad get drunk and make a fool of himself[/QUOTE] i do that on a weekly basis and the only thing i suffer from is diminished kidney capacity just zeke being flippant and irreverent

This was just one occurrence, if this had been happening all the time it would actually be a big deal.

[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;32517369]This was just one occurrence, if this had been happening all the time it would actually be a big deal.[/QUOTE] It shouldn't happen even once.

[QUOTE=STeel;32502304]last time I checked there's lots of people that don't like it, but if you say so[/QUOTE] Who gives a shit if someone kisses someone else in public, why do so many people get grossed or disgusted when people kiss each other in public? It's a natural thing dammit.

Well thats a pretty dumb rule for Southwest to have. Seems a bit silly that she immediately calls homophobia though, Ill bet they would kick a straight couple off for kissing if said couple made a fuss about it like these two did. [editline]28th September 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=Megafanx13;32517378]It shouldn't happen even once.[/QUOTE] A rule is a rule. As long as its enforced equally for everyone then its fine. you dont have to fly southwest if you dont like it.

Talk about homophobia.

[QUOTE=Timebomb575;32517517]A rule is a rule. As long as its enforced equally for everyone then its fine. you dont have to fly southwest if you dont like it.[/QUOTE] It's funny because it isn't. You ever hear of a straight couple getting kicked off a plane for kissing, or do you think it just has never happened on a Southwest plane?

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;32506756]If they were full on making out or some shit I could understand it but for just a kiss this is ridiculous.[/QUOTE] exactly this.

[QUOTE=Zeke129;32502641]Straight couples kiss on planes and in airports all the time, it's extremely common "haha here come the apologists"[/QUOTE] I agree, hell an airport is kind of a bittersweet place as it is; a lot of people kiss loved ones goodbye before a long trip/move. If anything a few passengers or flight attendants saw two women kissing and deem gay behavior as anti-family friendly. So deep down it all has to do with the deep seated homophobic ways in American culture.
