Hailey, 40, tweeted that a flight attendant had told her that Southwest "was a 'family' airline and kissing was not ok," and that she and her companion were then "escorted off the plane for getting upset about the issue." "SouthwestAir endorses homophobic employees," she tweeted. "Since when is showing affection toward someone you love illegal? I want to know what Southwest Airlines considers a 'family.'" She went on to tweet: "Boycott SouthwestAir if you are gay. They don't like us." Hailey, who starred on Showtime network's "The L Word" as Alice, a bisexual magazine writer and radio host, also demanded a public apology. The airline issued a statement saying initial reports it received about the incident "indicate that we received several passenger complaints characterizing the behavior as excessive." "Our crew, responsible for the comfort of all customers on board, approached the passengers based solely on behavior and not gender," the airline said. "The conversation escalated to a level that was better resolved on the ground, as opposed to in flight." The statement concluded: "We regret any circumstance where a passenger does not have a positive experience on Southwest and we are ready to work directly with the passengers involved to offer our heartfelt apologies for falling short of their expectation." An airline spokesman declined to comment beyond the prepared statement. The incident comes a little over three weeks after another celebrity, Green Day rocker Billie Joe Armstrong, was complained he was booted from a Southwest flight in Oakland, California, because he was wearing his baggy pants too low.

I would be uncomfortable if a heterosexual couple engaged in excessive public displays of affection. You have a right to love whomever you want. Whether they return that is another thing. What you do not have is a right to display that affection in intimate ways in public. I am straight. I lived in a gay community with my gay friends. Even in that community, there were signs posted around the gathering places, such as pools and party rooms, that public displays of affection would not be tolerated. These rules were made by the gay community to police itself from causing embarrassment and making offense. It is offensive that someone thinks she has the right to display affection at any time, whenever she wants, wherever she wants. This kind of in-your-face-get-over-it attitude is what is making it more and more difficult for the gay community to be welcomed and integrated into the overall community. Exercise some restraint and learn proper decorum. We’re all in this place together, Ms. Hailey. You don’t make the rules to benefit you and offend others.

I think if you want to make out in public, no matter who you are, then you’re probably insecure, immature, or perhaps trying to make some bizarre political point. Yeah, go ahead and throw your tantrum. Never mind that it makes you look like a clown. Boycott? Please do. You should drive next time since you’re obviously disrespectful toward the flight crew and other passengers.

They have the right to refuse service to anyone whom they deem to be disruptive. People, learn to take instruction and quit trying push your weight around in an airplane, or say goodbye to the rest of the passengers.
