What is it with Southwest kicking famous people off of their flights for stupid reasons? First there were the two Kevin Smith incidents (one because of his weight, the other they wouldn't let him on a flight his bags including his wife's meds were already on). Then they kicked Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day off the flight he was on because he was wearing his pants too low and refused to pull them up.
Now they kicked Leisha Hailey off a flight for a supposedly quick innocent peck with her girlfriend. Hailey was offended by the stewardesses' comments, and the situation escalated to them getting kicked off. All because people are afraid of affection between two people of the same sex. If a straight couple were to do the same thing, the stewardesses would just say "Awhhh, you two are just so cute together" and hand them champagne and party hats.
Southwest prides themselves on being family-friendly, but Leesha Hailey was completely correct in saying, "Hate is not a family value". Why are people so offended by two people who love each other being affectionate? Maybe the parents' Southwest is catering to just don't want their kids to see what love looks like so they don't have to fake it themselves?
