Leisha Hailey of L Word: I Was Kicked Off Southwest Flight After Kissing Girlfriend
Leisha Hailey, a musician and actress who starred on The L Word, claims she was thrown off a Southwest Airlines flight for kissing her girlfriend.
According to Haileys Twitter feed, a flight attendant asked the same-sex couple not to embrace, after which they became outraged and were eventually escorted from the aircraft.
I have been discriminated against by @SouthwestAir. Flt. attendant said it was a family airline and kissing was not ok, she writes.
Since when is showing affection towards someone you love illegal? asks Hailey. I want to know what Southwest Airlines considers a family.
She continues, I know plenty of wonderful same sex families I would like to introduce them to. Boycott @SouthwestAir if you are gay. They dont like us.
We were escorted off the plane for getting upset about the issue, explains Hailey. @SouthwestAir endorses homophobic employees. No one made her accountable.
This is an outrage, she says. I demand a public apology by @SouthwestAir and a refund. Hate is not a family value. I will never fly this airline.
Hailey starred for several seasons on The L Word and is part of the band Uh Huh Her.
