Business traveler with a premium class ticket and a traveling partner. Did the boyfriend have a voucher reward ticket? Those usually come with stipulations.

Humiliation? It was long ago that being publicly recognized as a man who allows other men to stick their sausage in your rectum and then your mouth was humiliating. But times have changed. Now its a badge of honor.

1) Did both gays buy premium seats?

2) Which couple paid for the seats first?

The last person I knew who was bumped said the Airline told them they go by what time the ticket was sold and whoever purchased their ticket first gets the seat.

They probably accidentally overbooked and gave preferential treatment to the higher priority flyer. The odds of it having anything to do with sexual partners is probably less than 1% A couple of men were bumped so a married couple could sit together. There fixed the headlines. Why is this news? My wife and I were bumped to separate seats once, so a newlywed couple could sit together.. we HAD MARRIAGE SENIORITY ! but there was no complaint filed. We didn't even get an extra tiny bag of peanuts for our troubles..

I have simply stopped giving a damned about these filthy sodomites.

I just don’t care anymore. They don’t want equal rights, they want special rights, superior to everyone else.

F’n faggot. Get back in the closet.

When gay businessman David Cooley boarded Alaska Airlines flight 1407 from Los Angeles to New York this past weekend, he expected to enjoy the airline's top-rated service and the amenities that accompanied his Premium Class ticket. Instead, however, he said he and his travel companion were subjected to "humiliation" instead.

Whenever any member of one the Protected groups gets treated like any normal person they are being subjected to "humiliation”.

If they are not coddled treated as special and protected they are being discriminated against.

Being a White Male Catholic the best I can hope for is that I don’t get dog dropping thrown at me.

Seat assignment error. Two assigned to one seat.
