As for “censoring” homosexual scenes from movies, a smarter choice would be to not show movies containing those scenes on their flights, problem solved.


Nobody can win today and corporations are easy targets. You show it and many are upset. You don’t show it and many are upset.

Welcome to our divided country...

Is anyone really surprised at Delta’s cave? All you need to do is look at the male flight attendants on airlines these days.

Haven’t flown in years. Do inflight movies these days have sex scenes?

Yup.

It’s always the ones who have never lived there who Imagine that the Saudis couldn’t be devout and sincere in their practice of Mohammedism. Their clerics torture and slaughter any who are not.

As a woman and a Christian I have no desire to go there, and I probably couldn’t anyway since I have an Israelii stamp in my passport.

Wrong, they are on my authority as retired member of the foreign service, the den of spies, aka, US Missions abroad or more to the point our Embassies. Everyone of these has a CIA Chief of Mission.

So.their hate extends to every pleasant pastime which offers diversion and entertainment. And the reason is that it dilutes the time spent deepening commitment to Allah. Any and every diversion competes with Islam. Go spend some time over there and pay attention to what goes on around.

After spending time in Dubai and Bahrain and observing Muslims drinking to excess, cavorting with beautiful Western girls, and partying in nightclubs, I'm convinced most Muslims are sinners themselves.

Last time I flew: A couple of months ago, Portland, OR to Boston. Most passengers were engrossed in their laptops, tablets and smartphones. I don't think I saw more than one or two people watching the airline's (Alaska Air) in-flight entertainment.

As for me, I had downloaded a miniseries from Prime Video: The Titanic: Blood and Steel. Thoroughly enjoyable

Kuwait used to be the same way, which was Iraq’s justification and Saddam believed that because of the apostasy in Kuwait the Islamic world would back his power play. Reread his statement released as the invasion kicked off.

There are people who want out of Islam, but they have to move to a more secular intermediary country to make their exit first. Because under Sharia law they will be executed in many places.

“Rocketman” oozed gayness. There probably wasn’t a single heterosexual involved in its creation or filming.

No shocked face from me.

Here is a radio ad from Elton John in the 1970s.

Goodie. Now we can fly Delta and watch John Holmes movies from his fudgepacking era.

Where he caught the virus and then KNOWINGLY continued to make movies with full blown AIDS and telling everyone that his declining appearance/health was due to cancer.

A true sh*tbag of a lifeform.

Delta is a private company, not the government.

It can chose what values it will accept being promoted on it’s airplanes, and what it won’t promote. It can chose what films it will show, and which ones it won’t and it can chose to have any film edited for its showing of it.

If the LGBT agenda activists don’t like it, they can refuse to fly on Delta or try to make their own airline; Delta is not standing in their way.

That was bad enough, but the worst thing about Holmes was arguably that his out-of-control drug habit directly led to the Wonderland murders. If the gang that was supplying him hadn’t ripped off Eddie Nash (with Holmes’s help - to pay off his debt to them), there would have been no grizzly retaliation (which, apparently, Holmes was forced to participate in). Holmes was lucky Nash didn’t have him murdered along with the others.

You know that Dirk Diggler/drug theft scene from “Boogie Nights” was all based on Holmes.

The movie “Wonderland” with Val Kilmer as Holmes was pretty good.

I’m not surprised because, Delta does cater particularly toward homosexuals even targeting homosexual and other kinds of alphabet people travel fun , fun , fun.
Weirdos rejoice!

Oh, yes. Of course it was mild compared to the real thing. To have depicted it closer to reality would’ve made “Boogie Nights” too dark. Although it came too close to a fairy-tale ending, anyhow, with almost everyone back at Jack’s house. I believe some time ago, I came up with what the real ending of the film would’ve been like: the real characters either in jail, dead of O.D.’s or AIDS, another ending up as an anti-porn/religious crusader, et al.

Look at Marilyn Chambers, for example, dropping dead in her mid-50s and found by her teenage daughter. :-( Her early porn film producers, the Mitchell Brothers, one shooting the other to death. The other one made it to the ripe old age of 63.

Eddie Nash made it to his 80s, but was in prison. He did stuff that was so disgusting and revolting, they couldn’t put it in the movie’s. Apparently Holmes’s wife said Nash refused to put toilet paper in his bathrooms and instead would bait drug-addicted young women with coke to personally “clean” him after using the toilet.

I’m only fascinated by this stuff as it shows how this libertine lifestyle so many were promoting led to early deaths (or just miserable lives). All that stuff related to “the business” seemed to occur in a short period, “Wonderland”, Holmes, the murder of Dorothy Stratten... (even “Playboy” was almost brought down by that and drug-dealing by some of their people).

And “the business” is more mainstream today than it ever was. It’s corrupted most facets of society...
