If passed into law, these proposals would cause significant harm to many people and will result in job losses. They would also violate Delta’s core values of mutual respect and dignity shared by our 80,000 employees worldwide and the 165 million customers we serve every year. 


Since Delta is a secular run business how would this law affect it or its employees? How would Religious freedom cost jobs? Dramatizing much.

These large corporations best stay out of this issue. They forget Chick Fil A and Christian support of it.

“When given a choice, I will now avoid Delta Airlines.”
_______________________________________________________
Sad to hear about Delta. It use to be a fine airline that I knew back in my youth from the days of Delta/C&S.
Delta was noted for never loosing a passenger in a crash.
I knew several of their senior pilots, including one that flew their first 747 flight from Atlanta to Paris. Their safety record was second to none.
I think they really began to sink in the early 2000s.
I was on a flight from Europe to Atlanta. The stew was coming up the isle serving drinks. The guy behind me asked for a coke. The stew asked for a dollar.
When she got to me, I said that I had never heard of being charged for a soft drink on an international flight. She barked back at me..”well, we are just trying to keep from going bankrupt!”. I never flew them again.

Sadly, there are more and more major corporations that are coming out publicly in favor of the homosexual agenda.

Enough are doing so that it is becoming increasingly difficult to avoid all of them.

The way to reverse this corporate support of the homosexual agenda is to gain control of the boards of such companies and install CEOs that focus on business and not on the distracting agendas.

To accomplish a takeover requires grassroots investing to the point of having an effective control of shares. For example, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway controls Moody’s with 26% of the shares.

The shares have to be bought up in fragmented fashion so as not to tip off the homosexuals that control is at risk. The grassroots groups need to direct individual members to buy shares and then secretly organize to vote out the management at an annual shareholder meeting.

If conservative grassroots Americans can band together and not be divided, nothing can stop them.

“Delta Air Lines is proud of the diversity of its customers and employees,” as long as there customers and employees place LGBT values and beliefs above Christian values and beliefs.

Actually if I were a baker, I’d bake the damn cake and tell the same sex couple I don’t carry same sex cake toppers. They are a customer and treating them as such does not show I support them or diminish my beliefs. However as a photographer I would turn them down. Since it would require that I attend their event and witness the entire ceremony against my will. There is a difference.

Not the case anymore. Most polls since 2010 have shown majority support for gay marriage, with support constantly increasing. Recent polls have shown something like 55% in favor to 35% against. IOW, we're rapidly closing on 2/3 in favor. Young people are very disproportionately more in favor.

I happen to disagree with the majority on this issue, but it does no good to pretend the facts are other than what they are.

I agree there ought to be some way to draw a line between providing a product and actually participating in an event.

With all the hollering about same-sex marriage being “just like” inter-racial marriage which was once outlawed, I don’t remember anybody back in the 60s trying to force bakers or photographers to cater to inter-racial weddings.

Dear Delta,

Just fly the planes and shut-up.

Remember, it was a male airline stewardess that brought AIDS to America.

When the airlines all fail again... and they will under obamao... only those respecting the Constitution and GOD’s laws shall receive help. Delta is dead to me.

Also, pray and work for a Third Great Awakening in this nation.

We could ask the Holy Spirit to move in the hearts and souls of the lost. I could live my life in a more unashamed and bold way....my guess is most Bible believing Christians could do so, too.

The early Christ followers did that and changed the perverted Roman Empire.

We lost. Time to wave the white flag (or the rainbow flag, I guess).

Why does an airline feel it is necessary to defend perverts?
Shut up and fly your planes!
