As anticipation builds toward the countdown of Gay Games VII in Chicago this July 15-22, American Airlines, the world's largest airline has just been selected the Official Airline of the 2006 Gay Games.

Fort Worth-based American Airlines is proud to provide top-notch air travel service bringing the world to Chicago. Highlights of American Airlines partnership with Gay Games VII:

* American Airlines and its regional partner American Eagle will provide air travel to support Gay Games operations and to select Gay Games 2006 Scholarship recipients.

Just because I'm tired of the queer agenda and their activism!

(I have family members at AA, so I get Google Pings when an article with AMR comes out.)

Thought you right wing, evangelical type of people might want something else to get worked up about! (myself included!! :)

They probably agreed to this because all their male flight attendants are participating in the festivities!

Nothing new. Back in 2000, when the Much-Less-than-a-Million Mom March was organizing their hate-fest to exploit the tragedy at Columbine, Northwest Airlines made a deal to fly the activists to the event at steeply discounted prices.

Brokeback Air...

Life's too short for me to get too worked up about who American Airlines looks to in order to generate some much needed revenue. But this will be a p.r. morass for American among conservatives. The only thing worse would be if they became the official airline of the "Illegal Alien Games." Come to think of it, American might be able to atone for this one if they became the official airline for returning illegal aliens to Mexico.

But were the links to the gay magazines below the main articles really necessary?

LOL!!

Ya know...I was going to edit those out, but I reconsidered after thinking that there are many who may read FR who don't really know what's going on in the world and who are too sheltered. Personally, living in a highly queer city, I am all too aware of the deviant lifestyle that is bringing our country down, not to mention my great State of Texas!

You know, for a "persecuted minority," homosexuals sure have a lot of people more than willing to bend over backwards to accomodate them and make their lives pleasant.

I don't remember any similar efforts for, say, black Mississippi Delta cotton-picking sharecroppers. They had a hard enough time getting a bus ticket out of town, much less an airline discount code.

Speaking of the queer agenda, I saw a commerical yesterday, to promote vacationing in Key West, FL...underneath the words Key West... it said "favorite destination of gays and lesbians". Guess I know where I WON'T be vacationing...ever!
