I got this info from a UK tabloid. Air steward Martin Langham has started the world’s first gay airline.
He’s promising to provide the friendliest crews in the skies, and says: “I want to give gay travellers equal rights to enjoy themselves.” Martin decided to set up on his own after being ticked off by a stewardess for cuddling up to his boyfriend on an overnight flight.
I can just see it now. This plane will have it’s own tailgunners, a toilet for every 2 seats, Ball Bearing Hostesses, and their slogan will be “Up, Up a Gay!”
If you’re worried about the person flying your plane, Bubba, I suggest drinking jet fuel and lighting a fart on fire. Cheap, efficient, and it’ll get you where you’re going.
To hell, I hope.

I don’t have an evil side. Just a really, really apathetic one.
Kinda gives a whole new meaning to “flying the friendly skies”, doesn’t it?
An infinite number of rednecks in an infinite number of pickup trucks shooting an infinite number of shotguns at an infinite number of road signs will eventually produce all the world’s great works of literature in Braille.
You know, I’d be annoyed by a stewardess or steward, for that matter- cuddling up to MY boyfriend (if I had one, which I don’t) too. And I would hope my boyfriend would be equally annoyed at a steward or stewardess hitting on me.
This is not a gay/straight issue, this is an inappropriate behavior issue. Flight attendants should not be getting overly friendly with the passengers, regardless of the gender of attendant or passenger.
If that was ajoke, Felice it was a good one. If it wasn’t, I think you misread the OP. It sounds to me like the attendant read Langham the riot act because Langham and his b/f were canoodling together while Langham was deadheading. Or something like that. I think he just wants an airline where a same sex couple can cuddle just as a straight couple can.
I think an All-Gay airline is a bit much, though.
(Insert standard “Bubba is a knee-jerk asshole” disclaimer here)
You’re right, andros. I misread the OP. That very important ‘for’ between ‘stewardess’ and ‘cuddling’. Changes the whole meaning of the sentence.
Mea culpa.
Why do we need such segregation? I vote for ‘Air-rotic’ where they can’t land the plane until everyone becomes members of the mile high club. Porno movies, topless attendants, champagne and Ecstacy cocktails are de rigueur. As far as seating, you will be asked, “Gay, Lesbion, Group or Solo?”
Or does AirForce 1 already have this niche filled?
I think I’d like to get in on the (ahem) ground floor of this little enterprise…
An infinite number of rednecks in an infinite number of pickup trucks shooting an infinite number of shotguns at an infinite number of road signs will eventually produce all the world’s great works of literature in Braille.
Can someone - anyone - please tell me how the “straight” airlines that so dominate the friendly skies (Goddamm Breeders! They even want the sky!) have made flying such a horrifying experience for our gay and lesbian friends that one of them had to start his own damn airline with this specifically in mind?
I mean, when you get your seat assignments, can a gay person not get a window seat, lest he put up some curtains? Do gays not get headsets, because there is not a Showtunes station on the airlines?
Satan: I think what happened was this Martin Langham person was flying somewhere with his partner, and one of them was snuggling up to the other, and they were asked to please not be affectionate towards one another while on the plane. Which is a reasonable enough thing to get upset about, but whether or not it justifies starting up your own airline…
I wonder if Rosa Parks briefly considered starting up a “Black-friendly” bus service?
