Today a flight attendant booted musican/L Word actress Leisha Hailey and girlfriend Nina Garduno off a flight for kissing. You see, it’s been nearly two months since Southwest was accused of discrimination, and they have a horrible reputation to maintain. This afternoon Hailey Tweeted, “Flt. attendant said that it was a ‘family’ airline and kissing was not ok.” She added, “This is an outrage. I demand a public apology by @SouthwestAirand a refund. Hate is not a family value. I will never fly this airline.” Southwest responded, “Initial reports indicate that we received several passenger complaints characterizing the behavior as excessive,” and the ensuing conversation with the women, “escalated to a level that was better resolved on the ground.” Hailey responded, “Since when is showing affection towards someone you love illegal? I want to know what Southwest Airlines considers as ‘family.'” She added that she has some of the employees’ actions recorded on video. [@Leisha_Hailey, TMZ]
