Is this discrimination ?

Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air have announced a new program that will charge heterosexuals 10 percent extra for their air travel to specific locations during the Christmas season - Discrimination ?

Dear amblessed,
LOL...so how will they know they are heterosexual?
Sue...good luck

LOL - because in order not to pay the extra, you must order from a 'gay' page on the site LOL - one families do not normally visit.

Dear amblessed,
Well, I think it is discrimination but it would be difficult to prove you are gay to get the discount. I'm sure by now many heterosexuals have heard of the discount and are now saying they are gay to cash in. I know I would to save some money, let them prove I'm not gay??? It sure made me chuckle though..

It doesn't surprise me you'd find this hillarious...Take care !!

Well, the fact there is a separate gay page on their website is discriminatory for a start. I'm struggling to think why any airline would want to make the distinction between people who are gay and those that aren't - at the end of the day, they're still just a "bum on a seat" to the airline no matter what their orientation is.

I'd say those airlines (if in fact this is true - its hard to believe! sounds ridiculous) are playing with fire with a discount such as that. Is it really any different than offering discounts based on race, for instance? now that certainly wouldn't be tolerated.

Okay... what the? Where did that come from? Linky please!

Does the discount extend to the "fag hag" best friend? If not I shall just be forced to feign lesbianism. In answer to your question though that is definitely discrimination.
