Cowards. No, you don't have to protect anyone's children from seeing a gay kiss. The more they see it, the less a big deal it is. On the contrary, teachers would call this a "teachable moment": an ideal opening for parents to explain to their kids that some people are attracted to people of the same sex, and that there is nothing wrong with it.

Adam is as usual, spot on with his tweets. Such a class act every time. Disappointed that this happened and was publicized right after the honor Adam and his Mom had with PFLAG. But, the more this issue is out there, the better because it creates awareness. I am tired of the narrow mindedness out there. To name a few, civil right movements for blacks, women...were hard fought. The gay civil rights movement will be also, but victory will be had. Ignorance and fear will lose; it always does eventually. BTW, I worked for SWA and I have nothing nice to say about that airline. They sure are getting bad press lately. Reap and sow.

WTF is right. ;) You know why we are here? One word - LOVE. That is it. Period. Regardless of race, religion, sexual orientation. Feel so sorry for stupid, fearful people. So glad I was raised right. So sad to be hateful.

Adam is so right and I am so proud of him standing up for his friend. When straight couples were seen day and night naked tea-bagging up and down on our national TV at prime time, it is very homophobic to treat same sex kissing like a crime. Go Adam go! We love you!!!

It had nothing to do with gay rights what Adam was ranting about, you dumbbells. He embarrassed his boyfriend big time, since he's never kissed him in public, only Tommy.

Statement from airline



Statement Regarding Southwest Customers Removed From Flight 2274

downloadprinter friendly


Mon, Sep 26, 2011


Initial reports indicate that we received several passenger complaints characterizing the behavior as excessive. Our crew, responsible for the comfort of all Customers on board, approached the passengers based solely on behavior and not gender. The conversation escalated to a level that was better resolved on the ground, as opposed to in flight. We regret any circumstance where a passenger does not have a positive experience on Southwest and we are ready to work directly with the passengers involved to offer our heartfelt apologies for falling short of their expectation.

If they just shared a kiss or two, who cares. If they were making out, that's a different matter. No one wants to watch any couple making out no matter, straight or gay. This overt behavior makes many people uncomfortable. I might have complained myself if it made me and others uncomfortable. Making out should not be a public forum.

The AMA kiss was alright and people would have forgotten it, but the Adommy was kissing with tongues. Exhibitionistic.

Anonymous said...

I think they acted with poor taste, kissing should be for private moments unles it is just a little peck. It doesen't make any difference if you are straight or gay.
Gays don't like being called names, but they do it right back at the straight people, calling them homophobics, ignorant or bible pushers. I am for equality, and also for good manners in public, and kissing heavily in public is not good manners.
SWA had no choice if others were complaining, and I am sure Cam was using some pretty ripe language too. Obviously they did not agree to no more kissing on the flight. I am also a fan of Adam, and he has had the good manners not to kiss publicly with Sauli. I commend him.

@anon 5.56
Could you tell us exactly what happened seeing as you must have been there on the flight, seeing as you're sure Cam was using foul lanaguage and that you know they didn't agree to know more kissing.
And that SWA had no choice. They did have a choice, they choose to go the route they did. Who knows why, we don't know all the details, maybe the flt attendant was having a bad day and took it out on them. Chris Sligh (was on AI) was also kicked off a flight last week for argueing about taking his guitar on board, (although different airline I think). And was SWA the airline that kicked the guy from Greenday off a flight for wearing his trousers too low.
I know airlines have the right to not accept passengers that are obviously drunk or abusive, but to kick people off for kissing or wearing the wrong trousers is wrong.
And what on earth have Tommy or the AMAs have to do with this?????

America has become so conservative, ill-informed, and intolerant. But they are the few. The smart, open minded and non-judgemental people will win! Kissing between two adults - nothing wrong w/it!

Anonymous said...

How does SWA get away with this crap? I have also read news stories where Southwest Airlines has kicked people off flights for wearing short skirts they thought were too short. And they also kicked a film director off one of their flights recently for being too fat -- after he was seated, with his seat belt fastened and the armrests on either side of him down.

Yet, Southwest didn't do a thing about it when I complained during a flight because the guy with the seat next to me got on the plane stinking drunk, key falling all over me while we were in the air, and even threw up on my jacket! Worst flight of my life! I would rather walk than ever fly on SWA again.

Again, this incident involved Leisha - not Cam. Adam and Cam are just tweeting about it to support equal rights for everyone.

My hubby & I used to kiss at the supermarket. Should we have been kicked out because some non-open-minded individual was offended? I thought the USA was a FREE country ... where does that freedom begin & end? Who has the right to complain? If kissing is offensive then put up a sign ... NO KISSING (just like the NO SMOKING sign) ... and that should apply to everyone ... not just SAME sex couples! Is this a FREE country or NOT?? You can't have it BOTH ways (YES for some & NO for others) so make up your minds BEFORE you make up the RULES!!

There are a lot of people from different countries using SWA and any other airlines. A lot of religious don't approve kisses or any other emotions on the public. I think Adam changed some of the stage moves:) in Malasia because he respected this country religion and traditions. Why we have to be upset and angry about the people from Malasia or India or Japan who never show their romantic emothions on public don't like to see it in the airplane!
I don't think it depends from airline!
Also, these passengers would be upset in any countrie's airplane!

Do you know that Japan women never appear in front of the guests if she has monthly period?
Can you imagine their reaction when they saw two women kiss?Doe
We don't know of these girls had just kiss or French kiss or may be their were drunk and want to make love in the plain.
I know, Adam is the smartest, perfect, etc person on this planet, but if he respects traditions of other countries, why somebody else has right to f............... it?

@8:12PM I went to Turkey last year. At the airport, one straight young married couple were kissing each other so passionately for more than few minutes. Local authorities went to them and told them very harshly "hey you can't do this kind of stuff in this country". I was scared and it reminded me of that 70s movie about the American prisoner in Turkey!? Forgot the name of it. Anyhow, I thought authorities of that country were gonna throw them in jail. Every time I get reminded of that incident I have a cold sweat on my forehead. Yes, still a lot of people in this world are closed-minded. Hope change is gonna come soon!

No right or wrong, just two sides of every story. Everyone has their beliefs & has a right to their beliefs.
Public or private, it is our responsibility to know what is acceptable & what is not.
To me , if your feeling each other out in public, it's groping. I mean is having sexual intentions in public acceptable behavior? A kiss to show love & respect, a different story, & I think that's what the intentions were in this case. & they should not have been kicked off. It's ridiculous!
Now with Adam & Tommy on stage,(amas), it was FYE! & it was entertaining, but I know some were not pleased with it & that's ok, good thing the kiss was in the beginning of theGNT show, overall, it was HOTT!! Mwah!! K

Since none of us were there, it's kind of hard to judge what really happened. Were they simply exchanging a kiss or were they tonguing and groping each other. All I know is I wouldn't want to be in the third seat next to a couple, gay or straight, who were going at it like there was no tomorrow. On the other hand, a simple kiss and show of affection is an entirely different story. I suspect there has been information left out in this account on both sides of the incident. We'll have to see how it all plays out.

In fact there is a picture of Adam and Sauli kissing in Helsinki, but the crays say the pic is of Adam and Tommy. If so were the case, Tommy were wearing Saulis' clothes.

I also suspect there's more to this story than we're getting - my gut feeling is that "the kiss" was more than a peck on the cheek. The girls were removed from the flight not because of the kiss, but because of their reaction when asked to stop whatever behavior other passengers, who have also have rights, complained about.

Camila Grey and Leisha Hailey statement





We have always promoted tolerance, openness and equality both as a band and as individuals. We both come from loving homes where our parents not only love and accept us, but are also proud of who we are. We believe everyone has the right to live openly in this society as equals. In no way were our actions on Southwest Airlines excessive, inappropriate or vulgar. We want to make it clear we were not making out or creating any kind of spectacle of ourselves, it was one, modest kiss. We are responsible adult women who walk through the world with dignity. We were simply being affectionate like any normal couple. We were on the airplane less than 5 minutes when all was said and done. We take full responsibility for getting verbally upset with the flight attendant after being told it was a “family airline.” We were never told the reason the flight attendant approached us, we were only scolded that we “needed to be aware that Southwest Airlines was a family oriented airline.” No matter how quietly homophobia is whispered, it doesn’t make it any less loud. You can’t whisper hate. We ask this airline to teach their employees to not discriminate against any couple, ever, regardless of their own beliefs. We want to live in a society where if your loved one leans over to give you an innocent kiss on an airplane it’s not labeled as “excessive or not family oriented” by a corporation and its employees. We find it very disturbing that the same airline who lauds itself as being LGBT friendly has twisted an upsetting incident that happened into our behavior being “too excessive.” The above is not an apology and we are in the process of filing a formal complaint with the airline. We hope that when all is said and done a greater tolerance without prejudice will evolve.

Southwest Airlines Sparks Outcry After Kicking 'L Word' Actress Off Flight for Kissing Girlfriend

The news that The L Word actress Leisha Hailey had been kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight -- for what she claimed was a result of her kissing her girlfriend -- sparked an outcry on the Internet Monday.

In a series of tweets, Hailey wrote that she and fashion designer Nina Garduno, who have been together since 2006, "were escorted off the plane for getting upset about the issue."

"I have been discriminated against by @SouthwestAir," she tweeted. "Flt. attendant said that it was a 'family' airline and kissing was not ok."

Meanwhile, a SWA rep did reach out to Hailey via Twitter.

"I'm so sorry!" read a tweet from SWA's account. "Can you please follow/DM [direct message] me more details so we can get to the bottom of this? Thanks!"

Kevin Smith, who was kicked off a SWA flight in February 2010, which he claimed was because he was too large to fit in a single seat, retweeted a message that read: "Via @brett0929 'you see @leisha_hailey's trouble w/ @SouthwestAir? booted for kissing her girlfriend.' Sounds like a case of Too Fab to Fly."

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, who earlier this month tweeted that he was escorted off a SWA aircraft for wearing sagging pants, has yet to weigh in on the incident.

But the news did spark an outcry online, where many criticized the airline. Several in Hollywood, THR readers and other followers of the news were divided in their reactions to the incident, which sparks passionate responses on Twitter, Facebook and the comments section of THR.com.

Among them:

One Tree Hill actress Sophia Bush (via Twitter)
Dear @SouthwestAir you seriously told @Leisha_Hailey that she could not kiss her GF on the plane & escorted them off? I see straight couples kissing on planes all the time. Is discrimination a standard part of your policy? How sad, ignorant, and disgusting. #LostCustomer #NOH8

Anonymous said...

The publicist for a lesbian actress and musician who says she was escorted off a flight for "one modest kiss" of her partner says the encounter was not a stunt for her band's upcoming breast cancer awareness tour.

Leisha Hailey, best known for playing Alice Pieszecki in the now defunct Showtime lesbian life drama "The L Word," asked her Twitter followers to boycott Southwest Airlines after the encounter Monday.

The airline responded that Hailey's display of affection was excessive and drew customer complaints.

The actress and her partner, Camila Grey, denied in a statement released Tuesday that the affection they showed toward each other was inappropriate.

"We want to make it clear we were not making out or creating any kind of spectacle of ourselves, it was one modest kiss," the written statement said. "We are responsible adult women who walk through the world with dignity. We were simply being affectionate like any normal couple."

Hailey and Grey acknowledge they became upset after the flight attendant reprimanded them. They said the attendant told them that Southwest is a "family airline."

If I see a couple in love, be it gay or straight, give each other an affectionate kiss or two on the lips, I always get this warm, fuzzy feeling inside of me. When I see or hear people hating on others because of their sexual orientation, my heart weeps.

Reading through this thread made me feel deeply disappointed. So much ignorance and hatred around still. I'm 25 years old. I wonder if I will ever see the day when I can travel the world with my partner and walk the streets holding hands with her without having to be afraid.

@10:21 am - Get real, there is no picture of Adam and Sauli kissing!! Don't show me that blurry blobs photo or the one where Adam's holding Sauli's face & Sauli's laughing like it's a big joke. Hint -IT IS and the joke's on you guys.

If there was even one pic of Adam's lips on Sauli's lips you SAULI CRAYS would be tweeting it 500 times a day!!

I have been on flights with people creating a disturbance with excessive kissing and groping.
Since we were halfway across the Atlantic there was no way to put the couple off the plane and repeated requests were ignored. We were all happy when the co pilot came and got one of the exibitionists and put them in another seat far away. No overtly sexual act in public is okay.

A kissing pic of A & S is so rare that it's gonna be worth a lot of money.

People have tweeted about Adam and Sauli kissing tho. I remember that one went something like "just saw Adam Lambert, in a bar, in the hallway, under a moose, snogging a Finn" I remember that bar was decorated that way in the pictures we did get.
They are bf's and they live together and they are in love. Who could believe they actually don't kiss? I think the fact that they keep this private shows there is more depth to the relationship.

I don't think the majority of comments on this thread show hatred of same sex couples, the comments disapprove of public displays...any couples who think an airplane is a place for making out would be improper. I spent 7 miserable hours listening to newlyweds consummating their marriage under blankets on the way to Hawaii.
