(AP) - A lesbian actress who starred in "The L-Word" says she kissed a girl _ and got escorted off of a Southwest Airlines flight for doing it.
Leisha Hailey took to Twitter on Monday to call for a boycott of the carrier after a flight attendant told them other passengers had complained after witnessing the affection.
Her first tweet said: "I have been discriminated against." She later added, "Since when is showing affection to someone you love illegal?"
Southwest Airlines Co. responded on its website that Hailey was approached "based solely on behavior and not gender." The airline's four-sentence response said passengers were characterizing the behavior as excessive.
A discussion followed on the flight, and the airline said it "escalated to a level that was better resolved on the ground."

The flight attendants were just jealous they weren’t getting of that “Lovin”, frankly, I find it exciting when I see two women kissing and making out!
Yeah well now all the freaks will push the limit so they can do one thing... File Civil Law Suites.
Its about money, freaks, and lawyers....
God Bless America.... the home of the new Sodom and Gamorrah
they shouldve waited until they were 30,000 ft in the air before they kicked her and her freak-on-a-leash off the plane!
go southwest, I love that airline takes care of the customers and doesn't put up with any crap from anyone! don't like it fly a different airline!
Good , she should have been kicked off , and I will add someone should have put a foot up her butt till you could see toes.
God Bless Southwest Air!
I liked Southwest before, but now I *really* like them! Good for them!
To 11:40,
Gotta love those "Law Suites" LOL :)
The comments here are: 1. entirely expected from this homophobic, redneck, cemented-to-their-ways, Delmoronic crowd, and 2. example #8317 why the entire country's IQ would jump by 20 points if everything on this side of the bay dropped into the ocean.
1:38 - Love how you call folks "homophobic" simply because they express their faith in God's mandate to "go forth and multiply", not "show the world your social immaturity by declaring your love for someone that won't aid mankind's being sustained".

Please return to Jersey if you don't like it
1:59 - I though God loved everybody with no exceptions. Go pray on that one a bit.
2:12 - I am not from Jersey, and have pretty much hated everyone I have ever met from there, but even downtown Jersy City at night has more hope and future in it than any square foot of this wasteland. I have not left yet, but my promise to myself and my family is that none of us will die here (any more than we already have just by living here.)
3:20 don't let the door hit you in the ass. I am sure their are plenty of homocommunities you can go live in! Would surely make the shore a nicer place when you do leave! Hell I'll even buy you a one way ticket on greyhound so you can ride the dog instead of your live in partner for a change!
go southwest!
Well, good luck with that... I am sure you and Elton John, Elan Degenerus are great friends.
God does love everyone and yes we are also suppose to. At some point when tolerating other lifestyles is completley from having it shoved down your throat and being made to like it.
You can have that conversation with God yourself, if they want to live like that I feel its fine, but I dont have to live with it, free country right? Unless you are a God believer or Moraly sound person.
Who is Elan Degenerus?
How can one be Moraly sound?
Why is everyone assuming who is and is not gay around here?
yeah and if god wanted anyone flying.......
it is really not the faithfuls place to judge
I'm sure if God has a problem with his creations he will take it up with them soon enough and until he sanctifies you as a moral authority you should mind your faith and your business
Hell I'll even buy you a one way ticket on greyhound so you can ride the dog instead of your live in partner for a change!
go southwest!

If you need help with that, I got a few bucks you can use toward ticket price.
