Well hell! Call me queer with a fruity rear! I’m saving money.

Seriously though, “Gay Travel”? What the hell are these idiots smoking?

Just go there and enter the little code

What “little code” is that? Anything like running a hand along the bottom of a bathroom stall wall?

Why is this not a “hate crime”?

Why is this not a “hate crime”?

Oh, come on. Let’s not get ridiculous. Alaska Airlines has every right in the world to offer discounts for whatever reason they deem. It should be their freedom.

Only liberals and the somewhat hypocritical worldnetdaily.com site have problems with such discounts offered.

This is just too funny! And Lik, that is the best oneliner I have seen in a long time.

Do they make you take a lie detector test? Gay has other meanings. So if I said I am gay? I could get the discount too? Do they make you join the mile high club?

Why a discount?  My experience is that gays are generally more affluent than the average citizen.  Is this pandering?

Hope and change, in a free world, are the private possessions of motivated individuals.

A veritable litmus test does appear called for. Shoes match handbag, perhaps?

Sounds to me like the Airline’s Stewards got put in charge of their promotions policy.

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

I love that “shoe handbag” test idea thing! I just might pass.

ZZ, I can’t take credit for that, it was an old Robin Williams bit. Back when he was funny.

Hotel,

Actually your comment is right on the money. How can anyone determine if you’re gay or not? A few years ago when some politically correct politicians tried to make gays a protected minority my friends and I had a GREAT time with that.

We all agreed that if they did that we all go the boss and say we were gay. We would then have enjoyed the status of a protected minority WITHOUT HAVING TO PROVE A THING!

Of course, we would never have done it, but it illustrates how those people just don’t think their politically correct wet-dreams through. It could have been used as the scam of the century.

AND we could have gotten out 10% discounts. Darn.

Election ‘08 - We Are So Screwed

The queers are not satisfied being equal to hetros or being a protected minority.  They want to be an elite ruling over everyone else.  That’s almost always how it goes with alleged suppressed minorities.  Given enough power they become the new tyranny.

You don’t have to be a moron to be a liberal Democrat but it sure helps.

Is bi considered gay then… or is it strictly fems and dykes? LOL… someone needs to find out the rules because this promotion is too bizarre!
Although, most other airlines also have special destinations/travel arrangements for this specific group, but not discounted fare for being gay!
Whistler...lol, I agree, it has to have something to do with the flight[y] attendants

I’m more concerned with the “Taking Diversity to the sky” claim. Does Alaska Airlines extend this love for “diversity” to the hiring of its pilots? I don’t know about you guys, but I’d rather have pilots who are picked because their skill and job ability are superior. I don’t want to be on a flight that has a pilot who got ahead because of the nebulous concept of “diversity”.

That goes for every other potential life and death profession. Police officer, firefighter, medic - all professions where the best should be promoted. The fact that they might be gay or black shouldn’t even be a consideration.

Be careful when picking an airline. Alaska Airlines tells us

In “Our World”, diversity abounds.

Travel with care.

Anna: If you’re a guy, “bi” is gay.  If you’re a girl...not so much.  /humor

Hope and change, in a free world, are the private possessions of motivated individuals.

Isn’t this the sort of discrimination that outlaws “Ladies Night” at bars? By discriminating in favor of one group (women) it was considered de facto discrimination against males on the basis of sex!
I would think the same standards would apply here!

Trolls. It’s what’s for breakfast!
And then I eat their lunch.

The little code is EC06607. Maybe they fly backwards on these flights?

The queers are not satisfied being equal to hetros or being a protected minority.

You mean gay marriage is legal now?  Surprised I didn’t see that on Logo.

You mean gay marriage is legal now?

What gays do isn’t marriage, and never will be.

Hope and change, in a free world, are the private possessions of motivated individuals.

Sounds like you’re speaking from experience.

Of course they’re equal.  A homosexual person can marry someone of the opposite sex just like a heterosexual person can.  A homosexual person can no more marry someone of the same sex than a heterosexual person.

Wow, gordie, you’ve made it so clear, thanks!  Maybe someday I can move to Simpleton too.

Meanwhile, click the banner to go to RealJock for Guys, Workouts (I think we all know what that means, right rob90210?), and More!

I wonder what kind of a discount they would get for a little sodomy or blowjobs while in flight? Would you have to pay extra to watch?

It is the endorsement by a private company, a federally regulated transportation company, pandering to homosexuals wherein many cases there are few flight choices available for heterosexuals wherein they could avoid giving business to these two airlines. Therefore, I think these carriers could be sued for violating the civil rights of heterosexuals by such sexual conduct based preferential pricing.

No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

Maybe someday I can move to Simpleton too.

It would be a move UP for you, dinkyboy!

Trolls. It’s what’s for breakfast!
And then I eat their lunch.

dannyboy, if you keep misusing the word “equal” to mean “similar, but differant,” expect sarcasm at the least, mockery more likely.

You mean gay marriage is legal now?

Right! I mean, we should just allow marriage to mean whatever the hell anybody wants it to mean. Then, and only then using your logic, will there be “equality”.

Great logic, shit for brains. You are the mayor of “Simpleton”. Take a bow, dumbass.

I wonder what kind of a discount they would get for a little sodomy or blowjobs while in flight? Would you have to pay extra to watch?

To watch, no, but it’ll be 2 bucks for headphones.

expect sarcasm at the least, mockery more likely.

I was actually expecting grunts and gutteral noises, but it appears that some of you neanderthals have learned how to slap your meaty paws on a computer keyboard.

Nothing indicates that heterosexuals can’t use the promotion code. I’m sure the company has other promotion codes that it uses to gauge the effectiveness of promotional programs.

I’m sure you all believe that a company has the right to offer different promotions via different marketing techniques. If the promotion code was linked from an accountants’ website would anyone claim that the airline was discriminating against non-accountants?

Have any of you ever complained about senior citizen or military discounts? Maybe I’ll check the AARP website for some deals which don’t actually require me to represent my age.

What’s wrong with you Natasha!  Talking like a sane person. Tsk tsk.

You should go to RealJock instead, for Guys and Workouts!  All they boys in this yard love it!

db: Why do you lefties like gay slurs so much?

Hope and change, in a free world, are the private possessions of motivated individuals.

dannyboy seems to be able to do little else other than to make insults, gay innuendos, illogical comparisons, and “me too” statements.

The guy isn’t an intellectual heavyweight.

robert108 - for the same reason they make racial slurs against Clarence Thomas and Michael Steele.

Right; they’re the real racists/bigots/homophobes.

Hope and change, in a free world, are the private possessions of motivated individuals.

db: Why do you lefties like gay slurs so much?

Because they hurt so good!

natasha .. those other offers you suggested are open to the entire public to be or not to be.
If I want, I can be in the military but I am not so I don’t get that discount. One day, I will be a senior citizen and get to take advantage of any offer AARP promotes. Now, as for having the choice of being gay… the discount isn’t being, never has been, and never will be available or offered to me because I am not gay and there for it’s discriminating against me and the majority of mankind.
Do you really think if the offer was promoted as a discount for heterosexuals the gay community wouldn’t be protesting up a storm over it?

Does the definition of the word “gay” still include “happy” and “joyful”? If so, why couldn’t I take advantage of the fare?

So if you went skipping into the terminal singing “Singing in the Rain” or “Zippity Do DA” you’d be qualified without having to meet Larry Craig in the bathroom?

It’s a deal.

I’ll take your word for it.

My only problem with the discount is that the “gay community” would be up in arms if they had offered a 10% hetro discount. They would be yelling “HATE CRIME!”.

Other than that I really don’t see a problem if they want to offer a discount to whites, blacks, homo, hetro, metro, bi, or monkeys.

Here is a picture worth a thousand words.

Anna - Do you really think if the offer was promoted as a discount for heterosexuals the gay community wouldn’t be protesting up a storm over it?

Who cares what the self appointed “gay community” would be up in arms about? They would be just as wrong. You’re right though. They would throw a hissy fit.

If Alaska Airlines thinks that they can get a good promotion in with a group that typically pulls in upper middle class people; if they believe that people will buy into the “diversity” crap, then more power to them.

Personally, I wouldn’t fly with them. I don’t trust “diversity” bullshitters.

As for being against it merely because it doesn’t apply to “me and the majority of mankind” while simultaneously arguing that it’s okay to get senior citizens discounts - most of the world is young. Same situation.

We don’t walk around saying that senior citizen discounts are “discriminating” against young people.

senior citizen discounts are “discriminating” against young people.

Like I mentioned before.. no it’s not. In time, I too (and all others), will be offered the same discount. As for a gay discount, I will NEVER qualify.

Like I mentioned before.. no it’s not.

You’re right, it’s not.

Just as this promotion isn’t “discrimination” against straight people. It’s the same thing. Calling it “discrimination” is negative spin.

I said that the first time before you truncated my response into something that it was not. Sort of like what you’re doing here with this stupid airline promotion.

In time, I too (and all others), will be offered the same discount.

Not all of us live to old age. You’re being mighty generous with some of our life expectancies.

As for a gay discount, I will NEVER qualify.

Irrelevant.

If someone wants to offer a discount, what’s it to you? So you’ll never be able to collect a gay discount. BFD. Who cares. Not all of us will be able to collect a senior citizens discount. Same thing.

What you’re saying is this Anna:

Senior citizen discount = does not discriminate against young people.

“Gay discount” = does discriminate against straight people.

What is the difference?

This is all for naught anyways. Go ahead and look carefully at the promotion page. They’re careful not to say that it is in any way limited to gay people.

Well whatever, if they’re giving discounts to some people but not me then I don’t have to fly with them.

I certainly think we should stop paying to paint their planes for them and any other subsidy that Stevens has stolen from the treasury.

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Young people eventually become senior citizens so they are not denied the chance for a discount, therefore they have not been discriminated against.
Heterosexuals remain heterosexual and therefore it’s discrimination to deny on that basis. One can’t choose to be gay if they’re not.

Well it’s not really fair but Senior discounts and say military discounts are pretty well received in this country.

On the other hand being gay doesn’t seem to me to be any reason to give them a discount.

When I was a doorman at parties, I let in certain cute girls for free. Save them 20 bucks.

A lot of girls would never qualify for that freebie.

Was that wrong?

Some people are filled with a bit too much entitlement. You’re not entitled to the same treatment. You’re really not. Discounts are given for all kinds of reasons. Alaska Airlines wants to give them to peter puffers. Just as I used to give them to cute girls.

Saying “discriminated against” is negative spin. Was I “discriminating against” the people who weren’t cute girls?

Get over yourself.

Was that like when Ford Fairlane had to pay $20 bucks to get into the funeral?

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

Well technically it is discrimination, but not illegal nor necessarily wrong.

Freedom to discriminate or freedom to associate.

One is negative and the other one is positive.

Alaska Airlines chose to sell this goofy promotion of theirs positively.

Some insist on seeing it negatively.

It’s all how you view it.

Discounts are given for all kinds of reasons. Alaska Airlines wants to give them to peter puffers. Just as I used to give them to cute girls.

Special privileges are given for a reason. AA wants to draw in business for their airlines. You on the other hand gave something to hot girls to make them pretend you were someone special. Hmm… perhaps it’s you that should…

Get over yourself.

You on the other hand gave something to hot girls to make them pretend you were someone special.

Actually the reason was that pretty girls draw in more people.

Ugly girls don’t do that.

Guys are a dime a dozen.

Thanks for playing ‘let’s make an assumption!’ I hope it was as much fun for you as it was for me.

Do they offer frequent flair miles?

United sent me a lousy 5% sodomy coupon.

Why are they trying to herd all the gays into Alaska?

It’s fine with me, I get all my boarding passes from the men’s room, anyway.
