Airline says goodbye after one "modest kiss"
Posted 29/09/2011
Kissing didn’t get the lesbian actress and her girlfriend escorted off an airplane in Texas but swearing did, reports the Souhwest Airlines told the Moring Sydney Herald.
The airline said the couple became profane after being reprimanded for what actress Leisha Hailey characterized as "one modest kiss".
Hailey immediately used her Twitter account to accuse the airline of discrimination and call for a boycott.
Hailey is best known for playing Alice Pieszecki in the now defunct Showtime lesbian life drama The L-Word.
The incident cast a national media spotlight on the actress, who is now part of the electro-pop duo “Uh Huh Her,” says the newspaper.
Hailey and partner Camila Grey also denied in a statement 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.
