I would love to see some actual sources for your idiotic claim.

In your opinion. In the opinion of most others, it is.

Nice try at deflection, obfuscation, and straw man... Please try again

1- I could care less what other people do, as do most people. That isn't the issue

2- Claiming "I don't like them" is a straw man.... one of my best friends is gay

3- The issue is that the posters are pushing a social political agenda which makes them propaganda. It's offensive on multiple levels. If you can't understand that, try thinking harder... but don't hurt your brain.

It took me 3 seconds to Google. Unless bots don't know how to use Google. All of my stats are very easy to find.

Unless you are opposed to showing a man and woman holding hands, then you cannot be offended by a gay couple holding hands. And speaking of sources, how do you define most? Polls show that 70% of Americans support gay marriage and find it morally acceptable. So... definitely not most.

You're exhausting, and don't even work here. I've stated my position, and the reason I believe Delta pushes this as a corporation.

We sure need to settle this debate on the message boards because the 4th floor is reaching this to determine what the company is going to do going forward based on what we decide…

Did you just use the “I can’t be a racist because I have black friends” line?

To claim that it's "very small" is ignorant.

And nothing they do on those posters is inappropriate. Holding hands or putting your head on another person's shoulder is something you see every day in ads with straight couples. Here's the great news, if you don't agree with gay marriage, you don't have to get gay married! See how easy that is? But they exist and they spend money at Delta. It's irrelevant you don't like them
To claim that single digits represents a “significant” amount is ignorant.

It's a larger population than all but Texas and California. Are you saying that no states but them matter because their population as compared to the whole don't matter?

lmao he’s “triggered” by a jetbridge photo of a Guy resting his head on another guys shoulder?? How you can find picture like that “deeply offensive” is insane to me.

it’s so ironic how the “facts don’t care about your feelings” crowd are so easily upset by walking past a picture that marketing has decided will help make us money and boost everyone’s PS. Snowflakes need a safe space.

like what “agenda” are they pushing? Gay people exist and should spend money on Delta?

$10 days you commonly describe your friend as gay even when it’s irrelevant to the topic at hand.

Gays tend to have higher disposable income (more likely to both be high wage owners without kids). It shouldn't surprise anyone that corporate America wants to target them with ads and make them feel welcome so they spend their money at your company. Same with allowing employees to wear LGBT swag. Not to mention that the airlines seem to employ more gays than nearly any other industry. Leave them alone. Give them the same respect you demand. Be happy to take their money and thank them for their business.

Hell if you want to understand the gay community better go down to Key West and drink with them at the locals bars. They're a fun crowd and love to travel and party!

Sonic railing about this with his tired boring anti woke warrior agenda is useless trolling as usual. But apparently not a TOC violation. If everyone ignored him and denied him the attention he craves he would go away.
