What if Delta swag offends? Most swag out there is because folks oppose D’s swag choices. Or D’s PR statements. Just run a mother F-I g airline and stay out of everything else. This is why I say it all has to go. ALPA service pins only if desired, it is in the PWA after all….

That is a fact, in fact.
So how many UN member nations recognize Tawain?
The answer is 12......and 99% of Americans couldn't locate one of those on a map.
IOW your fact is meaningless to people who use common sense. Even though YOU think it has meaning because it's 145, (Sanctioned by the UN!!!!) to many people it just shows why they think we spend too much on the UN.
BTW I have flown into Taiwan, my kid flies into Taiwan but I don't know any pilots that have flown into Palestine.

I know I’ve read a better article about it, but this one discusses it also.
China thinks it’s diplomatically isolating Taiwan. It isn’t

Personally I find it off-putting when coworkers start complaining about the posters in the jet bridge, like it's a bad thing we welcome customers of all sorts.

You might not like it, but most of that has to do with being inclusive of all types of customers, which affects the bottom line. The company made the calculation that being inclusive of LGBTQ is worth the cost of whatever passenger dislikes said inclusivity. I'm not pretending Delta is ethically on the right side of history, but I do think there is a business case for the PR. This is different from the Gaza strip, where picking a side (any side) is probably a net downside for the business at this point in time.

Honestly I'm glad because I don't want to have to deal with some snowflake passenger or employee triggered by a flag pin on one of my flights.

Except that's not what's going on... the posters are part of a political agenda which about 1/4 to 1/3 of the population dislikes.

Actually no, they are not a "signifigant percentage" they are a very small yet vocal sliver of society. That's ok though that doesn't matter. Most people, myself included, don't care at all with what other people do in their private lives. But the push, and the posters are an example of this, are indeed propaganda promoting a political agenda. If you can't grasp that, then try learning some critical thinking.

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
