That is... if you're gay:

A gay couple flying back to NYC from France were asked by a stewardess to stop kissing and touching. According to the men, and three people sitting next to them, it was nothing more than a few pecks and laying their heads on each other's shoulders.
The stewardess told the couple that the purser had told her to tell them to stop, but the purser said she knew nothing about it. The men asked if it was because they were gay, asked if they could have the stewardess' name or employee number, and asked if they could talk to an American Airlines rep when they landed. Later they were told by the purser that if they didn't drop the issue, the plane would be diverted. Even later, the captain called them to the galley and told them that if they didn't behave the plane would be diverted.
Are you fucking kidding me?
