First known all-lgtbq+ crew. I'd bet somewhere around the world this already happened but purely by day-to-day business.
This is very out of touch.
- i'm of two minds. one is "finally, after all these years of allegedly all straight crews"
  the other is "the messaging is 'put all the queers on the queer flight, they don't belong'" and that thought came first and isn't a positive thought
  
  You and I had the same first thought
- Shitlib progress
  
  Care to elaborate on that? Or are you just leaving us with that pearl of wisdom?
Make sure it doesnt land in Saudi Arabia or in the UAE or something.
Yay, sure, but
Implying something like LGBT folk working is something special undermines the fight for social equality by the people by portraying these people as something less than normal
- am airline taking a stand against those countries would be actual progress, but we only get BS symbolic gestures
Nice thought but folks are being killed only for being trans. This isn't any better than thoughts and prayers
- do you think they put any thought into it?
Queer emissions
