Singer Adam Lambert has come to the
defense of Leisha Hailey and Camila Grey after they were booted off a
Southwest Airline's flight.
According to the airline, the women
were removed after several passengers complained that their behavior
was “excessive.”
Hailey, who is best known for playing
Alice Pieszecki on Showtime's groundbreaking lesbian drama The L
Word, and her girlfriend Camila Grey form the duo Uh Huh Her.
They
claim the airline discriminated against them because they are gay.
“I have been discriminated against by
@SouthwestAir. Flt. attendant said that it was a 'family' airline
and kissing not ok,” Hailey tweeted to her nearly 17,000 followers.
Lambert, who has previously worked with
Grey, backed up the women.
“News: kissing is NOT indecent
behavior. No matter what sex u are. So if two of the same sex are
sweetly kissing, get over it!” Lambert messaged on Twitter.
“No one bats an eye when straight
couples kiss in public. When a gay couple does it's 'not family
friendly.' #doublestandard,” he added.
