SkyWest Accused of Bias Against Gay Couples
November 2, 2009 by Gay Agenda News Team
A SkyWest Airlines baggage agent who married his partner last year after the California Supreme Court legalized same-sex unions says the airline is breaking state law by refusing to give his husband the free fares it provides to heterosexual spouses.
The airline says Gilbert Caldwell’s husband is his “travel companion,” entitled to fly at a discount but not for free, Caldwell said. “I am asking SkyWest to give me the same benefits that they give my married heterosexual co-workers.”
Good. Keep on insisting that we are just as entitled to the privilges of marriage as straights.
