Hollywood. In every line of work, and everywhere.

Hollywood. In every line of work, and everywhere.

We’re Blazing Saddles men in a Metro-Sexual world. None of this makes any sense because it’s senseless Urban-World schtick.

Whatever.

Janos, yup, there are some seriously feminine male F/As that could set the plane on fire! But that just makes it even less likely that anybody would assume that I or any other *very* straight F/A were gay.

When I first started with SWA as a Ramper (baggage handler) and on my way to training, everybody I came across (gate agents and F/As) asked “Oh, you must be going for the Ramp, huh?” At first I couldn’t understand how they knew it, until I saw a male gate agent who was lisping and waving his hands around. “Oooooh, now I get it!”

Actually, I THANK all the gay guys who opened up (so to speak) this job for us “breeders” as they call us.

guess he isn’t part of the trend that Tony737 is noticing…

Lorien, it used to be that way, but now we’re slowly taking over the field, ’cause it’s a great way to meet “like totally HOT CHICKS, dude”. Mrs737 is a F/A, I met her when I was a gate agent, now we both fly and I keep seeing more straight single guys. They seem to like the overnight hotel situation with female Crews, not sure why :-)

Yeah dude, my cousin used to be an f/a for Continental and when she started she said 50% of the male f/as were bone smugglers (my words, not hers). Sucks because that seems like a pretty cool job – the money is decent, you get to travel, etc. But you might as well cut hair or be an ice skater for a living if you’re considering what people are going to assume about you .

yo, brian mcknight used to be my neighbor and im pretty damn sure he isnt gay. he has a kid, dude.

Many of you know I’m gay, but I can tell you that having a kid is no indicator if a man is straight. Trust me on that one!

But, really, what is this almost obsession with gays wanting to “out” celebrities. WHO CARES?!?!?

Straight male Flight Attendant: Dude, you shoulda seen all the hot chicks on this flight.

Me when I was a Boarding Agent: Yeah? That’s cool.

No dude, I mean, they were HOT CHICKS!

Uh huh, that’s nice, I’ve got work to do so uh…

No man, you don’t understand, these chicks were freakin’ HOT!

Alright already! I get it! You’re not gay! I never thought you were! Sheesh! I live in Ft. Lauderdale, I see hot chicks and gay guys every day!

Oh, ok, like totally, dude.

I got a 70%, which is ok, because gay people have better gaydar.

Most of us have a wife. How about you? Uncommitted?

…you folks need a date.

I mean, just look at this whole thing.

No gay man would ever be caught wearing such a horrid tie as that.

LOL. Thanks for giving us a new expression this mid-western boy hasn’t heard yet.

Wish I could take credit. I also wish I could spell… burgler = burglar. Anyway, I believe I heard it about 4 years ago on a friend’s Rodney Carrington CD we were listening to in the truck.

…being seen out about the town holding a man’s hand…now, that’s “gay”.

…being seen out about the town holding a man’s…er…special attraction…now, that’s really “gay”.

…standing next to a guy with a shirt open down to his…er…special attraction, that’s not “gay”. If it were, there’d be Italians all over Boston buttoning up….

…oh…and that whole “metrosexual” thing…that’s “gay”…Oh, yeah…”gay”….

Moisturize? “Gay”. Manicure? Might as well blow the manicurist afterwards…busted….

Leave us not be too…er…quick on the draw to worry about our sexuality…or anyone else’s…unless it’s a slow Saturday…and you need a date….

Thanks to Howard Dean making us famous as essentially “the gay state” 6 or 7 years ago, this place is a haven, so it’s tough for people to not have in the back of their mind “I wonder if they are a couple a turd burglers?”
