There are a few openly gay pilots in LA. One you wouldn't know unless it came up. The other spends the 1st leg (or day depending) and telling you - justifying - and defending (very strange - he has a semi-large NFL.) And as previously stated the F/O is a large buff ass kicking machine. I see no problem in it either way unless you are making comments that make others uncomfortable. If ER is gay I can imagine how uncomfortable it would be to listen to a guy go on and on about F this and homo that. But I would think that Capt would be open enough to tone it down if ER would have said "Hey man - can you tone it down a bit." This pilot group is very laid back and open to communication for what I have seen.
