Just my 2 cents...
That’s fine. Hold that opinion. Just don’t try to justify it as:
1) it’s indecent (it isn’t, it’s a fashion show and there’s no more nudity (likely less) involved than on the movie monitor in the seat next to you
2)it’s exclusive (it isn’t, anyone is welcome)
3) it’s dangerous for kids to know that males sometimes dress in ways different than social norms suggest (it isn’t, it’s easy to explain and won’t even make your kids gay)
4)it’s forcing anything upon you (it isn’t)
5)the company shouldn’t do anything irrelevant to actual airplane movement
All of these justifications have been used in these threads. Come up with a decent justification that isn’t based in veiled homophobia and I’ll agree that it isn’t the place to celebrate your employees during a month of celebration.
Note: for those of you who feel attacked, I have not said you are homophobes, I simply think the justifications used this far in these two threads are flawed justifications. It’s a criticism of the opinion, not the person.
