Sounds like you're the sensitive one if this upsets you!

We care about it because “it” gets shoved in our face on a daily basis by society, the gubmint, and even our airline’s management.

I seemingly can’t open a company email without some sort of progressive leftist bu!!$7!t getting thrown at me. Even what you’d consider a “conservative” Texas airline has gone off the deep end with the LGBTQ or whatever the acronym is.

They’ve gotten so progressive and “sensitive” that several months ago after yet another mass shooting, our CEO apologized for his recent email that was titled “Bob’s Bullet Points”.

THAT is why we care. We care because this garbage and rot on our society has gone too far. We care because we as white males are now the evil and targeted demographic.

The pendulum of sex and race has swung but swung WAY past center.

Oh you poor oppressed white straight male who makes over $200,000 a year and lives in a nice area where everyone treats you well. Your life must be so hard because your "Texas airline" pretends to care about populist notions of black and gay rights in order to make money.

Seriously people. Why do pilots care so much about these issues? We sound like a bunch of entitled buffoons whining about this constantly. Leave them alone, mind your own business, and live your life.

Why do you care so much that people have different opinions than you?

Ha ha. Weak retort.

I care about people who make pilots writ large look like entitled jerks, a pervasive stereotype.

Another weak retort. I'm a proud conservative republican. Live and let live.

Ana Navarro didn't vote for Trump twice. I did. In fact, I've only voted for 2 democrats in my life (Bill Clinton and Obama). But I don't owe some anonymous person on the internet an explanation, especially a troll who calls himself "straight cash homie" lol.

A big part of what's broken in this country is that you can't say "live and let live" without being called a libbie communist. That used to be basic conservatism back in the day. We all need to find a way to get along before it's too late. Stop this partisan games support my team at all costs nonsense.
