I think there was some room here to make light that there are tons of "straight" folks that attend and support NGPA just as there are many fair skinned people that attend OBAP and men that attend WAI. Pilots will do what is required to get noticed and hired.

Just like the threads that get locked for political stuff...if this one derails in a direction of the goodness/badness of NGPA or its membership...it should get locked as well.

I’m sure you guys make the same jokes about our gay ALPA pilots to their faces, right?

Who said anything about hiring. I’m just asking if you make gay jokes in the cockpit. Not very professional.

I don’t think gay jokes are appropriate. Socsity as a whole, and our company, our association all agree that this is not a thing that is helpful to say.

I’m not personally offended. However-, as a union member I’m sure you wouldn’t Intentionally insult your brothers and sisters. Especially those in a marginalized demographic. Right?

I wouldn't say I'm offended...I'm just embarrassed to be associated with people who are so ignorant. I can't believe I have to work with them.

It's hard to believe people can be so stupid and misinformed.

I know I know...the Bible says it's wrong. Lol

I’m far from a bleeding heart, so for the 50% that want to hide behind “PC police” / “identitiy politics” routine, my voting interests are aligned with yours (sometimes). But I feel obligated to say that I too find it odd that a bunch of grown men who want to be treated like professionals, make unclever jokes about what some people want to do behind closed doors.

If any part of you believes in freedom from conformity and groupthink, then embrace consenting adults ability to do whatever they want, instead of drawing attention to our differences.

I couldn’t care less what my coworkers do on their own time, just don’t cause me extra paperwork or stress
