UAL hosts Drag Queen Brunch in EWR [NSFW]
 

I won't elaborate, but if we had a vote on this stuff, you could count me as a "no".

Proof...

Link to united's tweet.

One of the links in the tweet has video.

What about this is NSFW?

Well, it’s a good thing nobody asked you. This supported a great charity.

The fact that the company believes they can get away with this is incredulous. I am employed by UAL. UAL DOES NOT REPRESENT MY VALUES OR MORAL STANCE ON THIS MATTER.

The fact that UNITED AIRLINES believes they can use the term "WE" with anything related to this debauchery is appalling!

What exactly are they "getting away with?"

Thanks for letting anonymous pilot forum members know what your anonymous opinion is.

I've posted my thoughts on similar corporate activists positions on the company website so if you think I'm hiding behind anything anonymous you are mistaken.

Are you one of those that believe that tolerance only applies to people that agree with your positions on such matters?

You have every right to your opinion, and to scream it into the void here and elsewhere. You aren’t (and shouldn’t be) immune to the consequences of that opinion.

It’s not a matter of your fun “you’re not tolerating my intolerance” rhetorical nonsense.

Will somebody think of the children?!:rolleyes:

Seriously though, a drag queen show might have been subversive in the 60s, but today it is pretty tame.

While I'm sure you stay will within your comfort zone, you might want to attend a show. Nothing but cheesy songs, lots of splits, huge wigs, and some dirty jokes (only if you are smart enough to get them). Would you rather the media show United dragging passengers off a plane or show that they are capable of enjoying some lighthearted entertainment?

Now if you really want to see something, go to a Thai ladyboy show!:eek:

you said it yourself. you are EMPLOYED by UA. You are NOT UA.

UA (i.e. the corporate HQ) can do whatever they want to.

Not sure why you are so worked up about it.

You are entitled to your own personal (bigoted/hateful/angry) opinions.

Remember when people warned everyone about that slippery slope thing?

I don't think this kind of event is appropriate in an airport terminal. If you have young children, you'd probably agree.

If you feel so strongly, why don't you stand on your convictions and resign from UAL?

Google is your friend. Here is a Forbes article, a liberal left leaning publication. :rolleyes:

That's almost as bad as the other leftist rag, the WSJ.

No the better question is, as United Airlines is a company primarily focuses on transporting people via aircraft from point A to B to C and so on, why do they believe it necessary to alienate a percentage of their customers and employees by jumping into the corporate activist arena? Do they believe that this truly works to bring unity to their employee groups and garner the largest customer base?

The bottom line here is that the higher ups at almost every corporation have decided that they are going to try to cram down this repulsive, immoral agenda down the throats of their customers and employees and they are not afraid of using intimidating tactics to do it.

We are all different with different beliefs, etc. Do you really believe that one should feel that should have to resign when their company begins delving into religious matters that alienate a segment of their employees? That is threatening and harassment!

I'll wait to hear what you as a supreme court justice rules, not forbes or the wsj.

Please share you legal ruling.

What exactly is United's "repulsive, immoral agenda" that offends you so much? "Intimidating tactics?" Drama queen much?

I for one am going to begin dressing in drag for work. The ladies uniform is tieless, therefore, when i roam our terminals tieless, i will be “in drag.”

Ha! The irony! Love it.

One thing I've (eventually) learned as an adult:

Those that are the most repulsed at others behavior are really projecting their own insecurity and/or issues.

So for those that are the most upset by this, just put on the dress and get it over with. We'll still accept you.

There are FAR bigger issues in this world to get worked up over.

Oh no, kids might find out about drag queens!

...meanwhile, Delta continues to kick our A$$.

I heard the whole thing was Scott Kirby’s idea......

Now you’ve done it. :D

Shouldnt that freedom go both ways?

Does it not currently?

Again. Google is your friend. Try it.

I thought you were leaving this site?

What’s getting really annoying is the double standard. Somehow it’s ok for the LBTQ crowd to force their ideology on everyone else (men, women, families, kids), but if you voice your opposition to that lifestyle being pushed in your face, then your criticized or even told to resign your career.

Why do companies love to celebrate this so much? I don’t ever remember a Straight Pride campaign. I’m not judging or criticizing, just getting tired of it being advertised like the latest trend that everyone should be forced to embrace.

The comments on Twitter are hilarious though. 99% find this inappropriate, and I seriously doubt it’s good for business.

How are they forcing it on you? No one is mandating that you have to attend any event or even agree with it.

Are you upset with corporate celebrations associated with Black History month? Or Women’s history? United does those too.

This is not allowed.

Everyone knows which airline is "New York's Gayest".

Google it.

Gup

Ask yourself this question: WHY would you want a straight pride campaign?

It might be hard to avoid it in an airport.

I’m not upset at anyone, btw. I just don’t know why some companies think other people want to see that.... because most people don’t.

This is way different than Black or Women History.

I don’t. It sounds silly doesn’t it... people trying to advertise their sexual preferences on others and all...

Yeah this just seems weird and out of place. But, it is the the age of virtue signaling.

It’s almost as if heterosexuality and homosexuality have been treated differently throughout history 🤔

Both aren't equal.

They haven’t been treated equally. That is correct.

The world is gonna come to an end cause a company throws a drag party. Almost like it came to an end during mardigras party or that time pilots wore a football tie to work. Sports and mardi gras were forced down my throat. Such a horrible world we live in. I dont watch football or go to Mardi Gras but oh well, the world will go on without me crying about what a company or individuals do. No one voices hate against those activities nor claims they are forced down their throat why? Cause they are done by a still oppressed group.

Meanwhile on the ramp in ewr, we landed :15 early and our gate was changed to an occupied gate and we ended up being :15 late. And yes had to call for Ramp crew, and a jetway driver. I’m not against a drag show. It’s not for me but let’s focus on the airline operation a little here. Ewr is not improving. It’s seems like it’s getting worse.
