Actress Kicked Off Flight For Kissing Girl
Southwest Says Passengers Called Behavior 'Excessive'

Actress Leisha Hailey, who starred in the Showtime series "The L Word," claims she and her girlfriend were kicked off a Southwest flight for kissing each other, People.com reported.

"I have been discriminated against by @SouthwestAir," Hailey tweeted Monday. "Flt. attendant said that it was a "family" airline and kissing was not ok."

The 40-year-old actress criticized the airline for staffing "homophobic employees" and added: "Since when is showing affection towards someone you love illegal? I want to know what Southwest Airlines considers as 'family.' I know plenty of wonderful same sex families I would like to introduce them to. Boycott @SouthwestAir if you are gay. They don't like us."

The airline posted a statement late Monday, saying: "We received several passenger complaints characterizing the behavior as excessive."

"Our crew, responsible for the comfort of all customers on board, approached the passengers based solely on behavior and not gender," the statement continued. "The conversation escalated to a level that was better resolved on the ground, as opposed to in flight."
