Alaska Airlines Accused of 'Canceling' Flight Attendants for Voicing Religious Beliefs
Two fired Alaska Airlines flight attendants who said they were let go after they questioned the company's support of the Equality Act have filed a complaint against the airline alleging discrimination.
Represented by First Liberty, a law firm that defends religious liberties, the charge was filed in the Seattle field office of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on August 18 on behalf of the former flight attendants.
The federal complaint alleges that the company unfairly retaliated against employees Lacey Smith and another flight attendant, who wished to remain anonymous, after they questioned the airlines' backing of the passage of the Equality Act.
Alaska Airlines said in a notice of discharge for Smith, that "defining gender identity or sexual orientation as a moral issue ... is ... a discriminatory statement," according to First Liberty. That was after Smith asked, "As a company, do you think it's possible to regulate morality?" She made the query in an online company forum, which was public for employees and where they were invited to comment. While apparently several Alaska Airlines employees expressed that they liked Smith's comment, it was subsequently taken down.

Poor snowflake! But, can't say I am surprised, homophobia is quite popular among a shitload of people, including some who don't think they are homophobes.
