This should not be tolerated. Discrimination is wrong, no matter what form
it takes.

Airline 'discount' charges heterosexual customers more
10% penalty applied if buyers don't get tickets from 'gay' site
Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air have announced a new program that will
charge heterosexuals 10 percent extra for their air travel to specific
locations during the Christmas season.
The company actually offers the 10 percent as a discount but only if the
purchaser obtains the ticket through a "gay" page of the company's website,
a location not typically patronized by families seeking travel arrangements,
according to an Idaho activist who was distressed by the offering.
Bryan Fischer, of the Idaho Values Alliance, told WND the company boasts of
its "nondiscrimination" policies, but, "here they are blatantly
discriminating against heterosexuals in their pricing structure."

What Alaska Airlines probably hopes to do is to set up a database
of gay customers so they can send them email about various "promotions"
in an effort to fill up flights during the "off" season - if you don't
have kids in school to take care of, you can go on vacation anytime.
They figure offering a 10 percent discount on some flights is cheaper
than trying to gather the same information some other way.
At least, that's my guess. As usual Young is trying to stir up a
tempest in a teapot.

So you think that "sexual preference" should be a protected category,
right? That discrimination on the basis of sexual preference, like
discrimination on the basis of religion, is wrong. Great.

<http://www.alaskaair.com/as/alaska/gaytravel/LGBT-NYC-Sale.asp> is the
link given by the World Nut Daily article and it does in fact offer
a 10 percent discount. It states that you can use a particular
"Discount Code" when you purchase tickets at alaskaair.com, although
the page seems to have a form that you can use directly. It doesn't
say that you can only use the code from that particular web page.
The word "gay" appears on the title (displayed typically on a window
frame) and in the URL. At no point does it claim that you have to
be gay to use it.
The WND is simply trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.
My guess is that Alaska Airlines has been doing some advertising on
LBGT-oriented web sites and has links to this page from those web
sites. If you use the discount code, you'll end up in their
"gay" database and they'll use that information to target you with
ads. Or, they'll use it to confirm how well their marketing is
actually working.

Nor is there any indication that this is the only way to get a

One fine day in alt.atheism, "J Young" <jyoungvisions@aol.com> bloodied
us up with this:
This should not be tolerated. Discrimination is wrong, no matter what
form it takes.
Even in the form of a ballistic missile, which by irony-o-meter just
became.
Iben, you are only interested in what suits you, ***** all to society. It's
apparent in the hypocrisy of your posts. So much for Catholic Morality.
