10. Do they "qualify" to sit near the exit doors?

In all seriousness...I can literally hear crazy Fox "News" anchors questioning how this is fair. If LGBT community is all the same and wants equal treatment, why do they get a discount just because of sexual orientation?

I am NOT saying this is my personal position. I can just see how this opens doors to more divisiveness, as Bubba gets outraged when he discovers that the girl in the next seat is transgendered, but gets a special discount for her "lifestyle." (I put that in quotes for a reason!)

That said, I applaud Alaska Airlines' decision.
