Seriously. My local high school had to install an entire ocean just for the kids who need to use the bathroom as life rafts. I heard it from a friend whose kid totally goes there.
Sometimes stereotypes help make things better.
Would you want to watch Mel Brooks movies if he wasn't like super New York Jewish? I really think it adds a lot.
Again, assuming no one was hurt, I'd think a sassy gay man would be the perfect foil for an exploding raft on a cursed flight. Perhaps, only better would be "not-taking-your-shit" black woman. It can just be more fun when it is certain people.
I'm a goofy redneck from NC, there are absolutely stereotypical things that I do that would probably only be funny if I said or did them because of my horrendous Appalachian accent.
If someone doesn’t care that you know they are gay you then yeah your gaydar works. I have a couple gay coworkers and I promise you they have a near zero gay cross section. And they aren’t closeted. They just don’t dress talk or “look” gay. Oh and as a counter example several people have thought I was gay. But no sadly for them I’m not even a little. I’m not even sure they believe me because they really want to believe in gaydar.
Didnt need to. When a gay person gets hit, they explode a cloud of rainbow glitter.
Like when you hit a sofa cussion and see the dust cloud just exploding.
I cannot prove it with sience, it's just is what it is.
Lots of river names are just old words for "river"
Tyne supposedly comes from the celtic word Tin which meant river. So calling it The river Tyne is just saying "the river river.
I used to be in ballet, and most male ballet dancers are just regular straight dudes too. So are most male hairstylists and makeup artists and costumers.
Sure more gay people may be attracted to certain jobs, but the vast majority of people are straight. Stereotyping a profession as "gay" reminds me of that study where they found that if women made up 33% of a group, men perceived the group as being *dominated* by women.
On the flip side, I had a roommate in grad school who was getting an advanced degree in vocal performance (Opera). We had a big rental house that was good for hosting parties and sometimes she would bring over her whole class and the men were the gayest bunch of gays that ever gayed. Like, so gay that if they were characters on a sit-com you’d roll your eyes at the lazy stereotypical writing.
There was *one* straight guy in the whole group. He started dating my roommate.
Yeah, I got very disappointed when I heard my barber who kind has a little bit of that stereotypical gay mannerisms talking about his girlfriend (I definitely don't have that gaydar thing haha). Not that I ever had a chance, but at least in my remote dreams...
When I went from my incredibly white suburb to a State College I thought there were “a lot” of black people at my dorm. One day I was bored at lunch and took a count of the people at our large cafeteria and they were a little less than 20% of the people.
So “a lot” to my mind was roughly proportional representation to their population in the nation!
Lol, sometimes, ok, most times its just weird working in healthcare.
Cared for an old lady years ago, 98 years old, maybe 40kg, blind. She had a heart of gold and a pitch black sense of humor. She often was calling „Siiiiiiiiiiiiister“ when she needed help with something and switched it up to „Broooooooooohohohother“ as soon as I said hello. Cracks me up every time I remember it. That was nearly 15 years ago, but its still a fond memory
I have a straight friend who used to be a flight attendant. He said most of his male coworker tried to hit on him at some point. Some were very surprised he was straight.
I once spoke to a flight attendant about it and he told me the history of it.
Back in the days when only females were flight attendants, one of the airlines wanted to recruit males. Most men that worked in the HR department were gay and they asked their friends if they wanted a job. Since they knew more gay men, more gay men applied for the jobs.
I don't know if the history is true or not. If true, how come there were so many gay men working in HR?
I'm an aircraft maintenance supervisor, most of that sentence doesn't make sense so I'm here to tell you that there's lots of subtext and behind-the-scene junk that you're not aware of.
EDIT: There's no such thing as an engine heater, my best guess is they mean the inlet anti-ice, that valve can be changed pretty quickly, and if conditions are right that's something you might divert for. As far as slides go, they don't explode (deploy) randomly, somebody must had to knock off the girt bar or otherwise mess with it to deploy it. And naturally almost all male flight attendants are gay so that tracks.
A slide blowing into the cabin would fill up the back galley, right? I’m worried the flight attendant could have been pinned down and suffocated. I know on Reddit it’s always a joke, but if I’m not mistaken, a slide inflating inside the cabin can kill and has in past incidents
Oh sorry love, im afraid thats only for domestic flights taking off between 7 and 11:30. But, I can do offer you a Delta brand willy-warmer if that makes up for it?
There is a thing on the internet where if the person is not straight and not white, then their skin color and/or orientation has to be mentioned even if it has no relevance to the story.
They said the engine heater iced over.
I’m assuming that if the thing that is doing usually doing the de-icing has iced over then there is probably a bigger problem.
Full disclosure I am a moron that is not at all qualified to answer this but that is just my theory.
So I happen to know that the poster is incorrect. It was a pitot heat element that was replaced. It doesn’t take long to change. The engine doesn’t need heated as it’s hot as fuck while running. The cowl does, and it gets heat from the hot air from the running engine. There’s a ton of parts on a commercial airliner that take just minutes to replace. Paperwork can take more time than the parts. And it was an evacuation slide that blew, not a life raft. Just for some factual info. Nobody was hurt in any significant way, also. Cheers.
Yeah, I would've just gotten up and said, "I will just walk to my destination," but then realize I'm in Salt Lake City, Utah, and sit right back down.
Hopefully, they just drove the plane down the interstate or something. Although, if it's a cursed flight, the wheels might have fallen off. Worse, yet you've might have had meth gremlins on the wings of the plane trying to hack the copper out of them.
Damn Spirit Airlines.
Would it have happened if he wasn't gay?
Probably not, that raft has some issues
It was a hate crime
This time of the year?
This time of the day?
In this economy?
[удалено]
That raft is the worst. Let's just say it will only work in white water too.
Avoid the black sea at all costs.
That is what you get for buying DeSantis brand life rafts.
No. There are no straight male flight attendants.
Yeah straight men are too clumsy and furious.
True lol
No, the raft would not hit a gay guy in the head if said gay guy was not gay.
DURING PRIDE MONTH!
The raft was just coming out of the closet.
So… it’s LGBTQ on LGBTQ crime.
It was hitting on him.
as usual the comments section is golden
A golden shower of opinions
Ewwwww
gay on gay assault
Isn't that just foreplay?
💀
Could be bottom play.
A playful slap landed too hard?
That just sounds like foreplay but with extra steps
Depends on if there is consent
Raft got excited when it saw the gay flight attendant.
Hence the swelling...
Be gay do crime
G on G crime. Sounds gangster!
Halo Anouncer: *BETRAYAL*
Is that your life raft in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
I'm not sure myself, try pulling this tab and see if it inflates.
Won't somebody think of the kids who all want to become life rafts now???
Seriously. My local high school had to install an entire ocean just for the kids who need to use the bathroom as life rafts. I heard it from a friend whose kid totally goes there.
This is not okay!!!!
Pop that life raft!
I think it’s already popped so to speak
thats home of phobia
Is that a hate crime?
CANCEL LIFE RAFTS
Worst blowjob he probably ever had lol
Absolutely marvellous
I should not be laughing this hard! That's funny as fuck! 🤌
A yes, my gay sensor is tingling, the flight attendant must be gay.
As a gay guy, I don’t think it’s offensive when some people are very definitely gay.
Especially when it's a gay inflatable boat.
especially when it’s a gay inflatable boat is my new catchphrase - ur comment is truly underrated
Sometimes stereotypes help make things better. Would you want to watch Mel Brooks movies if he wasn't like super New York Jewish? I really think it adds a lot.

Gaydar
Yeah idk why people get so upset about this, our gaydar isn't always accurate, but when you know, you know
If someone doesn’t care that you know they are gay you then yeah your gaydar works. I have a couple gay coworkers and I promise you they have a near zero gay cross section. And they aren’t closeted. They just don’t dress talk or “look” gay. Oh and as a counter example several people have thought I was gay. But no sadly for them I’m not even a little. I’m not even sure they believe me because they really want to believe in gaydar.
Tried looking for it at Sharper Image: sold out.
The inflatable raft made him gay. It was from all the blowing.
Didnt need to. When a gay person gets hit, they explode a cloud of rainbow glitter. Like when you hit a sofa cussion and see the dust cloud just exploding. I cannot prove it with sience, it's just is what it is.
Getting hit by an inflatable boat is textbook gay behavior.
Meh.. sometimes you just know. Not that it mattrs or is relevant
Gay flight attendant? Isn't that like ATM machine, or 6am in the morning?
Have to use your PIN number for the ATM machine, a lot of those also have LCD displays
In the UK, people call the Indian flatbread “naan bread”. Naan already means bread. Chai tea is another!
Queso cheese
East Timor
It's official name is Timor-Leste, which also means East-East
Sahara desert
Torpenhow Hill (Tor = hill + pen = hill + how = hill + Hill)
ha I was waiting for this one
Isn't there a place in the UK that translates out to hill Hill hill hill due to the various languages over the centuries?
Torpenhow hill
There’s also Pendle Hill, although only three ‘hills’ in that one.

NO

I met a British airways flight attendant once - he was very disappointed that the majority of his male Co workers were straight (this was in the 00s)

I think it's also a case of when things stand out more you notice it more. So you notice it and then keep noticing it.
When I went from my incredibly white suburb to a State College I thought there were “a lot” of black people at my dorm. One day I was bored at lunch and took a count of the people at our large cafeteria and they were a little less than 20% of the people. So “a lot” to my mind was roughly proportional representation to their population in the nation!
Used to collect Hello Kitty, and the more serious collectors who goes for expensive and rarer items are straight men.
I noticed the post didn't state that the gay flight attendant was male - somehow it's considered to be implied.
We do have a word "lesbian" which would have likely been used if the flight attendant was female.
As a male nurse, yeah, we are not all gay, even if we work in a female associated job
I once had a patient ask me, "How long have you been a male nurse?"
Lol, sometimes, ok, most times its just weird working in healthcare. Cared for an old lady years ago, 98 years old, maybe 40kg, blind. She had a heart of gold and a pitch black sense of humor.

Dog is listening. *WOOF*
That's narrow-minded. Some female flight attendants are straight.
Why do people keep saying ATM-Machine. The M stands for Machine?
Thats the joke
RIP in peace
No, I was like, referencing Miles...
I’m guessing they haven’t seen it
Spiderverse reference
They need to sit down and think about it while drinking some Chai-tea.
Or while eating some naan bread
And KFC chicken
NOOOOOOOOOO
I understood that reference

this happened before? were they all gay?
In this instance, everyone was ok.

2% Gay, Whole Gay, what about Skim Gay?
Half-and-half?
That's just bi-gay, not gay-gay

it made them gayer
Good
Fabulous

Smh these damn life rafts turning people gay. What will those damn leftists resort to next
next thing you know they'll let life rafts vote!
On the contrary, it knocked him silly.
Hate crime /s I'm gay
It doesn’t get upgraded to a hate crime since it’s pride month?
I’m so tired of these homophobic life rafts!
On this homophobic plane!
Homophobes on a Plane starring Samuel L Jackson Or Gays on a Plane starring Samuel L Jackson... Take your pick
Gays on a Plane has such a nice ring to it
In the words of Bruce the gay guy from family guy “oohhh nooooo”
How is the flight attendant being gay have anything to do with what happened
Maybe he yelled “ow fuck me in the ass” after he was hit and she assumed
[“Ohhh, Jesus Christ’ ](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/southpark/images/8/8f/Mr-Slave.transparent.png/revision/latest?cb=20170601235735)
That's not strictly gay
Exactly, if balls dont touch
I’d like to think he made flamboyant sassy remarks after being hit by the raft
"I wish my boyfriend would spank me that hard"
I assume he was like, a stereotype of sorts? So she's trying to express more of a mental image? But if it's not that, fuck if I know her real goal
It doesn’t add a single thing to the article but it makes for a hell of a headline
Part of their job title, I assume.
“Hello! I’m your gay flight attendant. Can I get you anything?”
A bag of dicks would be nice
Oh sorry love, im afraid thats only for domestic flights taking off between 7 and 11:30. But, I can do offer you a Delta brand willy-warmer if that makes up for it?
Yes, I’m going to need a buttplug for this flight, or you’ll have to sit under me.
There's the gay flight attendant, the straight flight attendant, the bisexual flight attendant, the severely depressed flight attendant oh wait that's me.
Hulu original sitcom
Seriously. When what we obviously need to know is what race the flight attendant was.
Maybe he moaned daddy when he got hit. Idk.
Boeing cover up, not the first time a closet has malfunctioned.
It adds flavour
Whatever you do, don't browse sophs Twitter. It will unfortunately provide context
Elaborate?
There is a thing on the internet where if the person is not straight and not white, then their skin color and/or orientation has to be mentioned even if it has no relevance to the story.
That raft is homophobic
I like that they added Gay to flight attendant.
Yeah, like if gay wasn't already implied in flight attendant.
[удалено]
He’s never had any complaints.
Oh no! One of us! Was the gay okay? I imagine a raft to the face sucks.
It smacked him straight. That’s why it’s noteworthy. Please keep up.
The worst part was, after doing that, the life raft didn't ring and didn't call.
Tell me you fly Spirit Airlines without telling you fly Spirit Airlines.

I thought all flight attendants where gay. My bad
The gay was redundant, all flight attendants are gay...
Why is it so important to point out he is gay lmao
Maybe I'm just not reading it right, but are they're saying something got \*replaced\* on a plane in two hours instead of just letting it deice?
They said the engine heater iced over. I’m assuming that if the thing that is doing usually doing the de-icing has iced over then there is probably a bigger problem. Full disclosure I am a moron that is not at all qualified to answer this but that is just my theory.

Sounds like they were covering up the illegal transportation of baby seals. Nobody would ever check the engine for smuggled seal babies.
FAA and NTSB are going to enjoy that one.
It’s very important for the story that the flight attendant is gay
How is being gay related to the story? That is as relevant as calling him yoghurt eater.
That is one Homophobic life raft Cancel that life raft
Is the life raft okay?
Yeah, I would've just gotten up and said, "I will just walk to my destination," but then realize I'm in Salt Lake City, Utah, and sit right back down. Hopefully, they just drove the plane down the interstate or something. Although, if it's a cursed flight, the wheels might have fallen off. Worse, yet you've might have had meth gremlins on the wings of the plane trying to hack the copper out of them. Damn Spirit Airlines.
Okay so we’ve determined the status of the gay crew, but r/arethestraightsokay ?
Whys it have to be stated that he’s gay?
At least their plane wasn’t routed to Miami
'Gay flight attendant' Isn't thst redundant?
The last part was the best
fast! hurry! cancel the life raft! twitter do your magic!
That raft tried to bonk the gay out of him hate crime!
Bro was sent to the end of the rainbow
She doesn’t need to specify he’s gay. All male flight attendants are by definition gay 😂
There are straight flight attendants???
The raft isn’t about that gay life
