Rainbows

Did anyone notice on the xjt.com trivia question- that it was changed/deleted the whole part about the sexual orientation? Now it simply asks about rainbows.

I sent my 'answer' in. It clearly said:

"We know what diversity is. Either have a White Girl Trivia Question of the Month, or just stop."

Yes- gay people work here. I don't Care!!!

I just hate how all this "awareness" stuff is so forced. If you ask me it cheapens the message for whatever they're peddling (Gay awareness, african-american awareness, womens breast cancer, etc).

If anything, just put a small note up. "ExpressJet Celebrates Gay Awareness Week," maybe a nice picture of Martin Luther King on the website in February. So much classier than some sugar-coated quiz or contest..

UGH, here we go again...

y when you go to gay clubs these days its filled st8t guys looking for st8t girls? I swear the term gay club these days means “st8t guys, there are a lot of young hot st8t girls and very little competition”,,, so now my st8t friends are always calling me up to go to the gay club with me like i am some kind of f**ken tour guide for them.

Then the other day I was chilling in this st8t bar in the Power and Lighting District in KC on a layover and the bar tender comes over and puts some tequila shots in front of us and is like "that guy over there bought you these shots." This is not the 1st time that has happened to me in a st8t bar either.

My point here is that the lines that once were strong in the sand are fading and in the modern society that we have today (except IAH, j/k). I feel like we are starting to over kill the topic 2 death. Thank you ExpressJet for letting all of us know GLBT people work here, but with 1 in 10-20 people in the world being gay or bi, and considering we have more then 20 people working here, we can all figure that out. The problem is that we have became and ultra sensitive society who has to almost feel bad for you being different instead of recognizing how much like everyone ease you really are...

I didn't know we had any people here that were from Lesbos.

I like that 1 in 10-20 are Bi or gay.....Bi means choice not design, heck that statement alone shows they don't even know....
