I’m a lesbian teamster and I’m so happy to hear this! :)

I don’t know why either, Emily, but I have noticed a disproportionate number of seemingly gay flight attendants. These are stereotypes, sure, but I think there’s a large grain of truth running through them.

Are there proportionately as many lesbians in iron working and such? I have no idea. Whatever the cause, I’m grateful to have the support of these unions (many of which comprise predominantly blue-collar workers who tend unfortunately to be rather less in favor of marriage equality than higher socioeconomic classes).

I don’t understand why being a flight attendant is especially “gay.”

And I think regarding stereotypes, you’re forgetting us lesbians. we ARE stereotypically “butch” and involved in manual labor. Maybe, in terms of stereotypes, the lesbos are pushing the labor unions to get involved.
