It wasn’t too long ago that the Catholic Family Human Rights Institute’s Austin Ruse was forced to see a lesbian couple call each other “wife” on the Food Network. Now another right-wing activist has reported a harrowing brush with gay people on television.
Iowa-based talk show host Steve Deace wrote on Twitter this morning:
So I'm on an @AmericanAir flight and the inflight TV show for all to see just had a seen of a grown woman kissing a teenage girl.

A few minutes later he tweeted again about the “lesbian make out attempt” he had been forced to witness:
Lesbian make out attempt on in-flight TV show on @AmericanAir flight from D.C to Chicago = You will be made to care, even at 30,000 feet.

American Airlines responded to both of Deace’s tweets, promising to “forward” his “concerns,” at which point Deace took to Facebook to congratulate himself as a lone protector of liberty on a flight full of moral cowards:
Now, this is a full-flight, and I'm sure I'm not the only person that finds this programming objectionable. So why was I the only one to say something? When you find the answer to that you'll discover a major reason why we are in the shape we are in as a people. Of course, all those who remained silent now will come to people like me later and ask us to defend them when it's their liberty on the line. Funny how that works.
