gay plane ride?

I have to add this relatively un-academic post because it is hilarious. Air New Zealand has brilliantly come up with the idea of gay themed plane rides. I lived in New Zealand for six months last year and couldn't help but notice that gay bars and the gay scene eerily reminded me of books I had read of the gay scene in the 1950s in America, only without the police raids. I have flown Air New Zealand extensively and, while the airline is quite posh, this blatant gayness is something I hardly expected of one of New Zealand's only national companies (remember, there are more people in the state of Minnesota than there are in the entire country of New Zealand...17 sheep for every person, and only about 20 companies based out of there). Where is American Airlines on this?? Are we as a country so uptight we couldn't enjoy fabulous entertainment 36,000 feet in the air? One of the questions I received most often while over there was, "how horrible is it to be gay in the United States?" I always told everyone that it was quite a bit different. I felt invisible there. That also may have been a result of most women being extremely dykey (my gaydar was so off!) Here I stick out like a sore thumb. Regardless, I am amending my answer to this frequently posed question...ladies and gentlemen, queers and gays, it is much better to be gay in New Zealand because at the very least they provide you with in flight homosexual entertainment before you even enter the country.
