Alaska Airlines seem to have caused a stir by introducing a 10 percent discount for customers who purchase tickets through a “gay” page of their own web site. If you're gay you can get a discount to certain locations over the holiday season. Interestingly the offer does not ask for proof of 'sexual orientation', however, it's only people searching for “gay travel options” that will probably find the discount. It's prooked outrage in Idaho where the local 'Values Alliance' said the discount is “blatant discrimination against heterosexuals.” Their quite reasonable position was then blown when they suggested that the airline gives “preferences to male passengers who want to wear dresses on the planes.” It seems the airine have now changed the 'gay travel' page to 'New York Cty On Sale' after it was challenged by some elemnets of the US media

Engrave this Quote He who is only a traveler learns things at second-hand and by the halves, and is poor authority. We are most interested when science reports what those men already know practically or instinctively, for that alone is a true humanity, or account of human experience.
