Actress and musician Leisha Hailey is outraged The L Word star and talented musician Leisha Hailey is demanding an apology from an American airline which threw her off a flight for kissing her girlfriend. Hailey, who played Alice Pieszecki on the Showtime lesbian series has taken to Twitter to vent her rage at Southwest Airlines after she and her girlfriend Camila Grey, who is also her Uh Huh Her bandmate, were escorted off a flight. She claims a flight attendant told her kissing her partner was not okay because it was a "family" airline. "Since when is showing affection to someone you love illegal?" Hailey has tweeted. "This is an outrage. I demand a public apology by SouthwestAir and a refund. Hate is not a family value. I will never fly this airline,” she continued. "I know plenty of wonderful same sex families I would like to introduce them to. Boycott @SouthwestAir if you are gay. They don't like us." An airline representative has tweeted an apology and asked her to get in touch to discuss the situation privately. Southwest is the same airline which recently kicked Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong off a domestic flight because his pants sagged too low.
