Nope, they're not new. They have always been Q-blocked. It's just that, until now, you couldn't use AA.com to see those seats unless logged in as an elite or from inside a PNR booked in Y/B class. Now, you can see them regardless of whether you are logged in or not.
I don't remember this seat category existing before. They are noted on the seat map in the lavendar box. Are they just for GLBT pax ?
Nope, all passengers who fit the established criteria can select lavender seats, not just GLBT pax.
