Ugh. What crass stereotyping. Does this FA really assume that every gay man bases their travel decisions on the best party?
To me, that's about as offensive as asking a black person why they're at the opera instead of seeing Kanye West perform - in other words, very offensive.
From a flight attendant? Very uncool and unprofessional.

Why on earth would he have a reaction like that unless he was flat-out jealous or somehow didn't approve of long-term relationships (but would he have said the same if he'd heard that a heterosexual couple had been together so long)? In either case, that's just bang out of order.
