So, yes, crew wanted a gay couple to either sit separately, so a straight couple could sit together, or leave the flight.
There is no lack of bigotry among airline crews, especially on AA
That's a one sided story.
Given Alaska's airlines full apology text, and knowing how seating errors may (and do) occur all the time, I am inclined to believe Alaska

This unfortunate incident was caused by a seating error, compounded by a full flight and a crew seeking an on-time departure and nothing more than that. It’s our policy to keep all families seated together whenever possible; that didn’t happen here and we are deeply sorry for the situation. We’ve reached out to Mr. Cooley to offer our sincere apologies for what happened and we are seeking to make it right.
