As a passenger, you are required to behave in a manner which is not likely to endanger the aircraft, or to incite bad behaviour in others. The other passengers considered his acts to be offensive and complained. He was asked to desist by the cabin crew. In the same way that hetro or lesbian couples would be asked when flying on BA to do the same, if there were complaints.
First of all, I have to say first that if the guys got out of hand and were threatening, abusive, or anything else illegal, they should be treated just like anyone else, gay or not. Period.
But I wonder: If kissing between two men is offensive to another passenger, would the crew have to ask them to stop? I don't think they were having sex or anything. Would the pax have said anything if it were a straight couple?
And is it ok for two men to book the new "Double Bed" seat in CW?
