Do you ever get treated better by GLBT FA's?

Yes we do take notice of Y pax. But I guess since I like to work in F and C the GLBT pax in those cabins catch my eye first. I'm more of a hot man in a suit over the AF Model guy not to say that I haven't had fun with many AF model types during a Layover in a few of my fave cites. ( Thanks for the tips umguy)

This made me laugh as last month I was on a flight sitting next to such a man - amazingly goodlooking. The FA, who I know from other previous flights and ran into at Score one time in Miami and who has always been very pleasant, noticed him too. When drop dead model got up to use the lav, and apparently my glance lingered as he walked up the aisle, the FA came by to refill my drink, smiled and said, "I saw him first." I laughed and repeated the old chestnut about "age and treachery (mine) overcoming youth and skill (his) anyday." Later he told me that model boy hooked up with one of the female FA's. We both agreed he was not that hot after all.

The issues AA has had with homophobes seem like they are at least willing to deal with, rather than ignore. On balance, I continue to spend my travel dollars with them because of their openness.

I could have sworn I replied to this thread last year, but couldn't find my post.
I have received (stop giggling!) special attention from QF FA's (most of whom are outstanding in service). I flew AKL-LAX in J, and the Asian-Australian FA spoke to my partner and I for a little while and gave us a bag of champagne & chocolates (he placed it in the overhead midflight and told us a little present was in there!)
On another flight, again in J, I wanted a midnight snack so I was wandering to the help yourself bar and the male FA bent over backwards (stop) to assist - offering to make a toasted sandwich, get whatever we wanted, presumably because he too was bored. He was ultra-friendly and it was wonderful. We also got chatting about Australia's ridiculous Prime Minister but he gave me some tips on getting my American BF into Australia through a legal domestic partner loophole. In any case, all was over and above the call of duty and would not have happened if the FA wasn't gay.
So yes, we do get special attention sometimes - just don't demand it!

My experience is generally that the male FAs generally talk to me in the galley when I'm in F... By then they've seen the PAX manifest and wondered how in the world I'm a 1K. I had a great conversation with a FA recently in F and he even sent me on my way with a bottle of white wine. Love it when that happens!

This thread never fails me. You guys are just putting this never-going-to-happen-ever-to-me-but-i-wanna-be-part-of-this-so-badly-like-crazy mindset into me every time. hahaha!!
Hands down, the most entertaining thread...

My last BA sector with the boy before Christmas saw the purser being quite generous with champagne top-ups which was quite something considering it was only DUB-LGW.. and just before the old cabin crew seats for landing he handed a plastic bag to us with 4 more bottles inside

My last SWISS flight - a slow and quite flight. Pursur and I talked for a while ... got a bottle of champagne plus his card right before landing. I sent him an email 
... but never get any reply back 
- I thought we had some chemistry.

So I am traveling on an USAir awards ticket on 3/7, LAX-LAS-JFK (no longer fly US Air but had enough miles left for a domestic ticket). So when checking in at the kiosk it asks me if I want to upgrade, however, will only allow me to upgrade both segments. LAX to LAS only a fifty minute flight and not worth the $50. But the LAS/JFK segment worth the $150.
Instead I am told to check at the gate if I only want to upg on the LAS-JFK segment. So I go to the gate and two "brothers" are working the gate. Tell them that I want to upg. They never swipe my cc that I handed to them, I never sign a cc charge and the receipt that they give me along with my new boarding pass shows a $.00 charge (along with a big smile from them). Also got comped into the Crunch in West Hollywood. In all a very productive trip and again another reason why the gay life is the fab life. Kudos to the cute Asian GA that let me ride up front for free (which was particularly nice given that we had a delay leaving the gate at LAS).
