Gay Rights Supporter Booted From Flight After Telling Texas Guv To 'Go To Hell'

[DonViejo]

A man who was scheduled to fly Tuesday night from New York City to Austin, Texas on the same plane as Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) was bumped from the flight after giving the governor a piece of his mind on gay marriage.

A spokesman for Abbott, Matt Hirsch, told The Austin American-Statesman that the passenger approached the governor at John F. Kennedy International Airport and shook his hand before broaching the topic of same-sex marriage.

“I hope you (expletive) go to hell because of your stance on gay marriage," the man said to Abbott, according to Hirsch.

"Other passengers seemed unnerved a little bit by it,” Hirsch told the newspaper.

The American-Statesman reported that Abbott's security detail then asked the man, whom Port Authority police only identified as a 32-year-old, to back away from the governor. The man said, "I’m going to see you on the plane," as he walked away, Hirsch told the newspaper.

1. I dont blame the governor. When you are a vicious murdering taliban member, by murder

i mean your policies will kill thousands of Women or Gay people (by not allowing them equal rights you encourage others to kill them) you dont want to be on the same plane as a decent human being.

Right?
