A woman making homophobic remarks was apparently removed from a flight bound for DFW International Airport, according to a video posted to YouTube Monday.
The 46-second video, made of two screen-recorded Snapchat videos, shows a woman following the rest of her travel party through the aisle with her mask around her chin while arguing with other passengers on the plane. The video is the only one posted by YouTube account Viral Dallas 99.
Someone in the party, which included multiple children, can be heard using a homophobic slur several times, followed by a chorus of other passengers telling the group to get off the plane.
“You think I talk to my kids about same-sex marriage,” the woman yelled after the rest of her party was out of the video frame. “No, we don’t talk about that. But if we all want to talk about it, let’s talk about it.”
Her exit was met with cheers and clapping from other passengers.
“No one wants to listen to your bigotry,” a passenger said in the background of the video. “Get off the plane.”
The video identifies the woman as a North Texas real estate agent. The Dallas Morning News left a message on a publicly available cell phone number for the woman, though she didn’t return the call.
The scene, which has circulated on Twitter and Reddit since being posted, garnered some outrage from viewers.
“Not only is it always Texas, it’s always Dallas,” wrote Twitter user @leftgrrl75.
The airline on whose plane this occurred could not be confirmed. American Airlines, which operates the bulk of flights out of DFW, said it needed a flight number or date and destination to determine if it was one of its flights.
Passenger disruptions on planes have become a major issue in recent months, with leisure travel picking up following months of pandemic isolation.
Just 10 days before this video was posted, a female body builder was barred from an American Airlines flight from DFW to Miami for clothing deemed “offensive” by the airline.
