Homophobia on Delta flight? Man ‘uncomfortable’ next to Mykki Blanco, calls the cops - TomoNews

DETROIT — Artist Mykki Blanco took to Twitter recently to tell the story of his encounter with what would appear to be a strange case of homophobia.

Blanco recently traveled from Toronto to Detroit on a Delta Airlines flight, where he was reportedly seated next to another man. According to Blanco, while he was asleep during the flight, the man called the police, who woke him up when they landed in Michigan.

The man apparently said he wasn’t comfortable sitting next to Blanco and expressed how he didn’t understand how Delta could have allowed someone like Blanco to board the plane and sit next to him.

The police officer reportedly sided with the complaining passenger, even threatening Blanco with jail time and FBI action if he didn’t cooperate. Blanco was told he could file a report himself to tell “his side of the story,” but according to Blanco, whatever slight his seatmate alleges Blanco inflicted was fabricated.

Delta has since responded, extending their apologies over Twitter and asking for more information.

Blanco said he hoped the company could shed some light on the bizarre incident, and find some way to prove that he had actually been sleeping through the entire flight.

He looks scary though, sorry but it's true. Fight me

[NuclearGrizzly]

Do in image search for "Mykki Blanco." Homophobia is like 35th on the list of why nobody would want that freak of nature sitting next to them.

[imalright]

Even if a female looked and acted like this guy I would feel very uncomfortable too.

[anson]

I know a god damn alien when I see one.

[Komoari]

Bruh
You know, these are the types of people to be extra gay around.
Lgbtq+ fam, where r u

[sundewy]

I would vomit on that thing if it slept beside me

[reesah]

Well not everyone is into damaged grown men playing princess and wearing a wig.

[PHILLY]

if I was next to that...I would be weirded out tf...

[mrmagic]

story doesn't add up, i think there's so much that is not being reported (on purpose) for the sake of click bait

[swolelordnito]

Most would be uncomfortable sitting with someone like this...normally people don't look like that...

[yyyyyyyyyroto]

Being gay doesn't mean that you wear make up and behave like a female. I'm male and gay and I would also be very uncomfortable next to that. Not to an extreme to call the police tho.

[thecatholicbananaduck]

lol I would rather try to sell sand in Egypt then sit next to that thing.

[Skyler_Momoko]

Calling the police over an OUTFIT!??!?! AN OUTFIT!??! We seriously have real-life fashion police now?!!?? My god!

[strangepecos]

Guess I'll be staying away from Delta.

[QBon]

Seriously guys you shouldn’t blame him a typical straight person would be a little uncomfortable sitting next to a trans

[justincui]

Whoever called the cops on Mykki, I hope that he gets tricked into booking a United reservation, where the crew should have no problem giving him a beating

[jason]

If i see that fool sitting next to me I would called the police and the Fashion Police.

[KaytlinGomez]

wtf thats racist for the second one. She was equally educated

[jumpluff]

I'd be uncomfortable to but I wouldn't call the cops.

[walterkersting]

Be whatever you want and take responsibility for it. It would be like going around in a clown outfit and calling it normal and expecting to be taken seriously, and getting all sanctimonious about some people find it creepy.
