Male Flight Attendants & Gay

If I&#;m going to have a guy FA, I&#;d actually opt favor that he were male lover. Like someone said, the straight ones will construct it known within the first part of any new conversation, and then they go out of their way the whole trip to tell us how many girls they&#;ve "banged" and how they got 4 sets of "digits" on the overnight. It also seems to me that in an effort to be looked at as a man&#;s man, they also they have to refer to sex, women, boobs, and vaginas in the most vulgar/obscure terms possible.

Strangely enough, many of the straight-male flight attendants I&#;ve worked with the past few months have been the identical opposite. They didn&#;t construct it clear they were straight, but it just came out in normal conversations about your wife, kids, girlfriend, etc. In fact, two straight-male flight attendants are on my "definitely fly-with list." Excellent guys to have an adult beverage and pleasant conversation with.

I think most problems arise when we start putting people into groups. The

In the Norman Mailer novel Harlot’s Ghost, an Eastern Air Lines flight attendant simultaneously dates an executive at her corporation, Frank Sinatra, John F. Kennedy, the mafia boss Sam Giancana, and the narrator, a CIA agent stationed in Miami. “Coffee, tea, or me?” stewardesses joked in the s, and while Mailer exaggerated the quality of his character’s affairs, the quantity was plausible. A decade later, a lawsuit by a straight truck driver named Carlos Diaz forced airlines to lift their ban on male flight attendants. The “me” soon included a large proportion of gay m

How the Gay Airline Steward Became a Stereotype

Brow Beat

Some commentary on Pedro Almodóvar’s new comedy I’m So Excited has noted that it reinforces gay stereotypes, particularly in the characters of its sassy male flight attendants, who are all gay. When did the gay steward grow such a common stereotype?

Around World War II. When commercial flight first started, the position of the flight attendant was thought to be appropriate only for (presumably straight) men. As Phil Tiemeyer points out in his bookPlane Queer: Labor, Sexuality, and AIDS in the History of Male Flight Attendants, a brand-new book which proved an invaluable resource for this post, the first flight attendants, in the late s and s, were actually men, and were expected to be traditionally masculine. Since aviation had been associated primarily with war and engineering, it had been considered a man’s industry, and the cabin crew, too, was expected to fit that role. Because of this, early uniforms for crew and pilots were also often military-inspired, featuring stripes, pilot wings, and caps (some of these ele

The notion that male flight attendants are likely gay--whence? (Running With Scissors)

(Note: I allude to Augusten Burroughs’ of that title and the film that was based on it, but this isn’t really a Cafe World question. I also challenge that there is a definitive factual answer, so I don’t believe it belongs in GQ either. )

Years ago I saw the movie Running With Scissors, and some moment later I came across the memoir and scan that. I’ve started rereading it and apparently own forgotten how damn hilarious it is. I express, the Finches, like wow, man. It’s astonishing that all this is more or less true.

I don’t remember if it was in the movie, but early on in the book he tells us that, as, a kid, one of his illusion jobs was to be an airline flight attendant. And right away, with that, I “know” that he’s gay. Granted, there are a few other clues in that chapter, but the flight attendant thing is the clincher. And I’m aware of this notion about male flight attendants, which could probably extend generally to male airline employees who serve the passengers
