Qantas accused of ‘blatant homophobia’
I would be pissed off too if I was asked to be separated from my partner without good reason.

“I have never experienced such blatant discrimination,’’ she said.
so would not typically condone such action by his crew!
You must have missed the circa 100 preachers of various denominations who have forged a hard anti-gay agendas: and later been exposed as closet homosexuals. Those that protest too much ...and those that don't at all.
Does seem like a beatup. Yes they were sitting across the aside from each other. And it seems they were so self- obsessed that being polite and giving up your seat so a 70 yo couple could sit together was such an outrageous suggestion that they have created a major incident. Sheesh. After all it was such a long flight.I must be missing something here. The complainant in this matter says her partner was seated across the aisle. Thus they were not seated together anyway.
The description provided also overlooks why the passenger sitting next to the wife, wasn't asked to swap with the husband and therefore be reseated next to the partner across the aisle. There's clearly something missing from this, so far one sided, story.:?:

So these people were so insecure that they just glad to hold hands across the aisle? Who knows what the conditions of the other passengers were.Besides, there would have been 6 sets of 2 seats in a 737. Are you telling me everyone onboard was at least a member of a couple that flight and the best family unit to displace was the one with a young child? That's rhetorical.
Clearly the lawyer doesn't think they have a case otherwise they would have litigated rather than whinging to the media.
As PF notes, the whole story (such as seperate PNR's perhaps) is not known, however if it were me, and a same sex partner and our (young) child in a 2-2 config, I also wouldn't be moving just so a 70 year old couple could sit together. They've most likely had many years together, while my hypothetically young child hasn't had many years with us. Flying can be scary, and I'd want to be in eyesight of them at all times to reassure them everything was okay.

While this may not be homophobia, it's at the very least rude if the CSM made a fuss of the situation and then didn't apologise when realising their mistake. Turning and walking away isn't the standard I'd expect on QF.
