Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air have announced a new program that will charge heterosexuals 10 percent extra for their air travel to specific locations during the Christmas season.

The company actually offers the 10 percent as a discount but only if the purchaser obtains the ticket through a "gay" page of the company's website, a location not typically patronized by families seeking travel arrangements, according to an Idaho activist who was distressed by the offering.

Bryan Fischer, of the Idaho Values Alliance, told WND the company boasts of its "nondiscrimination" policies, but, "here they are blatantly discriminating against heterosexuals in their pricing structure."

Word of the discount came through an airline employee, who needed to remain anonymous because of concerns over retaliation. The employee reported the company had sent e-mails out announcing the "very soft launch" of the new promotion.

"They are giving preferences to male passengers who want to wear dresses on the planes, and giving them preference over married couples," Fischer said, noting families typically buy more tickets than individuals or pairs traveling together.

"It just doesn't seem like it's smart business for them to stick their thumb in the eye of the main passengers," he told WND.

He said he had called the company's reservations number and the clerk was unaware of the program and it didn't come up on the general list of discounts available to reservations agents, but he did verify that the "gay" page discount was valid – but only by going through the "gay" page.

"The only way you could take advantage of this is to self-identify as a homosexual, lesbian, bisexual or transgender. Otherwise you're out of luck," Fischer told WND.

The actual program, he noted, doesn't demand a person be homosexual, but is set up so that only those deliberately looking for "gay" travel options would find it.

A spokeswoman for the airline, Amanda Bielawski, returned WND's call requesting a comment, but didn't answer questions, noting that she didn't know about the program. Then she quizzed WND on who had given the news organization information on the program.

Fischer said he'd been told by sources the corporation viewed the homosexual community as a "gigantic profitable segment of the market."

The company earlier had an offer to travel to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, under its "gay" discount, and currently is offering discounted "holiday" travel.

"Lucky travelers who immediately switch their sexual orientation from heterosexual to anything else can qualify for a special 10 percent discount for holiday travel to New York City," noted Fischer. "All they have to do, according to Alaska, is enter a special discount code "when you purchase your tickets at [the "gay" web page].

"Alaska is basically imposing a 10 percent surcharge for these destinations on travelers who are sexually normal. It's certainly odd to see such blatant discrimination against heterosexuals from a company that claims to be all about equal treatment for everyone," Fischer said.

"It's always a mistake for a company to establish policies that normalize homosexuality, lesbianism, bisexuality and transgenderism, but to add insult to injury by penalizing straights in the process is inexcusable," he said.

The airline's special page also promotes flights to events such as the "5th Los Angeles LGBT People of Color Film Festival," and the "8th International Conference of Gay and Lesbian Tourism."

Road Bridge Collapses in Minneapolis

Dozens missing and more than 10 known dead. Click HERE for the story.

Within about five minutes of the collapse, the US Department of Homeland Security issued a statement: "There is no indication of terrorism in the disaster".

Wow... those guys are so good. Instead of saying, "We just don't know what happened yet", they're already 100% certain that no one was involved in intentionally causing harm to this bridge. They're incredible! So good that they ought to know exactly where the missing people are and what DID cause this - well, five minutes ago.

The very fact that DHS rushes such statements out worries me. They really have no clue but in order to insure there is no panic (is that why?), they say such things. And because they do rush this kind of a blanket statement out, you can rest assured that they will say the same thing if indeed there WAS terrorism behind an event.

Such a waste of government resources... they ought to rename themselves the U.S. Department of Propaganda. This is at a time when we need clarity, honesty, and a transparent government. Sadly, we have none of those.

The start...of the Fall...

Here it comes... the start of the fall of Pakistan.
Once it falls, then Al Queda will have 50+ nukes and delivery systems. This is a most serious development...

Achtung! Das BUSH Seizes Power!

President Bush, completely ignoring members of his own party and those that elected him, has run amok with his own personal agenda. In a power grab that resembles early Nazi Germany, Bush has been whittling away at our Constitutional Rights while refusing to protect Americans from invaders from outside this country.

The country is being flooded FLOODED by illegal immigrants at a rate of 40,000 a day. This includes OTMs... "O"ther "T"han "M"exicans... in other words, terrorists. And Lord Bush, holding hands with Ted Kennedy, purposefully look the other way. Worse, his pals insure that hard working Border Agents go to jail for doing their job. In this respect, Commandant Bush is insuring that drugs continue to FLOW into this country.

Senior Bush has already destroyed the Republican Party. Next: America. She will be destroyed by Premiere Bush and his CEO cronies and the American people are shouldering the cost and brunt of all of this.

This then brings into question all this Iraq war business. I used to believe it was a just war, now I do not. Anything Bush touches has turned to crap has been BAD NEWS for the citizens of this country. Bush has tried to sell our ports and our infrastructure out from under us, Bush spends trillions on a pointless war, Bush refuse to protect Americans, Bush refuses to respond to his party, Bush refuses to stop terrorists at the Mexican border.

You really have to wonder WHO Bush is working for. It certainly is NOT America. Ask Peggy Noonan of the Wall Street Journal.

And did you know that Senior Bush just bought 400 acres of land on Paraguay for his retirement compound?

AMERICA - WAKE UP. YOUR COUNTRY HAS JUST BEEN TAKEN FROM YOU - RIGHT OUT FROM UNDER YOUR NOSE.

TB Outbreak Occurring in the US - Not a Peep In the Main Stream Media

State health officials tested 286 employees at a Greenville poultry-processing plant for tuberculosis after a case of TB was reported there, and nearly half had a positive skin test.

You are seeing the tip of the iceberg... because there are NO controls, no screening, no identity check, no fence on the southern border of this nation (unlike ANY other nation on this planet), we are now facing the initial phase of a TB "outbreak". And this is NOT the kind that is curable.

Animal Rights Activists Gone Insane

"In some ways, Hiasl is like any other Viennese: He indulges a weakness for pastry, likes to paint and enjoys chilling out watching TV. But he doesn't care for coffee, and he isn't actually a person—at least not yet. In a case that could set a global legal precedent for granting basic rights to apes, animal rights advocates are seeking to get the 26- year-old male chimpanzee legally declared a 'person.'"

And if they're successful, I want those animal rights activists legally declared to be newts.
