If there are no laws to give gay people equal rights (google ENDA) then why should something that gives gays a discount be illegal?

Fair is fair only only if rights apply to everyone.

Married Straight people already get a discount on lots of stuff, begining with their taxes....

Only a matter of time?? Read the OP.

isles1 said:Trinidon2k said:How could this be legal? Seems descriminatory (Sp?)I'd agree. Very odd promo from a PR standpoint. Only a matter of time before some group complains.

i think it is totally legal companies have promos all the time for married couples whats the diff?

The ad campaign was targeted to gay and lesbian travelers. Anyone who happens upon this code can use it; it's not like they're going to ask you to prove that you're gay. Just use the code and get the discount, for Pete's sake. It's just like another poster said... airlines will give you a discount if you're going to a convention if you can find out the promo code that was sent to legitimate convention-goers. How could this promotion be illegal then?

Not sure how you figure that. There was actually a tax penalty for being married for decades.

There's nothing in the promotion that says anything about your sexual orientation.
