“This is the most bizarre form of homophobia I have ever encountered.”
Mykki Blanco has detailed an incident they reportedly experienced with the police yesterday after a fellow airplane passenger called the authorities, citing discomfort for being seated next to “someone like [him].” Blanco tweeted that it was “the most bizarre form of homophobia [they] have ever encountered.”
After falling asleep on a flight from Toronto to Detroit, Blanco says they had the cops called on them by the passenger they were seated next to. “He said that he was not comfortable and did not know how Delta allowed ‘someone like me’ to board the plane with him and sit next to him,” Mykki explained on Twitter.
Read their entire explanation below. Blanco is currently on The Stunt Queen Tour with Cakes Da Killa.

This is REAL @Delta. Then I was told by a police officer that an FBI report would be made from our "interaction", except I did not interact

I was told I would "go to jail" if I continued to ask questions about why this police officer was giving preferential treatment to this man

I was then told I could file a report myself and give "my side of the story".. but the entire incident itself is fabricated
