Risque T-shirt gets man barred from airline flight

MIAMI -- A couple returning home from a Costa Rican vacation was ejected from an American Airlines flight because the man was wearing a T-shirt depicting a bare breast.

Oscar Arela and his girlfriend, Tala Tow, were removed from Flight 952 Saturday at Miami International Airport after he refused to change the shirt or turn it inside out. The flight left 90 minutes late without them.

The couple, making a connecting flight from Costa Rica, said nobody on the earlier flight objected to the shirt and claimed the airline violated their constitutional right to free speech.

"It's a picture of a man and woman, and the woman's breast is showing," Tow said. "The flight attendant basically walked up to us and yelled, 'You have to take off that shirt right now.'"

It would have been OK to show the nipples. Tough luck. One instance where society's wacky fucked up way of looking at sexuality doesn't discriminate against gay men.
