“We want to make it clear we were not making out or creating any kind of spectacle of ourselves, it was one modest kiss… We are responsible adult women who walk through the world with dignity. We were simply being affectionate like any normal couple.”

Electro-pop duo Uh Huh Her, aka real-life couple Leisha Hailey and Camila Grey, have called for the LGBT community to boycott US aviation carriers Southwest Airlines after they were ordered off one of their flights for displaying ‘excessive’ affection towards one another. The duo’s response continued: “No matter how quietly homophobia is whispered, it doesn’t make it any less loud. You can’t whisper hate. We ask this airline to teach their employees to not discriminate against any couple, ever, regardless of their own beliefs.”

Uh Huh Her release their second album Nocturnes, co-produced by Grey and Wendy Melvoin, on October 10. Among the eleven songs is ‘Same High’, a song they penned for the soundtrack of 2010 movie hit ‘The Kids Are All Right’, which starred Julianne Moore and Annette Bening as a married lesbian couple raising two children.
