I knew something had definitely changed the day my dad and I were threatened to be arrested for not wanting to watch the show ‘Modern Family’ aboard an airplane.

We were flying from Guadalajara to San Jose, California, on an airplane full of families with kids.

We quickly realized the program explicitly showed two men living as a couple and raising a baby, and asked a flight attendant if we could watch something else.

The flight attendant asked why we wanted to change the show and my dad simply replied he thought it was inappropriate for the kids on the flight to see two men raising a child.

The flight attendant became pretty upset. He told my dad that his request was “discrimination” and that he would take it up with the pilot.

Soon after, he came back with the chief flight attendant, a woman who was also very worked up at this point, and they both told us that if we didn’t stay silent for the remainder of the flight, they would have to land in Hermosillo, deplane us, and have us arrested for “discrimination.”

We really couldn’t believe what was happening. Now not only did we have to watch something we disliked on a flight we had paid for, but we were threatened with being arrested for asking the flight attendants to change it.
