'Get off the plane!' Mum and kids kicked off flight after 'vile' rant
A mother and her children have been kicked off a flight after a homophobic rant that went viral online after it was filmed by fellow passengers.
The clip shows a chorus of people yelling "bye" and clapping as the woman is escorted off the plane, still yelling at fellow passengers.
"You think I talk to my kids about same-sex marriage?" the woman said toward the end of the video as she began walking back up the aisle. "No, we don't talk about that. But if we all want to talk about it, let's talk about it."
She also accused a fellow passenger of "corrupting Disney". It's not known what airline she was flying on.
In a video uploaded to YouTube, the woman is seen swearing at passengers and staff as she collects her belongings.
"Get off the plane." several people tell her.
"No one wants to listen to your bigotry," says another.
The original video, which reportedly included the woman yelling homophobic slurs, was reportedly shared on YouTube after being filmed on Snapchat but has since been deleted.
TikTok account Dallas Texas TV reposted part of the clip.
