A passenger seated in first-class was arrested after allegedly assaulting a Delta Air Lines flight attendant and calling him homophobic slurs on a flight from Atlanta to Phoenix.
Christopher Alexander Morgan’s disruptive conduct reads like a checklist for a flight crew’s worst behavior — he refused to wear a seat belt, fully reclined his seat prior to takeoff and wouldn’t return it to its upright position, demanded more alcohol and became verbally and physically aggressive. That’s bingo!
After one flight attendant had to force Morgan’s seat up so the flight could depart, Morgan was served one drink. When he asked for another, a second attendant refused and instead offered him a non-alcoholic drink, according to the complaint.
Morgan responded by tossing his ice at the flight attendant and calling him “queer” and a “f*g.” A passenger tried to calm the situation, but Morgan’s behavior continued, according to the document.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The flight attendant walked towards the cockpit to use a telephone to inform the captain of the disruption. Morgan allegedly followed him and interrupted the call by grabbing the phone and hitting him in the chest with it. A passenger confirmed they saw Morgan throw the phone at the flight attendant.
Law enforcement was there to greet the plane when it landed in Phoenix.
Following his arrest, Morgan told the FBI that “the flight attendant was homosexual and that this made him uncomfortable. When the flight attendant refused to serve Morgan another drink, he became angry.”
“Morgan said that he is homophobic and that it is possible he could have been intimidating the flight attendants,” the complaint reads. “He said that his homophobia may have caused his temper towards the flight attendant to escalate.”
Mister P
The law in Florida basically is teaching morons like this that because there are gay people in the world he can’t behave properly.
We need laws the teach love, acceptance, diversity and stop with the otherness.

I wish all of the passengers who witnessed this gave this guy a sendoff he’ll never forget…at least not until he gets out of the hospital.
just1normalguy
We need to Airlines to permanently ban them from flying on any airlines by law. Once they get banned they can blame no one but themselves. Its not a right to fly and time the legal system teaches people that. That also goes for people like Calhoun who keeps breaking law with loaded guns. I could care less if a Congressman. He breaks the law he walks or drives. No more flying.

Mister P: I completely agree. Trump opened the gates and gave citizens permission to lie, hate, and generally act uncivilly; the cons have run with that to alarming extremes; and Desantis channeled much of that right-wing fear and rage toward gays. They’re all complicit in making this guy feel that his criminal behavior is justified by his homophobia.
just1normalguy: Fortunately, such regulations have just passed. There is a lifetime flight ban. The FAA has had it; it says now that it will vigorously restrict problem passengers. We’ll see how it plays out in practice (and upon legal challenges), but at least they seem pretty serious about it at this point.

NO. We need to kick a-holes like this in the ass !!! Give them a taste of their own medicine !!!

Christopher Alexander Morgan should be thankful he made it to a landing and the safety of police custody. IMO, the flight attendant should have chucked him out of the plane mid-flight, like he chucked his ice cubes. I’m kidding, of course. But, there really ought to be a law against using ‘homophobia’ as an excuse for anything. Homophobia itself needs to be treated as a mental illness that deserves being locked away from the public. I feel the same way about racist behavior. Adults that verbally attack someone for who they are has become more popular because of the heated political atmosphere brought on by a particular segment of our society. It isn’t really ‘free speech’. It’s childish nonsense, and it needs to stop!
IanHunter
I agree. I think that he should be served with several charges including assault and endangering the lives of however many people were aboard the plane.
miller2900
…. Music908, why treat criminal behavior as a “mental illness”? What, so these types of *astards can go on disability income the rest of their lives??? Absolutely not. Do you want to pay for *astards like this via SS disability and or your taxes? Through his ungrateful ass in jail for 90-days minimum AND provide compensation to ALL the passengers that were made late because the flight couldn’t take off in a timely manner…. along with the flight attendant for his assault!

`Once again proof that money does not equate to class. Flying first class one would expect a bit more class and decorum. Then again, a perfect example of a GOF (Grand Old Failure) party supporter that is as dumb as Dumph he supports.

I read another article about this incident that stated he was drunk when he got on the plane and took his seat.

So it is 17h40 local time on the East Coast of South Africa. Just got back from a walk on the beach with our dogs and the newest member of the family. An overactive spaniel named Hero. In recognition of all the heroes in the country that we all know who invaded. Goodness he is so aggressive and determined.
Sebs reminded me to give @Toofie credit for calling out “you know who” as the Copy and Pate Queen on Queerty. So @Toofie, thank you for your assistance in naming “IT” BTH Copy and Paste Queen and now I gladly add Queen. Not sure if a troll can be called a Queen?
LOL.LOL.LOL.
Life is bliss on the East Coast of South Africa.

Dude why do you keep posting comments like this? This isn’t fb or Twitter where you post your life updates that secretly no one cares about but you keep telling yourself that they do. You wanna brag about your so called amazing life? Go to the social media built for people like you seeking validation from strangers on the internet. But here how about you stick to the topics at hand and leave your pretentious bs at the door k honey? Thank you ?
Bengali
Don’t take this personally. Your posts are irrelevant and idiotic. Actually, please do take my post personally. You’re a moron. You’re like one of those yappers who just talks to people about whatever you like even if they don’t care. Maybe next time you’ll meet a captive audience (more like captured in your case) who won’t listen to your drivel and will introduce you to rejection.

BREITBART? WTF @BTH Copy and Paste Queen. This is Queerty dearie. 2 attacks against your hundreds?
LOL.LOL.LOL.
@thisisnotreal and @Bengali, you have clearly not been following that we have a troll, and we all know who that is , that has made it “IT’s” duty to attack me for living in South Africa. For standing up and speaking out against bigots. You are forgiven and I send you love and peace.
As an after thought, I trust you both are familiar with freedom of speech? It is in both the US and SA constitutions.

I didn’t understand a bit of what you just texted? Drivel!
white-queer-african
WTF with Queerty? I had to remove some ridiculous every day talk before I could post the above comment.
The real name of a co*ker spaniel?
The country name being invaded by the aggressor name?
So much for Free Speech! Is Queerty sponsored by the aggressor? I will no doubt get banned and silenced? NEVER!
cc423
So we can’t say “Ukraine” on this site? That seems super weird if so…
white-queer-african
WTF Queerty? @cc423 it is the ridiculous c*ckrell bit of our spaniel dog. Just tried to post that bit and was told my comment is awaiting moderation. Laughable! Queerty your AI moderating comments are surely f*cked. Get it to recognize troll number one and block “IT’s” hate speech and we will be happy.

…give it up already!
Terrycloth
There’s going to be a few seats taken out of the back of the plane where they can.build a cell to hold these people till landing..with no escape .tape their mouths shut and tie their hands police . can board after landing and take these morons away..tying them to a seat dosent help. Just a thought. .might be worth the loss of a few seats or a row
Harley
Why not place the seat on top of the wing. After a few bird strikes the guys homophobia will subside.
davey14
So if he admitted his homophobia caused him to attack the flight attendants, didn’t just admit to a hate crime? That should add enhanced charges, and a few $’s to the civil suit.
BaltoSteve
An interesting point. I wonder what jurisdiction this falls under? Is it the point of origin, the destination, or, since it was in the air and they can’t tell exactly where it occurred, does it fall under the DOJ and federal courts?
tjack47
Thank goodness he’s a f*ckwit.
Willt123
That has to be the stupidest reason yet. Maybe if he was cute or something. He’s in first class, so obviously he has no class.
TMBisAOK
So basically he’s blaming acting like an asshole on himself being an asshole? Wow!
JTinToronto
I hope he likes prison. I hope he likes being someone’s bitch too.
johncp56
Wow he admitted to a hate crime, I,m homophobic!!! what a tool of a moron, Bet he is on the DL, first-class with no class ass, what if we gays started punching str8 people because they scare us, that would go good LOL
Mack
I think by admitting it he’s hoping to get a white Republican on the jury if it goes to trial. You know “birds of a feather”. DeathSantis is drawing out all the homophobics for the next election.
nitsua74
I can’t find a picture of this dick anywhere. I’d love a face to go along with the personality. He needs to spend a little humility time in jail! What year are we in? Get over yourself, people.
daddytop
Well, did this smuck just give away his little secret?

Hopefully Morgan will get jail time.
And in prison he will undoubtedly discover the delights of being a bottom.
Could not happen to a finer person.
scotty
strap everyone in, cut his seatbelt, open the door at say maybe 34000ft and out he goes. problem solved. just like where eagles dare…broadsword calling danny boy, broadsword calling danny boy, over.

Ron Deathsantis is so happy this happened. After all that’s what he wants for the state he’s turning into a banana republic.
AxelNyden
I hate the word ‘homophobia’—he wasn’t scared; he was an arse hole.

Damn, they didn’t twist tie him to his seat. People can have money and still be white trash. Look at Trump.

….. you nailed that perfectly!!

Christopher Alexander Morgan sounds a hell of a lot like a self loathing closet case who can’t handle her liquor and brings out the true nasty personality. worst kind of drunk … a mean and violent jerk. also did i mention self loathing closet case?
RyanMBecker
They had the Twinkie™ Defense* in the 1970s, and the Gay Panic Defense** on the 1990s. Now we have the the Homophobia Defense. What will homophobes think of next?
* It was used successfully by Dan White to get only five years for the murder of Harvey Milk. Contrary to popular belief, the defense didn’t argue that Twinkies™ caused his insanity, but rather that its overconsumption was a symptom.
** The Gay Panic Defense played prominently in the “Jenny Jones” murder case. A gay man was murdered by his secret crush after a surprise reveal on The Jenny Jones Show. The crush, who is straight, seemed to take the surprise with humor. He later shot the gay man, saying that he panicked after the humiliation. Gay Panic is largely dismissed by legal scholars, and disparaged by gays, but I think there is a psychological basis for it. In fact, it is at the core of why I’m against outing. When turned inward, Gay Panic can cause suicidal ideations. That’s not to say, of course, that I think it’s a good defense. But that’s a discussion for another time…
white-queer-african
It is being reported that the jerk is potentially facing 20 years in jail? Can’t happen to a nicer guy.
ebbourg
Who cares why he acted like an asshole? He did. He’s an adult act like it. I think anyone that disrupts a fight should be banned from flying again.
Invader7
I’d sue the LOSER just to mess with him some more. There NEEDS to be a PERMANENT NO fly ban. And ass twats like this POS needs to be added to it !!!
