United Airlines fires Catholic flight attendant who criticized LGBT ideology

52-year-old Ruben Sanchez, who expressed his views privately about the LGBTQ agenda, was dismissed from United Airlines after 28 years of service.

Sanchez expressed his views on gay marriage, transsexuals and Pride Month in a private chat with his colleague during a long flight: “You know, as Catholics, we’re not really supposed to be observing Pride. The Church will never believe that men give birth, women have penises or that the Church should bless same-sex marriages because marriage is a sacrament, and it’s not meant for two men or two women or three people or whatever.”

An unidentified witness reported him to the airline on social media X. Sanchez stated that many of the accusations had been fabricated, including claims that he “was expressing transphobic, homophobic, and racist ideas”.

Sanchez’s boss checked all of his social media posts, going back to 2010: “He took it upon himself to comb through and cherry-pick my off-duty posts, which were all subject to scrutiny according to him. By looking at those, supervisor accused me of not having dignity, respect, professionalism, and responsibility on Twitter when I was off-duty (not in uniform and not using any company-issued device). The tweets had nothing to do with my company, their customers, their employees, their vendors. There was no nexus, and there was no discrimination or harassment to any one individual employee that would cause harm or fear in the workplace. My views according to my faith, my political affiliation, and my service as a member of the United States military were not conducive to being an employee of United.”

The company decided to dismiss Sanchez. His trade union, the Association Of Flight Attendants, also refused to help him. Despite all this, he started to raise money to go on trial against United Airlines. He stated: “I’m not interested in vengeance, retaliation, or causing economic harm to either United Airlines or AFA. I am doing this to defend and stand up for myself and for the teachings of the Catholic Church. I am a member of the US military, I defend this nation with my physical life, there is no way I can accept the idea that my Catholic faith is the reason I have lost my livelihood and reputation from my employer.”
