Hold onto your wigs and grab your nearest emotional support animal, hunties! Delta flight 1689 from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam encountered some *serious* turbulence, giving passengers a rollercoaster ride they didn't sign up for. Twenty-five passengers found themselves unexpectedly yas-ing their way to a Minneapolis hospital with minor injuries. While Delta is keeping the deets on the down low, we're guessing this wasn't the kind of "high-flying" experience anyone had in mind. Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone involved, and we hope they're all sipping on some calming chamomile tea and getting the TLC they deserve. Let this be a reminder to always buckle up, secure your wigs, and manifest smooth skies, besties! We're sending all our love and positive vibes to those affected by this turbulent situation. Hopefully, Delta will be serving up some serious apologies (and maybe some free upgrade coupons) to make up for this unexpected pit stop. In the meantime, we're here to remind everyone that safety always comes first, even if it means delaying your arrival in the land of tulips and windmills. Stay strong, fam! Crystal Electra (she/her), legendary ballroom MC: “Gurl, I’ve faced tougher judges than that turbulence! Hope everyone’s okay and ready to werk it out once they land.” Justin Case (he/him), resident circuit party DJ: “This is why I always prefer my drama on the dance floor, not in the air. Sending healing beats to all the passengers.” Mx. Prada Gucci Balenciaga (they/them), Executive Director of Glitter & Grit Advocacy Group: “This incident underscores the need for airlines to prioritize passenger safety above all else. We hope Delta takes appropriate measures to prevent similar events in the future." Story by Aurora Borealis from LGBTQNN, reporting with pride. Shine bright!
