Virgin Australia Has Denied Speculation It Faked A Hate Email To Promo Its Pride Flights

Virgin Australia Virgin Pride
Virgin Australia has strenuously denied speculation on Twitter that it faked a hate email for social clout. Instead, the airline maintains the email was genuine and was only shared to “shine a light on intolerant conduct”. Virgin Australia shared a contentious screenshot on Twitter on Thursday morning that raised some eyebrows. In the Tweet, the airline promoted its Pride Flight services — flights to Sydney for WorldPride celebrations on 24 February— by mocking a hateful email it had received about its public support for the LGBTQIA+ community. Virgin Australia captioned the screenshot of the email: “Thank you for the feedback, Karen. ICYMI, Pride Flight is on sale now”. It then linked out to tickets to Virgin’s Pride Flight. virgin australia pride tweet hate email

“The decision to post online disrespectful and hateful email communications about our Pride Flights was an error of judgement by our team,” a spokesman told PEDESTRIAN.TV.

“Whilst the intention was to shine a light on this intolerant conduct, the reality was that it was an inappropriate thing to do.”
