Are most male flight attendants gay

The short answer is, being a flight attendant is the best job out there and gay men are obviously the most intelligent people on the planet. Most days, anyway! Flight attendants get to travel all over the world and get paid for it, jet off to different countries at the drop of a hat, and avoid those awkward holiday dinner conversations with family by blaming our absence on work. For gay men, being a flight attendant is all about identity — or rather, anonymity in this case.

We know that cabin crew lead fun lives, but just how fun is it living as gay cabin crew in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, gay cabin crew in Abu Dhabi or gay cabin crew in Qatar? After graduating from university I wanted to travel the world. Fun, intense and hard work. You get training and qualifications in everything from delivering babies to handcuffing passengers.

The history of the gay men who still make up an unusually large percentage of the flight attendant labor force is not well known. Link to donate to The Museum of Flight.
