A “90210” actress is calling out Southwest Airlines for allegedly discriminating against her gay friends.

In a long letter to the airlines, AnnaLynne McCord wrote that she was left with “an absolutely broken heart” after her close friends, a gay couple and their two daughters were denied family boarding due to the nature of their relationship.

McCord shared her letter on social media alongside a photo of the family, detailing the discriminatory events that allegedly took place.

“A couple of days ago, the young girls in this photo were made to feel just that by individuals who wear your logo and represent your company,” McCord wrote to Southwest.

“It was their first flight ever and they were so excited to join their Daddies on a family trip. Only your employees made it clear that these beautiful little girls and their fathers were not in fact ‘family.’ And when it came time for ‘Family Boarding’ these little girls were shown what has caused the detriment in our world; hate. They were not allowed to board with the other families and had to watch as their fathers were told that they didn't count as family,” she continued.

McCord identified the two men as her “very close friends Jake and Dave” in a comment below her initial post on Instagram. Many fans were supportive of the actress’s heartfelt words, expressing their gratitude that she is standing up for what she believes in.

Others, however, commented that her information regarding the airline policy is inaccurate. “FAMILY BOARDING IS FOR KIDS UNDER 6 years old!!!!!! I was with the ‘traditional family’ and still couldn't do it. You're making something out of nothing. The family involved even said that!!!” one person wrote.

According to the boarding process FAQ on Southwest’s website, “An adult traveling with a child six years old or younger may board during Family Boarding, which occurs after the ‘A’ group has boarded and before the ‘B’ group begins boarding. If the child and the adult are both holding an ‘A’ boarding pass, they should board in their assigned boarding position.”

A spokesperson for the airline told Huffington Post that while they were unaware of any formal complaints related to the incident in question, they “regret any less than positive travel experience” the passengers may have had.
