A pilot delivered a very personal sermon over the speaker on an American Airlines flight, telling passengers about his struggle with his sexuality and abuse he endured as a young boy.
In the footage the unidentified pilot can be heard telling passengers he was ‘raped and molested as a young boy’ before detailing how his life spiraled out of control as a result of the abuse.
He considered suicide and how he learned to survive by ‘performing’ in front of friends and family.
The pilot then describes how he explored his sexuality, engaging in gay sex despite being married to a woman.
The sermon is brought to an abrupt end as an angry passenger interrupts the pilot, saying they just want to get off the airplane.
It is thought the pilot was not on duty at the time but had asked the crew if he could make an announcement at the end of the flight.
WTF?!! Okay, I think it’s great that he has overcome his struggles… BUT sharing that over the speaker of an airliner getting ready to take off is NOT the time and place to do it. Would you want him flying your damn plane? Nah, brah.
Hear his full speech and feel the awkwardness in the video below.
