Rainbow mask doesn't fly for gay Lufthansa passenger
On his flight out of Los Angeles International Airport earlier this month for a 46th birthday vacation in Greece, gay West Hollywood resident Scott Schmidt donned a rainbow-colored surgical mask in order to adhere to the COVID-19 guidelines imposed by his carrier, Lufthansa. Photos from the trip that he posted to his Facebook account show Schmidt seated on his July 16 flight next to his fiancé wearing the face covering in the colors of the international symbol for the LGBTQ community.
