Mykki Blanco Involved in "the Most Bizarre Form of Homophobia" on Delta Flight from Toronto

While Mykki Blanco brought an excellent show to Toronto last week, the trip to the Great White North ended on a sour note. As Blanco tweeted over the weekend, the artist was involved in an incident on a Delta flight from Toronto to Detroit after a fellow passenger who was "not comfortable" sitting next to Blanco called the police.

During the weekend, Blanco tweeted, "I just took a flight from Toronto to Detroit Michigan and when I woke up the gentlemen sitting next to me had the policed called. He said that he was not comfortable and did not know how @Delta allowed 'someone like me' to board the plane with him and sit next to him."

Blanco then capped off the series of tweets with: "This is the most bizarre form of homophobia I have ever encountered."

Down below, you can see Blanco's string of tweets about the incident.

This is REAL @Delta. Then I was told by a police officer that an FBI report would be made from our "interaction", except I did not interact

I was told I would "go to jail" if I continued to ask questions about why this police officer was giving preferential treatment to this man

I was then told I could file a report myself and give "my side of the story".. but the entire incident itself is fabricated

If the story I shared earlier involving my flight from Toronto to Detroit seems vague it's because it is
