Just Plain Creepy Story of the Day.

I do not have anything against breast-feeding. After all, some of my best friends have breasts. Nor do I claim to be an expert on the subject.

But I am confident that 22 months is more than enough time to wean a child. Why isn't anyone asking what sort of mother insists on breast-feeding a child who is almost two years old?

Boston Globe: Nursing mother's protest against airline grows

After waiting five hours at the Burlington, Vt., airport, Emily Gillette finally boarded a Delta commuter flight and discreetly began breast-feeding her exhausted toddler. And that's when the trouble started.

"The flight attendant said, 'You are offending me,' " Gillette recalled yesterday in a telephone interview from her home in New Mexico. "I've always breast-fed my daughter when she wants, where she wants."

After she, her husband, and 22-month-old daughter were kicked off the plane last month, Gillette, 27, filed a discrimination complaint with the Vermont Human Rights Commission. As word of the case spread on online mothering forums, outrage boiled.

Today, with the frantic Thanksgiving travel week underway, dozens of self-proclaimed "lactivists" plan to suckle their infants in front of Delta ticketing counters around the nation, including at Logan International Airport.
