Hailey, 40, tweeted that a flight attendant had told her that Southwest "was a" family "airline and kissing was not OK," and that she and her company was then "escorted off the plane to get upset about the issue."
"SouthwestAir support homophobic employees," she twittered. "Then when the show love to someone you love illegal? I want to know what Southwest Airlines considers a" family. "
She went on to tweet: "Boycott SouthwestAir if you're gay they do not like us .."
Hailey, who played on the Showtime Network "The L Word" as Alice, a bisexual magazine writer and radio host, also demanded a public apology.
The airline issued a statement saying initial reports received concerning the incident "indicates that we have received several passenger complaints that characterize behavior as excessive."
"Our crew, responsible for the comfort of all customers on board, approached the passenger based solely on behavior and not gender," the airline said. "The conversation escalated to a level that better decisions were on the ground, as opposed to on the fly."
The statement ended: "We regret any case where a passenger does not have a positive experience in the southwest and we are ready to work directly with passengers involved to offer our sincere apologies to fall from their expectations."
An airline spokesman declined to comment beyond the prepared statement.
The incident comes just over three weeks after another celebrity, Green Day rocker Billie Joe Armstrong, was complaining he booted from a Southwest flight to Oakland, Calif., because he was wearing his baggy pants too low.
