OP-ED: THE AMTRAK ACCINT ISN'T PART OF THE GAY AGENDA

Bostian, an openly gay tra engeer who was volved a adly Amtrak tra railment Philalphia five years ago, ntu his qut to avoid a crimal trial. He told me about how he had moved om his llege town Missouri to the great gay mec that is San Francis, and we bond over a shared sentiment about how, sometim, big ci like San Francis are jt a ltle too much.

Bostian's lawyer has said his client had no health issu and was takg no Thursday eveng, Johnson was sharg articl on his se that claimed to show Bostian's "dick pics, " along wh homophobic tweets bearg msag like "Given that Bostian is a flamg homosexual, perhaps prison isn't the bt remedy for his negligence killg 8 people. "Fox News ntributor Sandy Rs offered the same kd of gay-agenda nspiracy theory on her rad show Thursday on the antigay Amerin Fay Associatn's channel. " Of urse, she prefaced that statement by sayg she wasn't blamg Bostian's sexualy for the crash, but went on to speculate that perhaps he, like Rs believ all gay people are, was "gog through some nfn that has to do wh the very re of who they are.

"It seems like this should go whout sayg, but whatever ed the railment -- even if the Natnal Transportatn Safety Board l was solely Bostian's flt -- his homosexualy didn't have anythg to do wh . And sometim they happen to gay people. The fact that Bostian was an out gay man and an equally outspoken supporter of marriage equaly -- as I personally wnsed -- don't mean that the Amtrak tra's railment was an act of gay terrorism.

DID OPENLY GAY AMTRAK ENGEER DELIBERATELY CRASH TRA?

Bostian isn't even the first gay engeer to be helmg a tra that went off the rails wh fatal nsequenc. The nductor of a Metrolk tra that llid head-on wh a eight tra California 2008 was gay. In a much more important and relevant tail, he was also textg moments before the tra crashed, killg 25 even that wasn't part of the "radil homosexual agenda.

Perhaps we n let the loved on of those eight people killed when Amtrak tra 188 railed this week mourn their iends and fay whout terjectg the addnal pa of homophobic, fear-mongerg nspiracy theori. 2017 marks 50 years sce the crimalisatn of male homosexualy England and Wal.
