According to conservative radio host Sandy Rios, Amtrak engineer Brandon Bostians sexual orientation was a factor in Tuesday's train derailment that killed eight people and injured more than 200. Right-wing news sites have hastened to point out that Bostian, who campaigned against Californias ban on same-sex marriage, appears to be gay.
I am not inferring to [sic] those of you who are gay rights activists and who like to monitor this show, Im not inferring that this accident happened because he was gay, said Rios, who hosts Sandy Rios In The Morning on American Family Radio. But I do think its an interesting part of the story, and I bet it will be edited out.
I dont know," she added, "but I think it is something to be discussed and I think its a factor and I doubt you will hear it anywhere else.
