My head is about to explode.
I just saw this video in which a radio talk show host, Sandy Rios, suggested that a train engineer’s sexual orientation might have contributed to that terrible derailment near Philadelphia, killing eight people.

As the Huffington Post noted, Rios said she isn’t blaming the crash on Brandon Bostian’s sexuality, but then she did exactly that.
What in the name of all that is holy is going on here?
Bostian reportedly is a gay rights activist. He has campaigned against laws banning gay marriage, according to Rios.
Here’s part of what she said on her American Family Radio show, “Sandy Rios in the Morning”: “I am not inferring to [sic] those of you who are gay rights activists and who like to monitor this show, I’m not inferring that this accident happened because he was gay. But I do think it’s an interesting part of the story, and I bet it will be edited out.”
“I don’t know,” she added, “but I think it is something to be discussed and I think it’s a factor and I doubt you will hear it anywhere else.”
Yeah, probably because it’s pure idiocy.
