Not buying it. The Amtrak funding cuts articles would have come fast and furious as it was, and we don’t at this point know what effect a strike on the train—as apparently there were on two other trains in the same area in the same week—could have had in this case.
We just don’t know enough. But there’s no reason to expect that the guy being gay had anything to do with the crash and there’s no indication that it is relevant to the story at all.
Crazy always has bearing on the issue.
