Gotnews.com has independently identified the engineer at the center of the Amtrak crash that has killed at least seven.
Brandon Bostian is the 32-year-old gay man who lawyered up after a deadly derailment in Philadelphia. The train was reportedly going twice the speed limit.
ABC 6 previously reported that “Brandon Boshan,” not Brandon Bostian, was to blame for the deadly crash. (They have since taken down the link.)
Bostian is a gay activist who previously worked at Target as a cashier before joining Amtrak, according to his LinkedIn.

That's what older gay men who like to act like women call themselves — queens.
More scurrilous BS from scrupulous BS sources: gotnews says:
“Bostian is a gay activist who previously worked at Target as a cashier before joining Amtrak, according to his LinkedIn.”
While ABC news reports:
“According to his LinkedIn profile, Bostian has worked at Amtrak for nearly nine years, the first half of which he spent as a passenger conductor before he became a passenger engineer in December 2010.”
So what makes more sense: Target cashier becomes Amtrak engineer, or Amtrak conductor of 4.5 years becomes engineer?
The idea that the pilot was gay still circulating?
I was pretty sure that was debunked pretty fast, what with his girlfriend and all....
And just because he might be homo and an “activist” doesn’t mean he’s necessarily gunning for disaster.
So he crashed because he’s gay?
*****************************************************
Maybe he was in a hurry to get to the New York “party” scene or didn’t want to be late for a hot date?
The guy is 32.
10 years ago he was 22; big shock that he might have just a MW job.
2 years before I was a submarine engineer (ingenuity, not engines, like this) I was a cashier and a delivery runner. Had been for 6 years. But then, I was also just college-age.
Yes, there is; from the Daily Mail article at your link:
"Bostian is a gay-rights activist who previously lived in San Francisco before moving to New York. In 2012, he was interviewed by the Midtown Gazette, which covers parts of Manhattan, during the campaign for marriage equality. He said: 'It’s kind of insulting to have to beg people for my right to marry. I feel like we shouldn’t even have to have this fight.'
The queer engineer.
No, that article refers to a 2008 crash in California. Coincidentally, that engineer was also gay. See post 315.
“Bostian is a gay-rights activist who previously lived in San Francisco before moving to New York.
What’s with you tag line, you mad at someone?
That’s just ridiculous non-sequitur non-answer.
The same logic would indeed mean his heterosexuality was to blame if he was messing (immorally) with some girl.
“The idea that the pilot was gay still circulating?

I don’t know if the Germanwings pilot was gay, but forensics on his home computer showed he was surfing gay porn sites in the days before he crashed the plane. I guess that doesn’t necessarily mean he was gay any more than the fact that he had a girlfriend mean that he was strictly straight.
Thanks for clearing that up.
I didn’t look at the link to see the date of the article from where the quote was taken.
Pretty careless post, thanks again.
be careful people....we have no idea if he is gay for sure and in any case, it probably is just a moot point....
and IF he is a gay guy, and he was texting we sure as hell had better get the truth from the gummit, but if gay has anything to do with it, we won't...
BREAKING: GotNews IDs Gay Activist Train Engineer Who Caused Amtrak Crash

Thanks, Maggie.
Even this morning tons here were still clinging to the hope, the certainty (as they do with EVERY tragedy), that it was a Moslem conspiracy.
Now since some blog has hit on this engineer (is he really the only one in the cab?) being homo, we’re hearing less about the Moslem connection and that he had to do it deliberately as a homo “activist”.
Pray what will be the next theory for this?
Surely you must realize this is still par for the course on FR. Lots of people want so badly for it to be some left-sided conspiracy. Perfect mirror of the left-wing sites squawking about how it has to be Repub/conserv/white/hetero/Christian guys deliberately doing evil.
Yeah, sometimes when you’re cruising porn, the gay sites just start popping in, too. Or, you look at it out of curiousity - perhaps to “know the enemy”.
Yep absolutely, gay snit over getting dumped by his boyfriend and it cost I believe 45 crew members their lives. Gays cannot serve in the military, period. This has absolutely nothing to do with homophobia but everything to do with life and death: Gays do not take orders as well as straights, I’ve seen it first hand. They get too emotional and can fly off the handle at the drop of a hat. Not all do but enough where it presents a danger. They should be nowhere near anything where lives are at stake, but liberals like community organizer Obama knows better than hundreds of years of military leadership and experience don’t they.
