Homophobia on wheels.

Last week, a bus agency made a formal apology to two girls in Portland who were kicked off of a bus for kissing.
Apparently a passenger complained about the girls, and shortly thereafter the bus driver stopped at the side of the road and forced them off the bus, calling them “sickos.�
The 64 year-old driver will face disciplinary action – which is unknown of what extent that will be – for breaking several agency policies, particularly removing minors from the bus without calling for assistance (potentially endangering them). Oh, and also for being a total homophobic prick.
The parents of the girls have yet to decide if they will file a lawsuit. I wouldn’t blame them if they do, because it seems like the driver’s discipline is going to be minimal.
The fact that another passenger sparked the action makes it all the more infuriating. “Sickos� indeed.
