In Spokane, WA: 3 Transgender Youths Kicked off a Bus


I was just there, well at the Spokane airport, at least. 3 transgender people were kicked off a bus for talking about LGBT issues.

The group, two twentysomethings and a 16-year-old, say they sat in front of the bus because they've known things to get hostile with other passengers in the back of the bus. Their initial discussion concerned one of their apartments filling with gay people. As the bus turned quiet just at that point, Jessica Jahn, one of the LGBT people, turned to the rest of the bus and said, “In case you haven’t noticed, this is the queer corner of the bus.”

The three say they then spoke quietly about one of them being bisexual. The driver allegedly told them their conversation was inappropriate. When they accused her of being discriminatory, they say she kicked them off the bus a mile from their intended stop.
This is outrageous! I was an hour away from this mess and didn't hear about this! The driver should be suspended.

There's some missing pieces to the story. So I'm trying to be fair; but if the driver is completely at fault, then fire him
