Passengers kicked off bus for talking about bisexuality

Three young adults in Spokane were kicked off a bus when the driver overheard them talking about bisexuality.

The passengers, all trans people, were asked to leave the bus a mile from their stop because the driver said their conversation was inappropriate. One of the passengers had said out loud that she’s bisexual and they had talked about living with gay roommates.

When they asked for the driver’s information, the driver would only give them the bus number. The STA has received three separate complaints about the incident.

Hey, freedom of speech, how are ya? This is absurd.
