My "WTF?" of the day, German co-pilot crashed the plane because he was gay?

Well, that's what this Bible freak Fischer claims...

Bryan Fischer: Co-Pilot's Alleged Homosexuality May Explain German Plane Crash

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Tuesday, 3/31/2015 4:34 pm

On his radio broadcast today, Bryan Fischer seized upon a news report that Andreas Lubitz, the co-pilot who is believed to have deliberately crashed a German flight last week, killing everyone on board, had "trawled gay porn websites and sites relating to suicide" to raise the possibility that Lubitz's alleged homosexuality may have played a role in the crash. As Fischer explained, "it's striking that one of the health risks that's associated with homosexual behavior is an increased risk of suicidal ideation ... Now we are discovering that, perhaps, [Lubitz] was involved in homosexuality, was taking drugs for depression, and perhaps that would explain his suicidal crash of that plane":

i'm sure fischer is oblivious to the notion that maybe it's the bigotry of people like him that drives that correlation....

How insulting.

And being gay is so horrific that it would reasonably explain a mass murder/suicide?

What an asshole.
