Lawmaker who thinks homosexuality is a threat to children, crashes boat into children

By now this story is a few weeks old, so I apologize to those who have already seen/heard it. You can find a local report of the incident here. Donald Dwyer, a Tea Party Republican down in Maryland, has for years railed against marriage equality as a violation of "God's law" and a danger to school children across the country. On Friday, August 24th, Dwyer was driving his boat down the Magothy river with a friend when he crashed into another boat carrying a few adults and five children. Six people had to be taken to the hospital, including four children. Police reports indicate that Dwyer's blood alcohol level was at 0.2%, more than twice the legal limit.

Thankfully, no serious injuries were sustained and all children have been released at this point. The driver of the other boat reported that as soon as he saw Dwyer's boat coming towards him, he knew the operator must be drunk. The following excerpt from the Baltimore Sun is especially telling:

Police have released 911 tapes from witnesses, who said Dwyer's speedboat -- called The Legislator -- was at "full throttle" just prior to the collision.

I'm actually not sure which is worse: operating your boat drunk and ramming full speed into another boat full of children, or naming your boat "The Legislator"? The more I read about this Dwyer guy, the more I've come to absolutely despise him. Dan Rodricks, a reporter for the Baltimore Sun, had this to say about Dwyer:

He expressed grave concern that, if granted equal status in society, gay men and women would soon be inflicting their "lifestyle choices" on the nation's children. For one thing, they would demand that homosexuality be taught in public schools — as part of biology or sociology classes, I guess — and Dwyer made it sound like some sort of indoctrination process, or gay recruitment. The man was pretty serious about that.

 Here we go again; the good old "lifestyle choice" argument. Let me ask you a question, Mr. Dwyer: Are you also against skateboarding? What about listening to country music (although the case could be made that we all should be)? Those are lifestyle choices. Living in a city as opposed to the countryside, that's a lifestyle choice. Growing up and simply existing as your biological forces compel you to? Not a lifestyle, nor a choice. And then he's worried about homosexuality be taught in school. As if that is a meaningful statement. The Holocaust is taught in school, do we worry that will induce students to attempt genocides of their own? If you are really worried about making sure our students are getting a quality education, why don't you propose a better substance abuse program, so kids don't grow up to become assholes like you who drunk-drive their boat and injure children.
