Is it any surprise that someone with a mental disorder that is associated with bug chasing would do something like this?
Bostian was also involved in a gay marriage protest in 2012, according to this Midtown Gazette story.
Brandon Bostian, a recent transplant to New York, attended the event. Bostian was active in the Proposition 8 fight, which defined marriage as the union of one man and one woman, in San Francisco. While he is still interested in working for marriage equality, Bostian admitted that he is less enthusiastic this time around. Its kind of insulting to have to beg people for my right to marry, he said. I feel like we shouldnt even have to have this fight.
