I don't know if you guys know about the ridiculous bullshit that went on during a radio program called the Rob, Arnie and Dawn Show recently, but ciel_vert has it all summed up, so I'm going to steal her words because I'm too angry to write anything very coherent myself:
The long in short: right-wing, "shock jock" radio hosts, Rob and Arnie of KRXQ in Sacremento, unleashed a half hour long rant demonizing transgender/gender questioning children, even going so far as to condone and proudly justify violence against them. They were not reprimanded. They were not fired. They offered a "sort of" apology after pressure from GLAAD, which basically amounted to being sorry that people didn't get their "joke", but won't apologize for their "opinions" or what they actually said. They believe there is nothing wrong with what they said.
This isn't okay, guys. And if you want to do something about it, read over wook77's posts here and here, and then use the information wook77's gathered to e-mail the businesses that advertise on that show.
