Toledo radio host at the center of LGBT controversy.
Here's a petition looking to get him fired. Ridiculous when you consider it was probably their marketing department that came up with this and had nothing to do with him.
This looks like it has the sort of traction to become a national story. I just became aware of it via an openly gay FB friend.
At first I didn't understand the condemnation by the LGBT community. I mean, there's nothing on the surface that's offensive. Sure, someone could argue that using Caitlyn Jenner's transition as a joke is wrong, but is it really? Don't straight white men, in particular, get mocked for their...well, everything...in every form of media on a daily basis? Don't we need to laugh at things to fully accept them? (That's a whole other issue though.)
I realized it's offensive when I read that Schaffer is a born again Christian who is very outspoken against LGBT folks and their rights. Now the outrage makes sense to me. Yeah, you can't bash a lifestyle, then use it to advertise for your show.
This would be like Donald Sterling putting on black face in ads for the Clippers.

That's the kicker. Perez Hilton wouldn't be catching this much flak.

Unless they photoshopped that shit, he was quite aware of this. Some bell in his head needed to start ringing.

I figured it was photoshopped. In fact, I'm pretty sure it is looking at that picture.Malcolm wrote:Unless they photoshopped that shit, he was quite aware of this.

He probably did need to sign off on it, but I doubt any bells would go off in his head.
