http://glaadblog.org/2009/06/01/sacramento-based-radio-hosts-defame-advocate-violence-against-transgender-children/GLAAD is currently working with the Trans Youth Family Allies to respond to a highly defamatory radio broadcast on KRXQ-FM in Sacramento, California on May 28.
In a long tirade on the Rob, Arnie & Dawn in the Morning radio show, heard in Sacramento, California on KRXQ 98.5FM, hosts Rob Williams and Arnie States verbally attacked transgender children when discussing a recent story about a transgender child and her parents' decision to support her transition in Omaha, NE.
The two hosts spent more than 30 minutes making highly derogatory comments about transgender children and promoting child abuse as a so-called "cure" for their gender identity.
