UPDATE: GLAAD Speaks with KRXQ Management
June 8, 2009 by Andy Marra, Senior Media Strategist @ GLAAD

At 11:45am EST, Cindi Creager, GLAAD's Director of National News, and I spoke with the station manager at KRXQ. GLAAD successfully made the case for a transgender person and a parent of a transgender child to appear on the Rob, Arnie and Dawn show. We are right now in the process of securing Trans Youth Family Allies Executive Director Kim Pearson and Pam's House Blend contributor and transgender advocate Autumn Sandeen for the broadcast.
As yesterday's statement noted, KRXQ will be airing a special show on Thursday, June 11 at 7:30am PST.

I hope this sends a message that hate mongering will no longer be tolerated. I don't believe the show's host and owner has become a friend of trans people but I do believe he feared losing his show and subsequent income. Now he's groveling.
Once again it's been proven, the best place to hit them is in the wallet.

I hope the audio of this will end up on-line somewhere for us non-locals to hear.
