SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Bank of America, Verizon, Chipotle and other companies have pulled advertising from a Sacramento radio station after talk show hosts referred to transgender people as "freaks" with mental disorders.
During a May 28 show, one of the three hosts on KRXQ's "Rob, Arnie & Dawn" show said he would hit his son with his shoe if he put on high heels. Another said he would tell a boy he was "a little idiot" if he asked to wear a dress.

I'm surprised that Faux News hasn't had a report that says that the GLBT agenda is trampling over their first amendment rights...
Of course they are welcome to start their own radio station/TV/webcast/mimeograph and publish anything they choose.
However, nothing in the Bill of Rights says anything that they have to get paid for it.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE if there is a Goddess let this truly show hateful people that the world is really changing and their statements are not appreciated. And that they should fear for their paychecks, but we should not fear for our LIVES!

During a follow-up show Wednesday, States said he never advocated abuse. He said his comments were meant only as a joke and that he didn't do anything wrong, according to a report in The Sacramento Bee.
"If my son, God forbid, if my son put on a pair of high heels, I would probably hit him with one of my shoes. I would throw a shoe at him," States said on the air.
Williams suggested transgender people suffered from a mental disorder.
"They are freaks. They are abnormal," he said. "Not because they're girls trapped in boys bodies, but because they have a mental disorder that needs to be somehow gotten out of them."
Naw! He didn't do anything wrong! It was all a joke and those offended just have no sense of humor. ???
Meanwhile, the phobes who absorbed this hate-mongering have their phobia fire fueled. I wonder how many kids, as well as adults, "took a hit" from this? :'(
