GLAAD Update on Today's KRXQ Broadcast
June 11, 2009 by Andy Marra, Senior Media Strategist @ GLAAD
http://glaadblog.org/2009/06/11/glaad-update-on-todays-krxq-broadcast/Since June 1st, GLAAD has been actively mobilizing its supporters to take action against a highly offensive segment of the "Rob, Arnie and Dawn in the Morning" show, which aired on May 28th. For the past 10 days we have been working collaboratively with like minded organizations and community members on this issue. You can about this joint effort here.
Today, the "Rob, Arnie and Dawn in the Morning" show returned to airwaves with a special broadcast that included two transgender advocates. I was updating my Twitter feed live throughout the entire show.
After the broadcast, GLAAD released a statement on the show, which you can find here.
In our statement, we include quotes from Pam's House Blend contributor and transgender advocate Autumn Sandeen and Trans Youth Familiy Allies Executive Director Kim Pearson who were featured on the 2.5 hour radio broadcast, without any commercial breaks.
