http://gayrights.change.org/blog/view/does_clear_channel_believe_gay_people_are_as_bad_as_murderersDawson McAllister is a radio host who takes to the airwaves each week to dispense advice to millions of American young adults. It's a show mixed with advice, counseling, and pop music, drawing a large audience and being carried by more than 160 radio stations around the country, including many Clear Channel stations.
But does Dawson McAllister and his team of "helpline" counselors urge lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender young adults to try and cure themselves of their sexual orientation or gender identity?
It sure seems so, at least according to an investigation conducted by Greg Kimball at
KnowThyNeighbor.org. Kimball was listening to McAllister's radio program this past week in Boston (where it runs on Clear Channel-operated Kiss 108). On a whim he decided to call the helpline, wondering how the spiritual counselors behind McAllister's radio program might react to a teenager questioning their sexuality. What did he find out?
