Homophobic radio hosts use gay slurs, throw bisexual musician out

GLAAD just issued a press release about a CBS-owned radio station WFNY 92.3 which invited a local band named A Brief Smile (pictured below) onto their show only to proceed to hurl anti-gay slurs at the band's bisexual bassist. Apparently bassist John Carnes said some not so nice things about The Doghouse hosted by Jeff Vandergrift and Dan Lay who responded by calling him "Fag Number 1" and asked "How many badges of honor do you have in your colon?" Eventually they kicked him out of the studio while telling him his "sexuality makes him a bitch."

Hmm, does that means Carnes' "badged colon" is dorky too?

No one is buying the station's lame excuses and after making repeated phone calls GLAAD finally reached WFNY's Program Director John Mainelli (this was after the receptionist repeatedly hung up on GLAAD telling them to "stop calling"). Mainelli did finally call back, but not to apologize. He defended the homophobia and even called the segment comedy.

Gosh, it sounds hilarious to me. Maybe Wild Hogs sponsors the show?

GLAAD suggests that if you aren't laughing either it might be a good idea to drop the station a line. They can be reached at:
