Two transgender advocates will be part of an on-air apology Thursday by a Sacramento radio team that has upset lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender advocates.
Transgender advocates Kim Pearson and Autumn Sandeen will appear on KRXQ's "Rob, Arnie & Dawn" show Thursday morning to "further educate the hosts," according to a news release from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. The trio's morning show is off the air because of remarks made during a broadcast but will return at 7:30 a.m. Thursday.
"KRXQ appears to be taking this matter very seriously following widespread response from community members and advertisers," said Rashad Robinson, spokesman for GLAAD.
GLAAD first contacted KRXQ after a listener complained about remarks made by co-hosts Rob Williams and Arnie States in a May 28 broadcast.
