Rob, Arnie & Dawn
KRXQ’s anti-trans radio show featuring Rob, Arnie and Dawn has apologized, put up a statement of contrition on their home page and stopped broadcasting their show until further notice! After a broadcast in which hosts Rob and Arnie went on an extended rant against trans and gender-non-conforming children, the GLBT community and beyond rose up in disgust, resulting in the withdrawal of many major sponsors from the program. Initially unrepentant for describing how they would shout at, mock at “hit with a shoe” any son of theirs who dared to wear a dress or want to be a girl, they became deeply sorry once the money and sponsors began to dry up.
