A radio station called one of its employees a 'fag' on Twitter

A radio station called one of its hosts a “faggot” on its official Twitter account.

Seth Dunlap hosts The Last Lap, a sports show on WWL Radio in New Orleans.

Last week, he wrote a post on Facebook about New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees that got some attention. Dunlap called out Brees for doing a video with the anti-LGBTQ group Focus on the Family.

“I’m asking for reflection on how your words and your seeming-embrace of an odious, bigoted organization can cause a vulnerable and constantly-attacked community to recoil,” he wrote. “If I can offer unsolicited advice; take the time to directly distance yourself from these hateful people.”

That didn’t sit well with someone at WWL, apparently. After he posted his open letter, someone with access to the station’s Twitter account called him a “fag.”

Seriously, as long as Brees associates with those scumbags, I will not be a Saints fan. Initech Sep 2019 #2

Not that I ever was one, but if you associate with groups like Focus On The Family, you may as well associate with the Taliban.
