Too much emphasis on gay & lesbian issues
I believe I experienced an epiphany this weekend. I was listening to the Sunday edition of the NPR News program (approx. 9:30 AM) awaiting the Prairie Home Companion program and I noticed the (student ??) announcer give a Public Service Advisory (PSA), This included only these two announcements: A Democratic rally of some sort & a Gay and Lesbian meeting.
This incident along with some comments my children have made regarding WMUB / NPR = there is a lot of Gay & Lesbian issues addressed on your station / NPR and I tend to agree with them now that I think of it, and the PSA on Sunday really brought it home.
Have you received comments from others regarding this sort of thing ? I know as a long time supporter of WMUB, I certainly do not care for it nor do I appreciate my children being subjected to it. I would always turn the radio off during those times my children would comment on it, but I don’t feel I should have needed to. I would hope that WMUB / NPR is attempting to persuade listeners that this is an acceptable way of life or endeavor to bring the issue into mainstream society. I ask that you earnestly consider this comment and look @ past broadcasts and provide an informed response.
I await your response, and would appreciate notification when/if the comment will be aired. My purpose is not to specifically air the comment but to bring the issue to light.
