SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY:
We're shaking our heads over this......
We don't know why and how any self-respecting gay would support anything Clear Channel.
We've missed really good concerts because either the band cut a deal with Clear Channel or the venue was held at a Clear Channel/Live Nation- owned property. Then, we had to start rethinking the bands that were backed by Clear Channel for their tours. What a mess. We DON'T listen to any Clear Channel-owned radio stations...... just letting you readers know.....
Anyway.
How can a LGBT organization like San Francisco Pride take a sponsorship from this company? Clear Channel may come across like they are not homophobic or anti-gay, but they are a wolf in sheep's clothing. Trust.
We crossed Clear Channel off our list way back when: Out of the blue, they blocked Howard Stern one morning from doing his radio show. Dropped him from his contract without a word. Stern got so incensed by that. That's when he really geared up and made his move to satellite radio.
BTW, Howard is very pro-gay, despite how much he loves and features slit on his show.
Via LezGetReal:
San Francisco: Breaking – For the past 15 years openly gay, renowned DJ, radio host, and creator of San Francisco’s longest running global dance radio show “House Nation, who goes by the name St John, has been a feature, honing his iconic talent and superstar ACT at the annual San Francisco LGBT Pride.
But this year something smells a little off. Sources inform us, that the event which would usually pride itself on tradition has succumbed to the demands of one of its corporate sponsors, CLEAR CHANNEL. Clear Chanel (yes the very clear channel, air-wave home to Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck,) and a major SF Pride 2010 sponsor has demanded the banning of ST. John and two other well known GAY Morning DJ’s; all three axed, shunned and rejected despite their years of entrenched relationship with the event.
