public radio international program to the point has a whole spending one on
the you're familiar with him i'm familiar with amount listen to issue
everyday and and he's actually n a bit of trouble because i have a show that he
had um... regarding jerry sandusky during the show yes the question of
whether or not
gay couples should have the ability to either of the foster parents or adopt
kids i'd given the fact that jerry send us the molested all these little boy
it's right
uh... and speak after first of all i'm surprised that he had that show because
what does pedophilia have anything to deal with homosexual exactly zero to
this every time these stories come up
you know the insist the inability a parent is the seventies attentive file
is not
if there is nothing to do with his persuasion is a pedophile as a monster
handedness this has nothing to do with whether gay people should be allowed to
adopt children nothing divisional nalli if you guys that i'm sorry again rapists
you know what if good fun
and rapes a woman does that mean that men and women cannot have children
together it's the same type of argument that that mentioned mentioned just now
be around children yet mentioned the resolution allow men to adopt or be
foster parents at all in any case
because a lot because of all the horrible things that happened on the
planet
this is so stupid and i i can't believe we have this on a show and if you guys
are familiar with warren on his program when usually does is hell have a topic
right and you'll have usually some into the right and some of the left
commenting on it
and you know one of the questions of the astronaut's shadow is
surely reexamine attitudes toward allowing homosexuals access to children
seeing how macho and only actually use that word sandusky wound up wilentz up
defying stereotypes and repent anyway
everywhere like that
so how do you know he had a a package at yet i'd believe gay person on the show
up
well you know yet yes irrigate para from los angeles and they had someone from
the arkansas family council on the show right and you know people who listen to
the program said that he player's name was gary cox
the senate
said that that was the fact that the other than that
and he talked with a bag you know he didn't share a cox too much time
uh... whereas the gay parent didn't have enough of an opportunity to speak during
this interview and finally looked i'm not even having that conversation that
topic shannon even been up for discussion because it plants the seed in
people's minds like
now wait a minute
maybe a couple shouldn't have to go in to adopt which is stupid anyway some
people are upset at this show and warren olney um...
well actually released to apologies the first apology wasn't good enough in for
a lot of people so i want to read that for you guys he said thank you for all
the feedback there seems to be a lot of misunderstanding of today's to the point
we had no intention of confusing the issues of child abuse in same sex
adoption we apologize to anyone who drew that conclusion so was the classic a
lovely offended anyone or if we
confuse anyone
we apologize again so you know you can get that feeling from the well that
wasn't good enough and glad came out
strong against him and and he actually released
another apology which we have for you today so let's listen to that nominal
apologized for something that happened on fridays to the point
we reported that penn state or assistant football coach jerry sandusky was
allowed to care for foster children
even though it's already is new he was suspected of child abuse
with hundreds of thousands of troubled children in need we thought was a good
time to point out that gay and lesbian couples are often prohibited from both
fostering and adopting even though they can provide loving homes
we failed to point out explicitly that pedophilia and homosexuality are not
connected
and that leads some listeners to think we were buying into an infamous
falsehood
over the weekend we received a lot of critical comments from people who
thought that by discussing both topics in one show we head equated the two
we respect your listeners and we want to respond
there is no connection between pedophilia and homosexuality and we
never intended to say or imply that they're is
but our failure to make that crucial distinction explicit
was a serious oversight
we will get it
and we apologize
now that's an apology that is in
major apology and uh... you know is sometimes used here
one told me is that they said the show to the point forever and he
he's really good
uh... the he didn't give equal time is what happened this time and he had
somebody who was sort of a monster talking about the gold standard of
parenting and raising a child is with us and a family with a mother and father
and perhaps ideally that
great way to raise a child and that's how i was raised but
on by i don't see at all how
they can
take
this as being anything that warn only himself said
uh... his apology exp sponsors like the best apologies and
