No, I'm not exaggerating. As reported by Towleroad, a Cleveland radio personality--Dominic Dieter of WMMS 100.7's show Rover's Morning Glory--told the father of a possibly lesbian girl to have his daughter raped by a man until she's straight.
The comment came after he received an e-mail from a father who had found his teenage daughter kissing another girl. Dieter decided to dispense his advice: Have one of your friends "screw" her. That's right. According to Dieter, the father should get one of his grown adult friends to "screw" his teenage daughter because she kissed a girl.
According to the incident reports (and later confirmed to us by an executive for Clear Channel, the station's parent company), the anti-gay remark was made by Dominic Dieter, one of the "Rover's Morning Glory" cast members. Responding to an e-mail from a father who (for reasons unknown) wrote to the station to say that he'd happened upon his teenage daughter kissing another girl. Deiter responded to the father, on-air, by saying:Follow me below the fold."You should get one of your friends to screw your daughter straight."
This is not okay. Not on any level, and not in any context. We trust that the majority of fair-minded Americans will agree. Make no mistake, if this young woman is, in fact, gay - or if she's simply not interested in having sex with any of her father's friends, then what Dieter is suggesting is rape.
