Private websites, like the Huff, have terms of use agreements. When you make the account so that you can post you agree to their terms. If what you say violates their terms, your post will not be published. On a private server, website, station, they can censor anyone they want. And as I said above I do not care if people don't like people that are different then them. I do care when they verbally or physically bash and attack people that are different then themsleves.
A 6th company has just pulled its advertisements. Verizon will no longer run ads on the radio station. http://glaadblog.org/2009/06/05/verizoncarl/ Sonic, Verizon, Carls Jr. Snapple, Cipotle, Bank of America.
5 companies have pulled their ads now. If they had said "i don't like transgendered people." "I do not believe that kids are old enough or mentally competent enough to make a decision concerning their gender identity." "I don't agree with the parents who allow their children to make this step into being transgendered." "in my opinion this is wrong and should stop." If that had been the way they addressed this issue, most of the people that are upset would never have heard about it, never cared. Because you are right people can express their opinions, they should. They did not do this, they called them names, insulted them, used hate speech and defamation. There is a huge difference.
