July 29, 2010- On the July 28 edition of Clear Channel’s nationally syndicated radio program The War Room with Quinn & Rose, host Jim Quinn made defamatory anti-gay comments while discussing a federal case in which a jury ruled that the city of Philadelphia could not bar a Boy Scouts chapter from city-owned property despite the organization’s anti-gay policy.
During the conversation Quinn said: “You don’t send gay men and young boys out together, okay?” Quinn’s co-host Rose Tennent responded: “Most gay men have nothing to do with the young boys. Make sure that you understand that.” But Quinn went on to insist: “But I would give you that pedophilia is far more rampant among the gay community than it is among the straight community.”
The hosts continued to “debate” the topic for nearly three minutes.
