A response to idiots and bigots

Last week, a transgender woman was disqualified from entering the Miss Universe contest. The reason: she wasn’t viewed as being a “natural woman.”

Thankfully, beauty queen Jenna Talackova has finally been allowed to enter the competition.

This story has been all over the country (and the world), with people pitching in their two cents on everything from blogs to radio shows.

It is in that last category that we enter a wonderful exhibit of idiocy.

Live 105 is a Halifax radio station that is home to a morning show hosted by Jeff and Floyd. Recently, Floyd posted this lovely audio snippet on her Tumblr blog. It is an exchange between her and Jeff reaming out a caller for some rather idiotic statments. Kudos to you two.

Journalist, writer, blogger, producer.
