Homophobic mayor
invited to cohost Florida radio show

Homophobia and controversy will be served with our daily cup of coffee on Friday when Fort Lauderdale, Fla., mayor Jim Naugle fills in for Russ Morley on popular radio show Mitchell & Morley in the Morning.

A press release from local AM talk-radio station WFTL says it is opening its doors to Naugle, who recently stirred up controversy by proposing automatically self-cleaning restrooms for Fort Lauderdale for the express purpose of deterring men from using them for "homosexual activity." When he announced a press conference to "apologize," he directed his apology to his constituents for not providing a timelier response to the "problem of men having sex in public restrooms."

According to the press release, Naugle refuses to refer to homosexuals as gay because they aren't gay, they're "unhappy."

Naugle, a Democrat, was elected mayor in 1991. (The Advocate)
