Not in Our Town: Pittsburgh LGBTQIA + Commission Statement on Anti-Trans Radio Ads

Statement from the City of Pittsburgh LGBTQIA+ Commission regarding the bigoted anti-transgender radio advertisement airing on certain local
radio stations: Not in Our Town.

Disclosure: I am a member of this Commission and currently serve as a co-chair. I also helped to draft this statement. I am available for comment. ~ Sue

At least five Pittsburgh area radio stations — by choice — are airing a vicious anti-transgender
ad produced and paid for by Stephen Miller’s America First Legal Foundation.

At the release time of this statement, the ad was being aired by KDKA 1020, WISH 99.7,
WDVE 102.5, X 105.9, and WDSY 108. Other stations that were airing the ad have stopped,
apparently because of community outcry. Radio stations that profit in this manner are not good
citizens in a city and region that strives to respect diversity and be a safe place for all persons.
