(Chad Larson)A Northern Virginia radio show that caters to a younger gay audience received threats this week to shut down, or else. E-mails from right wing yahoos hinted at violence if Chad Larson, host of
The Edge Show , did not cancel his program. While the e-mails did not offer a specific threat, they did claim that members of one church organization have "removed homosexuals from places before" and that , "If Mr. Larson won't go quietly, we are ready for a fight." The e-mail did not specify which church the writer claimed to be from.
"The penalty for homosexuality is death. Humans are not allowed to kill," one e-mail stated. "That's why God sent AIDS. When Chad Larson is lying on his death bed from this incurable illness, he will wish he had of turned to us for help."
Larson said the threats are being taken seriously, but the show will go on, each Saturday at 1PM on WEBR in Fairfax.
"I will not go off of the air simply because someone does not like it's content. This is America and in this country we have the right to listen to a radio program, or, turn it off."
The Edge Radio Show features several friends taking a light-hearted look at the news affecting the community while playing the top gay club songs around.

This is what happens when people try to do a good thing for their community. Hopefully the local gay organizations are standing by this show and not letting them fight this crap alone.

I'm sure these 'christians' hate muslims as much as they hate us; i wonder if they realize how much they have in common with the cartoon protesters. Virginia is for haters.

I'm sure someone like the FBI could trace the origin of those treatening emails. It sounded like a death threat to me!! Lambda Legal Def. should definately get involved--i doubt if the virginia police give a shit.

He is courageous, but he is also damn cute. Think he'd go on a date with a 77 year old man with dentures, like myself?

Oh give me a break. You call this a threat? Grow some balls Chad or get out of the business

Are you kidding? How could you not see this as a threat? If being in the business means dealing with death threats then he should get out. But he is a young guy who obviously is trying to do something positive for his community. There are not enough young gay people out there willing to take a stand. I say horrayy to this show and it's young host. This is what I hope the future of gay America looks like.

They did not say they were going to kill the kid. They said that he will get AIDS. There is a big difference between wishing AIDS on someone and going out and killing them. I agree, if you are going to be in the spotlight, learn to deal with this kid. You better grow up quick and quit whinning.

What's wrong with this community? When we justify someone getting death threats as "part of being in the spotlight." What if something did happen to this guy? Would we then say it was part of his job? To the guy who told him to grow up; he has bigger balls than most gay men I've seen to get death threats and keep going. Got to love our community.

Yeah, I'm sure it was "Christian churches" which organized everything against this young man.
How soon should we expect to see a video of his beheading? Or maybe (as in Iraq) "Christian insurgents" will wire a mentally disabled individual to blow himself up at the radio studios...

don't be ridiculous! the so called "Christians" (right wingers) may not hang people, but lie about us, destroy the sense of family by fighting our basic rights and use the power of money and their cohorts judges and other oficials in power to terrorize and destroy people's work, invoking "moral values". There is nothing more immoral than -at this time and place- call AIDS a punishment from God... If that is not religious extremism, how do you call it?

Gary, these homegrown zealots are the American equivalent of the Taliban and Al-Quaeda. They use or threaten violence to advance thier beliefs and they have no respect for the lives of gay, lesbian and transgendered people. I see no difference, do you? Just how Christian do they really think they are when they believe and promote the absurd notion that AIDS is God's vengeance? As for Virginia, well, every red state is a hate state if you ask me.

How old is this twink? He's got some courage to face these crazy people and not back down at such a young age. His website said he is in college so can't be too old. Good for you twinky... stand strong!

Perhaps it's the cynic in me, but I find myself wondering how many people would care about this boy if he weren't as attractive. Granted, the main issue is the fact that we have in this country people who have the exact same mindset as the Taliban, as al-Qaeda, and as the Islamic fundamentalists who are given a free pass because they rub a crucifix vigorously between their legs instead of a Koran. But I think this also exposes some of the superficial facism latent in the gay community, as well.

Well seeing as i've met Char Larson adn know im to be a really really great guy i see no grounds on actually commiting these threats anywhere near him and if i have to i'll be a full time body gaurd to him because someone as funny, sweet, and sexy as him deserves nothing but the respect and acceptance of being allowed to express his views as he does. i personally find the show funny and it tells me about the news, which i dont pay attention to any where else. so i give full 100% support to char larson and "the edge radio show"

I have no idea why people think gay men are shallow, superficial, and sex-obsessed.
Oh, wait. I just read these comments. Now I do.

2/08/2006 5:21 PM
I second that! Why do we have to sexualize EVERYTHING? The first 3 comments about a serious news story center on the appearance of the person involved? It is embarressing. Maybe if we could channel our sexual energy into actually doing something we'd have already defeated the right wing, neo-conservative freaks.

Yeah, pretty amazing. A bunch of insane cracker christers threaten a young gay man and try to silence him, and all some bozos here can say "wow, he's hot."

I've known him for several years, and he is as tough as they come when he needs to be. And if need be I will stand right by his side and fight till the end. Besides I can't let anyone hurt my lil hottie.. hehe

Sorry -- typo in that last comment.
The link in the post itself won't work (spelled Virginia wrong), but the one on the bottom does, so either use that or simply correct the spelling of "Virginia" in the first one and then welcome aboard!

People who want to organize and do something about this kind of insanity, please join my yahoo group - Virginia is for HATERS and let's mobilize the fight!!
You will need a yahoo ID to join, though.

Don't know about the anus, but I'd definatley lick his boy balls! But seriously, hats off to this kid. He's doing a great thing and I will tune in to his show just to show my support. I see there is a link to a webcam on his show's website...I wonder what THAT will show???

The "cute" comments are troubling to me. He's being essentially threatened with death. It should be reported to the police, etc.

I sent a note to Chad via "the Edge" website. He is a very enterprising young man with a lot of courage. He deserves to be supported and I agree with others here who have said ... "we need more like him!"
PS: Note to pigs ... this young man's life was threatened ... and you pig's are talking about rimming him and how cute he is!? ... what fucking a-holes you are!

To the dude who said he's not that hot.... YES HE IS. But that is not the point. The point is that he has put himself out there for the good of his community. I downloaded his podcast. Great stuff. It was roll on the floor funny and it sent a message in a way that I bet 99% of the people who heard it didnt even know they were getting a message! This guy obviously knows what he is doing. I enocourage everyone to check out his website. I think you will find it as interesting as I did. www.edgeshow.com. I contacted him via his "contact form." Let's show this brave young man our support and send him our letters of support. He's getting enough death threats... lets give him posititve things to read instead!

This young queer kid is probably just whining for attention. Homosexuals love the spotlight and that is what this homosexual wants.
The best way to get press is for minorities to play victem. No sympathy here for this media-hungry phony queer.

Right on Ron! Sam, how about you grow some balls and put yourself out there like Chad has? He's a young guy making a difference in his community. What are YOU doing for the community? If you don't know what you are talking about, I suggest you keep your negative comments to yourself.

Play Roulette for free as often as you like, get a feel for the game and how to place you bets.
Free Roulette is a great game with many ways to bet so learn strategy and have fun.
