Warren Olney Apologizes For Linking Penn State Sex Scandal With Gay Adoptions | Public radio broadcaster Warren Olney sparked controversy last week when he used the Penn State child sex abuse scandal to raise questions about the foster system and the fitness of gays and lesbians as parents on his popular To The Point radio program. Today, Olney apologized for the segment, saying, “we failed to point out explicitly that pedophilia and homosexuality are not connected, and that led some listeners to think we were buying into an infamous falsehood.” “We respect our listeners, and we want to respond. There is no connection between pedophilia and homosexuality, and we never intended to say or imply there is. But our failure to make that crucial distinction explicit was a serious oversight. We regret it, and we apologize.” Listen to it here. (HT: Scott Wooledge)
