Fox News apologises for transgender comments

PinkNews.co.uk – By Rachel Charman

Fox News came under fire last week due to comments made by America’s Newsroom host Gregg Jarrett regarding a transgender contestant on America’s Top Model.

On 14th August, Gregg Jarrett and US Weekly editor-at-Large Ian Drew discussed the transgender contestant, Isis.

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) claimed that the terminology and tone of the discussion were offensive to transgender people, calling the programme “crude and obnoxious”.
