The saga involving gay radio host Seth Dunlap continues…
Just to recap: Dunlap, former host of “The Last Lap With Seth Dunlap” on WWL Radio in New Orleans, is accused of tweeting an antigay slur at himself from his the station’s official Twitter account then demanding $1.8 million from the company.
Every since the story broke in September, Dunlap has maintained his innocence, but forensic evidence found the tweet was sent from an IP address and Apple manufacturing number associated with his iPhone, which he trashed shortly after the tweet was sent, claiming the screen was cracked.
On top of that, investigators also found internet searches on his computer about how to access where Twitter stores IP addresses.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Dunlap has never spoken publicly about the incident. Until now. In a series of tweets posted at 5 o’clock Tuesday morning, he delivered a message to anyone who doesn’t believe his story: “Shame on you.”
“If you believed anything said by a company with billions in assets, unchecked media access, & multiple direct connections to local law enforcement…then shame on you,” he tweeted. “I remained quiet for years for fear of retribution. Retribution came. No longer am I afraid.”

He followed that up with another tweet saying there are “multiple recordings” to support his accusations of “homophobia, racism and misogyny” at WWL.
Multiple recordings have been provided by current and former employees that share the explicit, horrific words and actions of management, past and current. Nearly all are afraid to directly speak out in fear for the safety of their current and/or future employment.

He then went on to say he plans on being more vocal about inequality and encouraged others to “speak up” as well, giving a shout out to GLAAD, Trevor Project, and the HRC for the work they do.
The @glaad, @TrevorProject, and @HRC are just a few of the great organizations working to promote equality that you should support and, if needed, reach out to. My DM’s are also open for anybody who needs an ear or would like to share their story. ????

It should be noted that none of the three organizations Dunlap mentioned have weighed in on this controversy or issued any comment on him. It should also be noted that he has not yet been charged with any crimes.

Hang on there. You just might be on to something. Him, that blogger who claimed he was attacked in WeHo not too long ago and Jussie Smollet would make a perfect and successful reality series for all the wrong reasons. And I’ll bet that series becomes a hit.

Where are all the SJW cowards ? Believe all accusers blah blah blah gee what could possibly go wrong with such a philosophy???

They are in your imagination, as you share that amusing inability to distinguish reality from fantasy with most other regressives.
And here are a few questions for you. Why do so many of your ilk seem to think opinions based on assumptions are as strong as those based on fact? And what exactly is wrong with social justice? Do you prefer people who lack ethics and empathy?
Finally, you may be dull enough not to understand that an IP address is compelling evidence, but most you deem “SJWs” are brighter than that.

Copycat extortion schemes. Why can’t ALL gay people cool their jets. The revolution is coming and gay men will be on top, unless of course you want to be on the bottom!

Memo to all gay conmen or conwomen: do your f’ing homework before attempting to jump into the big leagues with your BS stories. They will crush you.
