WFMJ TV in Youngstown, Ohio, confirmed through a Facebook post last week that the station’s Community Relations Director, Madonna Chism Pinkard, was fired over a Facebook post advocating for “Straight Pride” during June’s Pride Month, according to news outlet Mahoning Matters.
According to Mahoning Matters, Pinkard made the post under her personal Facebook page, where she goes by “Madonna Jean, where her profile picture includes the WFMJ logo, and she identifies herself as the station’s Community Relations Director.
“The post that has since been taken down showed a meme with a newlywed man and woman that stated, “Celebrate Straight Pride,” “It’s Natural, It Has Worked for Thousands of Years,” “And You Can Make Babies!”
Mahoning Matters reports that Pinkard quickly took the post down, apologizing for offending viewers and stating that she had removed it.
On June 6, not long after Pinkard removed her post, WFMJ took to Facebook, stating: “Dear WFMJ Viewers, Early this morning, WFMJ management was made aware of an unauthorized social media post by a WFMJ employee. That post has since been removed. WFMJ is conducting an investigation into the unauthorized post. We are concerned by this incident and are moving forward with a thorough investigation.”

Let the station know that you won’t watch their shows anymore.
so much for the tolerance of the intolerant leftists.
OK. But they might find that hard to. believe when they find out I live in New York.
There’s a descrimination lawsuit.
Sounds like grounds for a juicy lawsuit
The station fired her because she is black!
She sure us.
Jiggle the handle after you flush this third-world Commie cesspool down the toilet.
Whoa!
globohomo Trumps Black.
Oops. That was supposed to say, She sure is. 😋
During the 1990s our group “Normal People” fought to march in the Gay Pride Parade the same way they fought to march in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade.
“...serving our entire community with the respect we believe all people deserve.”
Except straight people, obviously.
God is going to kill them and probably us to for not coming together to stop this evil.
And I hope she sues the station for everything they have.
(“Celebrate Straight Pride,” “It’s Natural, It Has Worked for Thousands of Years,” “And You Can Make Babies!”)
That’s the fact, Jack.

Matthew 10:26-28
26 “Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.
27 What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops.
28 Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
