The station invited good-natured and charismatic Sanjaya Malakar to appear at a promotional concert over the weekend, featuring the busty Idol also-ran Katharine McPhee, Fergie, Lily Allen and Hillary Duff-- but when he got onstage, he was blindsided by a bunch of drag queens-- and the song "It's Raining Men"-- apparently in a bid to to turn him into a "gay" joke.
Sanjaya has already been forced to "declare" himself straight in an interview with People magazine. But even if he did happen to be gay, so what? And why make fun of anyone for that reason?
Radio stations are big these days on suspending and firing jocks for offensive behaviour on the air. How about suspending or firing these homophobic clowns? Oh, right. They can't-- because management was obviously in on it.
Lucky for Sanjaya, he's bigger than Seattle.
Complain to KISS 106.1 here. Like Ryan says, do it often.

They had Sanjaya on Kiss 106.1 this morning to talk about this. He said he wasn't ambushed and he really appriciated being invited to the event. He thought it was a big deal over nothing.

KISS is the lamest radio station in Seattle. Their morning show really sucks!

If they did dod this to humiliate this poor,sweet,innocent boy because of his good nature ,shame on them.He says it was all planned and that he knew what he was getting into.I don't think he knew the whole thing.This boy is only 17.I wish his mom would pay more attention to what he agrees to.
