New Hampshire radio host apologizes for anti-gay remarks, loses job

In a follow-up to a Radio-Info report on Sunday, Gilford, New Hampshire’s WEMJ-AM (1490) weekend talk show host Doug Lambert formally apologized for the anti-gay remarks he made against the state Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley. Lambert wrote a statement on his website, saying, “what I said is something that never should have been said in any kind of a public setting … My remarks were not helpful to protecting the rights and the freedoms I fight for every day.” Following his comments, Lambert’s “Meet the New Press” show on WEMJ was canceled, and the state’s Republican party condemned Lambert’s comments, calling them “completely inappropriate, offensive and hurtful.” As previously reported by Radio-Info.com, Lambert’s comments were not made on the radio station, but came after the show on a webcam which was still feeding a video stream.
