Local News Anchor Tells LGBT Community To Go On 'Gaycation'

Local News Anchor's Ridiculous Message To LGBT Community

A local Mississippi news anchor thinks there are just too many goshdarn LGBT people on the news these days.

WLOX's Dave Elliott aired his ridiculous grievance in a recent Facebook post:

WLOX responded on its Facebook page, saying, "We are not happy at all with the post or any imagined 'free publicity.' Dave made this post initially on his personal Facebook page, and you should look for him to address it on that same page." In the meantime, critics mocked his comments on Twitter, writing:

Gaycation, all I ever wanted http://t.co/Kue9Lk9NnX

Elliott later apologized for what he called his "insensitive and unprofessional Facebook post," GulfLive.com reported Friday. Read his apology here.
