New Orleans radio host Seth Dunlap takes leave after station calls him gay slur

Seth Dunlap

New Orleans sports radio host Seth Dunlap announced on Twitter Thursday that he would be taking a leave of absence from hosting his show on WWL in the wake of a controversy.

Dunlap hosts a sports show called “The Last Lap” on WWL in New Orleans and is also the host for the Saints’ pregame radio show. He published an article after the Saints’ “Monday Night Football” win over the Houston Texans about his five biggest overreactions to the game. The following day he promoted his article and asked which of the “overreactions” wasn’t actually an overreaction.

WWL, the station where he hosts his show, responded to his question about overreactions and said “that you’re a f–.”

Dunlap is openly gay. He received attention for an open letter he recently wrote to Drew Brees regarding the quarterback’s support of Focus on the Family, a religious group that has many anti-gay views.

The same day that the station sent the tweet with the gay slur, WWL sent a follow-up tweet to address it.

Two days after the station’s response, Dunlap shared on Twitter that he was taking a leave of absence. He provided his reasoning, saying he was making a “deeply personal” decision.
