RX Radio’s Daniel Omara and Lesham Kenogo have blamed the LGBTQ community for bullying people into accepting their convictions just because they are overly sensitive about them.
They made the remarks after Netflix’s transgender employees in Hollywood Los Angeles staged a walkout protesting against Stand-up Comedian Dave Chappelle’s ‘The Closer’ which they referred to as transphobic.
The employees accused the company of repeatedly releasing content that harms the trans community, particulary The Closer, where they attacked the standup comedian for making jokes about transgender people, especially black women.
In the recent episode that caused uproar, the comedian stated that ‘gender is a biological fact’ and backed Harry Potter’s Creator J.K rowling, who also faced public criticism in 2019, when she said that transgender women are a threat to the identity of naturally born women.

Nevertheless, Lesham in shock said the community is becoming radical rather than liberal, contending that Dave Chapelle’s comedy has always been about everything and everyone equally.
The Fatboy show is hosted by James Onen aka Fatboy and Olive, Sarah, and Lesham every weekday from 6am to 10am on RX Radio.
However, Netflix’s Co-Ceo Ted Sarandos, refused to pull down the comedy series, in a email to the company employees saying that the episode that caused uproar was popular and an expression of freedom of speech adding that the
