CHMR claims diversity: Debate started over 'offensive' song

Article in Memorial University of Newfoundland's student newspaper, the Muse, reporting that Ms. J Dawson, a St. John's resident, complained to CHMR campus radio station about a song she deemed offensive called "I'm In Like A Dyke (Named Spike)" because it "perpetuated the stereotypical lesbian." This was a contentious issue amongst staff and radio station volunteers, and it resulted in an apology being issued to Ms. Dawson.
