Chicago’s Commission on Human Relations on Tuesday condemned a recent bomb threat made to WTTW-Ch. 11 that officials say may be linked to the public television station’s upcoming program “Out & Proud in Chicago,” which examines the history of the city’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

Chicago Police Department officials said they were made aware of the threat Tuesday evening. Police spokeswoman JoAnn Taylor said the threat may have been made in a letter. Officials are investigating the incident, she added.

“It is shameful and disgusting that this is how our LGBT community can be treated in Chicago,” said Dana V. Starks, the commission’s chairman. “While we would like to believe that this kind of homophobia was a thing of the past, unfortunately it continues.”
