Rebecca Schoenkopf contributing over at Wonkette (http://wonkette.com/552521/surprise-christian-radio-host-in-jail-for-trying-to-buy-sex-with-young-boys-whatever-allegedly) sums up this situation quite well, "It almost seems like rightwing Christians think gays are all pedophile child-rapers because rightwing Christians are all pedophiles who want to gay rape children, doesn’t it? Weird."

According to Wzzm13.com, Balyo, who was married in April, was the morning host on WCSG Radio, a Grand Rapids Christian radio station owned by Cornerstone University.
"We are shocked and deeply saddened by the news as you might be as well," reads a press release posted to the radio stations website Friday.
The release states Balyo is "no longer affiliated with WCSG Radio."
Balyo's online bio has since been taken down from the station website, but a cache of it remains online. According to the bio, Balyo graduated from Cornerstone University in 2003 and began working in radio.
"The most important part of my story is how CHRIST found me when I was about 8-years-old as my mom led me down the Romans Road one night," the now defunct bio reads. "I'll never forget how excited I was while trying to evangelize all the neighbor kids! My walk with Him has been - and continues to be - a great journey."
WCSG General Manager Chris Lemke briefly addressed the allegations against Balyo during a Monday morning broadcast.
"We can't make sense of this," Lemke said, according to Mlive.com.
He added, "Did you ever have any doubt Satan was loose?"
