Sign GLAAD Petition
Spanking TV Has-Been Kirk Cameron
for Anti-Gay Remarks
Posted March 4th, 2012 by Wayne Besen
Growing Pains has-been Kirk Cameron is a religious fanatic. One can
tell his degree of zealotry by witnessing the glazed over look in his
eyes, which sends the clear message: "I've stopped thinking for myself
a long time ago and now sound like a cult member."
On CNN's "Piers Morgan Tonight," the anti-gay actor trashed LGBT
Americans. According to a GLAAD petition:
Cameron described his personal bias against gay people by saying:
"I think that it's – it's – it's unnatural. I think that it's – it's
detrimental, and ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations
of civilization."
"In this interview, Kirk Cameron sounds even more dated than his
1980s TV character," said Herndon Graddick, Senior Director of
Programs at GLAAD. "Cameron is out of step with a growing majority of
Americans, particularly people of faith who believe that their gay and
lesbian brothers and sisters should be loved and accepted based on
their character and not condemned because of their sexual
orientation."
Piers Morgan disagreed with Cameron when asked what he would do if
one of his kids came out. Morgan said: "If one of my sons [came out],
I'd say 'that's great son, as long as you're happy.'"
Best known for his role as Mike Seaver on the 1980s television
series "Growing Pains", Cameron also spoke out against marriage
equality in the interview:
"Marriage is almost as old as dirt, and it was defined in the garden
between Adam and Eve. One man, one woman for life till death do you
part. So I would never attempt to try to redefine marriage. And I
don't think anyone else should either," explains Cameron. "So do I
support the idea of gay marriage? No, I don't."
Herndon Graddick of GLAAD responded:
"With an increasing number of states recognizing marriage equality,
Americans are seeing that marriage is about committed couples who want
to make a lifelong promise to take care of and be responsible for each
other and that gay and lesbian couples need equal security and legal
protections. That's not 'redefining' anything," said Graddick.
Truth Wins Out would be all over this, primarily because we simply
don't like Cameron because he comes across as an arrogant, bigoted,
brainwashed zombie. However, GLAAD beat us to the punch on this one —
so please sign their petition, "Tell Kirk Cameron It's Time to Finally
Grow Up."
