Re: Did you see this?
I'm blocked at work.
I was a big fan of Growing Pains and had a crush on Kirk Cameron. I'm assuming it's about the actors from that show by looking at the address on the link.
I saw it elsewhere on the internet last night...I'm glad people are speaking out against him, he's a ridiculous bigot.
My favorite of the Twitter responses so far has been Jesse Tyler Ferguson's: ?The only unnatural thing about me being gay is that I had a crush on Kirk Cameron until about 24 hours ago,?
What did he say???? I can't read the link.
That was my favorite, too.
from the Huffington Post:
Kirk Cameron Tells Piers Morgan Homosexuality Is 'Unnatural,' 'Ultimately Destructive'
80s sitcom star turned religious activist Kirk Cameron is not a fan of homosexuality and he isn't shy about sharing his feelings on the subject.
During a new interview with Piers Morgan the "Growing Pains" heartthrob who transitioned from a "teen-idol-atheist in Hollywood and became a devoted follower of Jesus Christ in the middle of [his] career" explained that he believes homosexuality is "unnatural... I think that it's detrimental, and ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization."
On the issue of marriage equality Cameron remarked, "Marriage was defined by God a long time ago. 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. So do I support the idea of gay marriage? No, I don't."
When asked what he would do if one of his six kids told him, "Dad, bad news, I'm gay," Cameron responded, "I'd sit down and I'd have a heart to heart with them, just like you'd do with your kids."
Morgan shot back, "I'd say, 'That's great, son! As long as you're happy.' What would you say?"
Cameron offered, "I wouldn't say 'That's great, son, as long as you're happy.' There are all sorts of issues we need to wrestle through in our life... Just because you feel one way doesn't mean we should act on everything we feel."
Thanks.
What an idiot. My teenage crush has been crushed.
Touche.
I had to delurk to post this reveal from Blind Gossip about Kirk Cameron picking up dudes in Griffith Park. So yet another self-loathing closet case, it seems.
Oh Mike Seaver. I'm so disappointed.
Hmmm this site is interesting but I'm not sure how much credibility I would give them.
I'm not surprised, but am glad to see people standing up against his ridiculousness.
I loved that quote above.
My favorite response was Josh Charles (who I totally crush on anyway): "I know Growing Pains was only a tv show, but I have to think both Alan Thicke & Joanna Kerns must feel like they failed as parents tonight."
I've been fuming about Cameron for some time. He did a video promo to publicize the anniversary of Origin of Species where some quack wrote a 50 page introduction to add to the book (which was public domain) and spew about Darwin being racist and his connections to Hitler, rebuking the theories and calling Darwin on his "hoaxes" and then passed the book out on college campuses. 50,000 copies with a 'crystal connection to the gospel' handed out free to students at the top 50 colleges around the country.
Because, he wants to get students to read Origin of Species and the opposing, correct view. Because and entire generation is being 'brainwashed by atheistic evolution being taught on college campuses.'

Blair from the facts of life is a religious nutter, too. I'll never forget her post about a little bit of poop in brownies...her blog used to be a fun read, but I haven't checked it out in a long time.
Hi there:
My pants are detrimental, and ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization. Also my best friend is named Boner.
