The Christian Post: "Kirk Cameron Says Homosexuality Is 'Unnatural,' 'Destructive'"

[James]

I agree.

[retrofan05]

Oh, yes. When I think about the love between two people, my first thought is how "destructive" and "unnatural" their feelings are.

Agree or disagree, it was brave for Kirk Cameron to voice his opinion on the subject. Piers Morgan also agrees...

Bullsh**. Don't make me sick, the idea that it's somehow brave for a known wingnut crank to make homophobic remarks. Was it brave for the sun to rise this morning?

If he had said something counter to the mentality that boos gay soldiers during republican primary debates or that no kid deserves to be bullied for being gay...you know, something recognizably human?...that would have been brave. For him....

But this? Again what he said is as predictable of dirt but calling it brave? PLEASE. Chile, get me a bucket....

A brave man comes home...


This is the image that will be remembered in history long after history has shamed fools like Kirk Cameron

[AKA]

I disagree vehemently with what Kirk Cameron said, and am saddened that anyone would use a national platform to espouse such hatred, but he does have every right to voice his opinion.

I also disagree with GLAAD "monitoring" Mr. Cameron's bookings and speaking appearances. I hope I'm wrong, but it seems like they're becoming the next PETA, a group that will do anything to terrorize and demonize those who don't agree with their views.

At the end of the day, Kirk Cameron is preaching to "the choir," is converting nobody, and is doing a better job of making himself look and sound foolish than you or I ever could. If you don't believe me, watch him with Ray Comfort on Way of the Master sometime.

Hey Kirk,
Judge not lest ye be judged.
Matthew 7:1

The only downside to freedom of speech is that you're allowed to say all the hurtful, damaging and offensive remarks you please, which Kirk has certainly done.

Kirk's comments make me more sad than angry. Because the very stuff he is saying, that gays are unnatural and detrimental to society, is the kind of hate speech that is causing the suicide rate of gay teens to increase like it never has before. To me, that is much more detrimental to society than being morally opposed to people just trying to live their lives with the ones they love.

Even more disturbing, I think, was Kirk's response to Morgan if one of his children ended up being gay. For their own personal sanity, I hope all 6 of those kids turn out to be straight because the emotional torture under Cameron they will go through if they're not is truly a scary thought.

Many celebs, including two of Kirk's 'Growing Pains' co-stars have been putting up some great tweets in response to his interesting remarks. These are great...

ALAN THICKE: "I'm getting him some new books. The Old Testament simply can't be expected to explain everything. I love Kirk but I'm going to have to give him a spanking...and not in a gay way."

TRACEY GOLD: "I am a strong supporter of the #LGBT Community, and I believe in equal rights for all. #NOH8 #LOVE"

CHRISTOPHER RICE: "Kirk Cameron says marriage was defined by God in the Garden of Eden. No response from Cameron on why the world isn't full of talking snakes."

ROSEANNE BARR: "Kirk or Kurt or whatever Cameron is an accomplice to murder with his hate speech. so is Rick Warren. Their peers r killing gays in Uganda."

CRAIG FERGUSON: "Rush makes me ashamed to be a middleaged white man and Kirk Cameron makes me ashamed to be a failed actor. We don't all think like that NoH8."

MATT DOYLE: "Sad shame about Kirk Cameron. Takes some serious fear and insecurity to make hateful comments about things that have nothing to do with you."

BILLY EICHNER: "So great to hear what Kirk Cameron thinks about gay people. Anybody know where Tina Yothers stands on the death penalty?"

JOSH CHARLES: "I know Growing Pains was only a TV show, but I have to think both Alan Thicke & Joanna Kerns must feel they failed as parents tonight."

SARAH COLONNA: "Wish I could go to the 80s & un-buy that Kirk Cameron poster. Loving God but spreading hate has never made sense to me."

JORDAN KNIGHT: "Ted Haggard vehemently opposed gays as well. Wonder why? He couldn’t accept himself ... in my opinion. #justsayin"

DEBRA MESSING: "I want to thank Piers Morgan for his response to what he wud say to HIS child if (s)he came out: "Great, as long as you’re happy."

NICK STADLER: "Amazing how many idiots feel empowered by Kirk Cameron. It'll be even better after he's caught sucking [expletive] in a public toilet."

ZACH BRAFF: "If Kirk Cameron hates gay people, why was he best friends with Boner?"

TONY TRIPOLI: "I now blame Kirk Cameron for poor Tracy Gold's eating issues. He's made ME want to puke all day, too."

MARTHA PLIMPTON: "The word 'Equality' shows up too much in our founding documents for anyone to pretend it's not the American way. #usethe19th #equalitynow"

JESSE TYLER FERGUSON: "The only unnatural thing about me being gay is that I had a crush on Kirk Cameron until about 24 hours ago."

"brave"? Were the KKK brave for voicing their opinions as well?

Nobody is saying he can't voice his opinion, no matter how bigoted or hurtul it may be, not even GLAAD is doing that. In the same way that Cameron is allowed his idiotic view, others are allowed to express their opinions on his views. The people who employ him also should know, especially if he's making such outrageous claims on national television.

Ah, forget the Bible. Kirk is a little bitch who hides behind his religion to cloak his own prejudices.
