GROWING PAIN IN THE ASS: Kirk Cameron recieves support for anti gay comments
While gay rights activists are eviscerating Kirk Cameron for calling homosexuality “unnatural,” “detrimental,” and “ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization,” the former “Growing Pains” star has received “thousands of emails and comments” of support, Cameron’s representative told abcnews.com today.
“Cameron is thankful for the thousands of emails and comments that he’s received from those who value the freedom to express one’s beliefs,” the actor’s rep said in an e-mail statement.
Cameron opined on gay rights during a Friday appearance on “Piers Morgan Tonight” to promote “Monumental,” a documentary in which he roams Washington, D.C. attempting to decipher the true intent of the founding fathers. On marriage equality, the outspoken evangelical Christian said, “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.”His Hollywood colleagues have taken to Twitter to counter him. Today, Alan Thicke, who played Cameron’s dad on “Growing Pains,” tweeted “I’m getting him some new books. The Old Testament simply can’t be expected to explain everything.” He previously tweeted “I’ll address kirk’s comments as soon as I recover from rush limbaugh’s.”
On Sunday, Tracey Gold, Cameron’s TV sister, wrote “I am a strong supporter of the #LGBT Community, and I believe in equal rights for all. #NOH8 #LOVE”
