AFA ActivismAction Alert - 03/15/02Rosie O'Donnell pushes 'gay' agenda in ABC interviewAFA weighs in on network media bias and celebrity agenda.
American Family Association today criticized popular entertainer Rosie O'Donnell for using her status as a Hollywood star to promote the homosexual agenda during an interview with Disney/ABC last night. "We certainly aren't surprised that Disney was once again front and center in the push to normalize homosexuality in our culture," said AFA President Donald E. Wildmon, "but it was sad to see Rosie O'Donnell using her star power to stump for the homosexual agenda. It further demonstrates the deathgrip that liberal elites have on the entertainment and news media institutions." In the interview with Diane Sawyer on her Primetime Thursday news program, O'Donnell admitted that her "coming out" as a lesbian - made official on the show last night - was a strategic decision to help promote a political cause: forcing the state of Florida to change its laws to allow homosexuals to adopt children. O'Donnell, who has adopted children from another state, focused on a Florida case in which two "gay" men, because of their sexual orientation, might lose a foster child that is now ready for adoption. O'Donnell said she contacted the American Civil Liberties Union, which is handling the same-sex couple's case in Florida, and offered her help. "I said.I would like to do a national interview in support of [the couple] and identify myself as a gay parent in the hopes of possibly allowing this child to stay in his family," she told Sawyer. Wildmon said he understood that the plight of children in the foster care system was a difficult and sometimes tragic one. "But you should fix the system and not make it worse," he said. "You don't cure that social ill by tearing down the institution of family even further by normalizing homosexual relationships. Children do better in a loving environment with a married mom and dad. Period." He added that it did not matter whether or not some homosexual couples might make good parents, because anecdotes should never be the basis of cultural norms. "There might be some single 14-year-old girls who make great moms, too, but on balance it's better for teenage girls not to have children outside of wedlock," Wildmon said." Likewise, Primetime Thursday did everyone a disservice by pointing to individual cases without adequately presenting the larger picture." ACTION NEEDED1. Pray that God will restore righteousness in our nation and give us strength to stand firm against ideals that are contrary to scripture.2. Educate yourself on the emotional and physical dangers, especially to children, associated with homosexual adoption. Please read the following articles:
