AFA JournalHOMOSEXUAL AGENDARosie pushes ‘gay’ agenda on ABCAFA Journal, May, 2002 edition In a March interview on Disney/ABC’s Primetime Thursday, popular entertainer Rosie O’Donnell said she plans to use her status as a Hollywood star to promote the homosexual agenda. “We certainly aren’t surprised that Disney is again pushing to normalize homosexuality in our culture,” said AFA President Don Wildmon, “but it was sad to see Rosie O’Donnell using her star power to stump for the homosexual agenda. It further demonstrates the death grip that liberal elites have on the entertainment and news media institutions.” In the interview with Diane Sawyer on her ABC news program, O’Donnell admitted that her “coming out” as a lesbian – made official on the show – 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 who 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…,” she told Sawyer. Wildmon said he understands that the plight of children in the foster care system is difficult and sometimes tragic. “But you should fix the system, 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 does 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 wedlock,” Wildmon said. “Likewise, Primetime Thursday did everyone a disservice by pointing to individual cases without adequately presenting the larger picture.” |
