Petition to CBS: http://act.faithfulamerica.org/sign/perkins_facethenation/?t=1&akid=567.425745.OYDQypThis Sunday, Face the Nation is scheduled to feature Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council. Perkins has repeatedly accused gay men of molesting children, causing the Southern Poverty Law Center to formally name FRC to its list of hate groups.
Perkins was once a regular on CNN and MSNBC, but those networks have increasingly abandoned him as mainstream Christians have challenged his decades-long record of spreading ugly misinformation about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. CBS News should do the same.

in economic issues Pope Francis is doing the best of any I know. And I am not a Catholic.

Sumner Redstone plays both sides of the aisle to his Corporate Advantage as usual.

There are lots of Christians who are LGBT or pro-LGBT. C'mon already! CBS should include some of them as well.
