"One million moms" at it again.

Protesting The New Normal is so last summer. Now anti-gay group One Million Moms is up in arms about a new ABC Family show called The Fosters — even though the series in question doesn’t even have an IMDb page yet, let alone a finished pilot.
EW announced in August that the cable network had greenlit The Fosters, an hourlong drama executive produced by Jennifer Lopez and created by Bradley Bredeweg and Queer as Folk‘s Peter Paige. The show will focus on a multi-ethnic family headed by a lesbian couple. One Million Moms has called the program “anti-family,” posting a call to arms on its website:

A premiere date has not been set, but One Million Moms wanted to sound the alarm about this new series. It will be airing on the network soon unless we do something about it. They are in the beginning stages.

ABC Family reported the comedy-drama pilot, working with the title The Fosters, is about two women raising a “21st century,” multi-ethnic mix of foster and biological kids. While foster care and adoption is a wonderful thing and the Bible does teach us to help orphans, this program is attempting to redefine marriage and family by having two moms raise these children together. One Million Moms is not sure how the explanation will be given on how the biological children were conceived. None of this material is acceptable content for a family show.

Hollywood is continuing to push an agenda that homosexuality is acceptable when scripture states clearly it is a sin. As Christians, the Bible also says that we must speak up against sin. If we remain silent then we are guilty of sin also.

"One Million Moms" is like six women 2 of which aren't even mothers who have multi-line phones.

That could be considered harmful to the family by showing excessive violence, etc? This is the only show worth protesting? What a coincidence.

One Million (one thousand? ) Moms is going to be a nuisance to laugh at, rather like Pat Robertson or Westboro Baptist, with a limited shelf life. Every time they get taken down, they lose cred. Soon, their right wing masters will have to dismantle them and start another astroturf group whose name hasn't yet become synonymous with Bringing Teh Stupid.

your knee kicking when the doctor does a reflex test.

I swear, they probably spend more time looking for things to be offended by in these shows than the actual target audience gets to watch.
