Post LGBT Activist Petition to Cancel 19 Kids and Counting



Thousands are backing a petition calling for the cancellation of the TLC series "19 Kids and Counting" over the stars' discriminatory sentiments against the LGBT community.

A petition on Change.org launched by Jim Wissick of San Jose, California, states that "19 Kids and Counting," starring conservative Baptists Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and their children, should be axed because of the LGBT fearmongering promoted by the family.

"The Duggars have been using their fame to promote discrimination, hate, and fear-mongering against gays and transgendered people," Wissick wrote in a letter to TLC which was posted on the Change.org petition page. "You need to take a stand on the side of justice and cancel their show."

His petition currently has more than 12,500 signatures with a goal of 100,000.

Wissick highlights Michelle Duggar's involvement in a robocall against an anti-discrimination housing law affecting the transgender community in Arkansas. In the call, which was made to state residents in August, Michelle said transgender women should not be able to use the proper restroom and dubbed them "males with past child predator convictions that claim they are female."

The Duggars' Facebook page has also been embroiled in controversy. Last week, the couple posted a Facebook photo of themselves kissing and encouraged other married couples to share their own shots. John Becker, of LGBT blog The Bilerico Project, posted a photo of him kissing his husband, along with a message about marriage equality; he says his photo was later taken down and that he was banned from the Duggar's page, E! News reports.

Homophobic ties extend to the Duggar children, too. Eldest son Josh Duggar is the executive director of the anti-gay Family Research Council's legislative group, FRC Action, which is notorious for outrageous claims linking homosexuality with pedophilia and promoting the discredited theory of ex-gay therapy.

The Duggars became TLC network regulars when their show, at the time titled "17 Kids and Counting," debuted in 2008. Season 9 of the series, now titled "19 Kids and Counting," premiered in September and is currently airing.

A spokesperson for TLC was not immediately available for comment.

Exclamation Conservative Celebrities Lead Charge To Save ‘19 Kids And Counting’

Fans of the Duggars and their hit reality show, ‘19 Kids and Counting,’ have joined forces with a petition of their own and a social media campaign rallying around the embattled family.

LifeSiteNews has attracted tens of thousands of online signatures with its petition challenging the contention that the family’s values are somehow intolerant toward sexual deviants.

In other words she doesn't want men wearing dresses having all access passes to the ladies room.
