Nickelodeon special
Cultural conservatives are protesting the Nickelodeon cable network's upcoming special about intolerance toward kids with same-sex parents. Linda Ellerbee hosts the special entitled "My Family Is Different," which was produced by Ellerbee's own Lucky Duck Productions. The show "features a segment in which Ellerbee talks to a panel of young teenagers, some of whose parents are same-sex partners; others whose parents are heterosexuals openly opposed to homosexuality; and still others who are the children of heterosexual parents who are not outspoken on the subject.... Also appearing with the kids is Rosie O'Donnell -- the gay parent of three adopted children -- as well as a gay New York City firefighter with kids of his own and a gay Minnesota school principal." Hatemongering cretin Jerry Falwell blasts Nickelodeon for trying to "to invade the minds and hearts of children," even though he appears in the program himself.
