Many of you grew up with Kirk Cameron in your living rooms every week when he starred on the sitcom Growing Pains. Kirk left main stream Hollywood and embarked on a life that he has dedicated to God. Every person has a right to their own path and I am sure that Mr Cameron believes his to be a righteous journey.
Certain remarks he has made about homosexuality are disturbing and hateful. He is quoted as saying, that he believes homosexuality is "unnatural... I think that it's detrimental, and ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization."
He further sates that, "Marriage was defined by God a long time ago. Marriage is almost as old as dirt, and it was defined in the garden between Adam and Eve -- one man, one woman for life till death do you part. So I would never attempt to try to redefine marriage. And I don't think anyone else should either. So do I support the idea of gay marriage? No, I don't."
Mr Cameron has a right to his opinion no matter how archaic and unrealistic it may be. In our world who is to say what is natural or normal. Homosexuality has been around for centuries and yet civilization keeps plodding forward.
As for God defining marriage; Mr Cameron's Adam and Eve theory is based on a book written by man not in Gods words but in his own.
Sexual orientation does not spell the downfall of civilization any more than the possible lose of the Twinkie due to weak sales.
Same sex unions do not weaken marriage they strengthen it.
Homosexuality does not weaken civilization it enhances it.
Take a look at this article and accompanying video done by former Hollywood child actors. It rebukes Mr Cameron's views while giving us some insight.

Do yourself a favor. Never walk away from bigotry. Walk toward it and help stomp it out.
