The Rev. Jerry Falwell has slammed an upcoming cable TV special about gay parents and their children on the youth-oriented Nickelodeon network as a show that aims "to invade the minds and hearts of children."
But among the guests appearing on the program he so strongly denounces is Falwell himself. While disapproving of gay parenting in his comments on the program, the conservative Christian evangelist also says homosexuals are entitled to respect and should not be "in any way harassed or robbed of their civil rights."
The program, a "Nick News Special Edition: My Family Is Different," airing on June 18, also features comic Rosie O'Donnell, herself a gay parent of three adopted children, discussing the issue with a group of teenagers and host Linda Ellerbee.
