So, I’ve been a bit of a sour patch lately. I decided it was time for something to lift
my spirits a little bit. So I came back
to a video that I saw a while back. I encourage you to watch this, even if you
manage to read my entire post. Kirk
Cameron was brought on Piers Morgan to talk about his documentary, “Monumental.” However, it didn’t take long for the wolf to
rip off his sheep’s clothing. It soon
became an attack on Kirk Cameron’s moral beliefs, especially his views on
homosexuality. Kirk remained calm and
collected and simply said that he believed it was destructive and unnatural
behavior. Now, what was especially low
was that Piers Morgan, having made a few comments during that conversation with
Kirk Cameron, waited until Kirk Cameron was gone and brought another “expert”
on stage, and there they crucified
Kirk Cameron, making a mockery of his archaic ideas. Piers Morgan specifically said he had no idea
“how he could say he hates people that are born that way.” Hold the phone. Kirk said homosexuality is destructive and
unnatural. He never said anything about
hating anybody (and we’ll overlook the fact that the “gay gene” was
scientifically proven to be false years ago).
I’m doing it again.
Negativity aside, there’s a side of this that is really cool. Even
though Kirk Cameron has received a mountain of criticism for this, he has
never, not once, backed down on his stand nor apologized for his comments. In a society that is broadening the
definitions of hate speech every day, it is refreshing to see someone who is
willing to stand for the truth, no matter what the consequences. Let’s take this and use to help us to see
that we are not alone. I have been
crying in the abandoned streets, hoping someone will yell back. Someone has, and on national television at that. Take a stand.
Now.
