camwynThose of my readers who identify as Christian, and who believe in love and decency, and who were pleased with the Supreme Court's decision on DOMA, I'm putting a petition link behind the cut that you might be interested in.
While millions of Christians celebrated our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters coming one step closer to equality, CNN once again turned to a hate-group leader to speak on our behalf.
Less than an hour after the Supreme Court decision was announced, they interviewed Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, who falsely warned that the court decision would lead to "religious organizations losing their exemption."
CNN host Wolf Blitzer failed to challenge Perkins' lies, nor did his segment feature any Christian leaders with a different point of view -- despite polls showing that a majority of Christians actually oppose the Defense of Marriage Act.
In fact, CNN has a long history of inviting Perkins to represent the Christian point of view, without disclosing to their viewers that his organization has been officially designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.
It's time for CNN to stop portraying Christians as voices of anti-gay hate -- will you join me in signing a petition to CNN?

Now, as promised, here is the kitten.
