Religious Right gets ABC to pull show
Via the Wedding Party: ABC has decided not to air the reality show, "Welcome to the Neighborhood," a show where multi-racial couples, including a gay couple, vie for the community's vote to be their neighbor. |
The show was yanked prior to being aired because the gay couple was chosen by a conservative Christian neighborhood to be their neighbor after undergoing a tremendous transformation from hate to understanding. But the American Family Association and [others] have forced ABC to pull the show. Write or call ABC and tell them to air "Welcome to the Neighborhood" at:
ABC, Inc. 500 S. Buena Vista Street Burbank, CA 91521-4551
(818) 460-7477
