One Million
Moms is calling for the defunding of the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) over
its airing of Prideland.
In the
docuseries, out actor Dyllón Burnside (FX's Pose) talks with
LGBT Americans living in the modern South, including lesbian moms in Alabama
and Jessica Gonzalez, an openly queer Texas state representative. The series
consists of six short-form episodes aired throughout June and a one-hour
special broadcast on June 12.
In an email to
supporters, One Million Moms' Monica Cole said that PBS must be defunded
because its programming promotes “an ideology of sexual deviancy” and attacks
“religious liberty.”
“PBS has been
airing a TV and an online series called Prideland to promote
and normalize unbiblical sexuality,” Cole wrote. “By distributing and
promoting Prideland, PBS is furthering attacks on Christianity and
is making a mockery of the Bible and God's design for human sexuality.”
Cole called on
supporters to support a bill introduced by Colorado Representative Doug
Lamborn, a Republican, which seeks to defund public broadcasting.
One Million
Moms has a history of calling for boycotts against companies or organizations
that support LGBT rights.
