Kirk Cameron is being promoted as a
“champion of marriage” by the National Organization for Marriage,
the nation's most vociferous opponent of marriage equality.
In a video for NOM's Marriage
Anti-Defamation Alliance (MADA), Cameron is introduced by Damian
Goddard.
Cameron has “been persecuted by the
mainstream media, mercilessly subjected to an unreasonable amount of
scrutiny,” Goddard tells viewers.
Goddard is referring to the firestorm
of controversy Cameron created in March when he appeared on CNN's
Piers Morgan Tonight and said that being gay is “unnatural”
and “detrimental, and ultimately destructive to so many of the
foundations of civilization” and that he would not be supportive if
one of his six sons told him he was gay.
Cameron himself did not revisit the
episode in the 4-minute video, opting instead to pitch his
Christian-based marriage seminar, Love Worth Fighting For, and
films. (The video is embedded in the right panel of
