One Million Moms Goes Ballistic Over Parents Mag Cover of Gay Dads

Right-wing extremists are losing it over the February cover of Parents magazine, which features a same-sex couple -- the first such cover in the publication's 93-year history.

"Parents is using its magazine as a platform to promote the pro-homosexual lifestyle," screams an online post from One Million Moms, a Christian right group affiliated with the American Family Association. "Even if families do not personally subscribe to the publication, they should be warned that it could be displayed in waiting rooms of dentist and doctor offices, where children could easily be subjected to the glorification of same-sex parents."

The cover shows fitness trainer Shaun T and his husband, Scott Blokker, and their 1-year-old sons. A story inside tells of their journey to fatherhood - the boys were conceived with the same egg donor, but one with each father's sperm, and delivered by the same surrogate. They were born prematurely and spent the first three weeks of their life in intensive care.

One Million Moms doesn't seem to care about the difficulties faced by the boys or their dads but instead worries about "children being indoctrinated to perceive same-sex couples as normal." The group also claims that being gay is a "lifestyle ... that the medical community identifies as unhealthy," something that is blatantly untrue.

The organization implores its supporters to sign an online petition expressing their disapproval to Parents. As of Tuesday afternoon, the petition had a little over 10,000 signatures, far less than the million members the group claims.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, a progressive organization that monitors bigotry, classifies the AFA, One Million Moms' parent organization, as a hate group for the misleading information it spreads about LGBTQ people. The Million Moms group has a history of objecting to LGBTQ-inclusive media and advertising.
