Urge them to publicly clarify their position on the network's recent refusal to air the United Church of Christ's inclusionary ad.
Recently, CBS refused to air a United Church of Christ ad that emphasizes the church’s welcoming of a diverse membership, including same-sex couples. The Human Rights Campaign, in partnership with GLAAD (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation), called on CBS today to publicly clarify its position on the network's recent refusal to air the ad.
Please call CBS or e-mail them at audsvcs@cbs.com today and urge them to publicly clarify their position on the network's recent refusal to air the United Church of Christ's inclusionary ad.
CBS told the UCC that the inclusion of scenes that touch on "the exclusion of gay couples and other minority groups" by other religious institutions as well as "the fact the Executive Branch has recently proposed a Constitutional Amendment to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman" meant that "this spot is unacceptable for broadcast on the [CBS and UPN] networks."
The UCC ad, which was also declined by NBC, concludes with the line, "Jesus didn't turn people away. Neither do we. No matter where you are or where you are on life's journey, you are welcome here." You can view the ad on the UCC website here: www.stillspeaking.com/default.htm
In addition to FOX -- the only major broadcast network so far to say it will air the UCC's ad -- the 30-second spot has been accepted by a number of cable networks, including ABC Family, AMC, BET, CNN, Comedy Central, the Discovery Channel, the Hallmark Channel, the History Channel, Nick at Nite, TBS, TNT, the Travel Channel and TV Land.
Also today, the United Church of Christ announced that it has filed two related petitions with the Federal Communications Commission. For more on this story, or to take action please visit: http://www.ucctakeaction.org/ctt.asp?u=4497&l=70394.
