Kirk Cameron Controversy: Regarding his conservative philosophies, Cameron has been the focus of several high-profile controversies over the years. The actor has been public with his thoughts on homosexuality for decades, despite facing a lot of opposition to his opinions. When Cameron made homophobic remarks on CNN’s Piers Morgan Tonight in 2012, it generated controversy.
According to Cameron, the institution of marriage was originally established between Adam and Eve in the garden. “A man and a woman are one and the same till death do you part.” This being the case, I would never think to alter the meaning of marriage. Cameron agrees, and he believes nobody else should either. What are your thoughts on homosexual marriage? My response is “no.”
According to the actor, homosexuality is “unnatural…harmful, and ultimately damaging to so many of the foundations for civilisation.” Cameron emphasized in the same interview that abortion is “wrong in any situation.” Piers Morgan, a journalist, later tweeted, “I don’t believe this Kirk Cameron interview went quite how he anticipated it would… #CNN.”
I don't think this Kirk Cameron interview went entirely how he thought it would… #CNN

In response to the interview, GLAAD created a petition with the slogan “Tell Kirk Cameron It’s Time to Finally Grow Up.” Growing Pains band members have also expressed their disapproval with his words.
Alan Thicke, the father from a 1980s comedy, tweeted, “I’m going to purchase him some new books.” No one should, in my opinion, anticipate that the Old Testament will cover all bases. Best known for playing Cameron’s sister, actress Tracey Gold, tweeted: “I am a steadfast supporter of the #LGBT Community and I believe in equal rights for everyone. The hashtags #NOH8 and #LOVE are not my favorites.
I am a strong supporter of the #LGBT Community, and I believe in equal rights for all. #NOH8 #LOVE

She said she “wanted to dissociate [herself] from such ideas” in an interview with E! Online. In my perspective, “I think it’s really important that we are louder with love and support for every single person that is negative.” In a statement, Cameron claimed that “some people felt that my emotions were not loving toward people in the gay community.”
This is untrue, he declared. I can certainly say that loving everyone is my life’s purpose. GLAAD criticized him for using his platform to attack homosexual Americans and for trying to play the victim in order to sell his future film in reaction to his speech. Monumental: At the time, the documentary In Search of America’s National Treasure was being promoted.)
