Tell CBS to cancel hate-monger Tony Perkins

In less than 24 hours, more than 20,000 of us have joined in calling on CBS News to cancel Tony Perkins - [1]will you add your name?

Dear Faithful America member,

With the Supreme Court about to hear a historic case on marriage equality, CBS News is turning to an anti-gay hate group leader to present the Christian point of view.

Tomorrow, Face the Nation is scheduled to feature Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council. Perkins has repeatedly accused gay men of molesting children, causing the Southern Poverty Law Center to formally name FRC to its list of hate groups.

Perkins was once a regular on CNN and MSNBC, but those networks have increasingly abandoned him as mainstream Christians have challenged his decades-long record of spreading ugly misinformation about lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people. CBS News should do the same.

Tell CBS News: Cancel Tony Perkins. He doesn't speak for Christians.

Thanks!
