Kirk Cameron is experiencing a new sort of growing pains over his anti-gay remarks.
Former "Growing Pains" star Cameron went on the defensive on Tuesday,
responding to the many people who criticized his comments about homosexuality and gay marriage during an interview on Friday's "Piers Morgan Tonight."
In a statement provided to ABC News, the 41-year-old Cameron -- a Christian evangelist who's starred in a number of religious-themed films since his '80s heyday as a child actor -- lamented that he's been accused of "hate speech" and accused his detractors of trying to suppress his opinion.
“I should be able to express moral views on social issues,” Cameron said, “especially those that have been the underpinning of Western civilization for 2,000 years — without being slandered, accused of hate speech, and told from those who preach ‘tolerance’ that I need to either bend my beliefs to their moral standards or be silent when I’m in the public square.”
In the statement, Cameron also denied that he has hatred for the gay community, saying "I can assuredly say that it's my life's mission to love all people" and adding, "I spoke as honestly as I could" during the Morgan interview.
The actor went on to offer a variation on the "some of my best friends are gay" gambit, adding, "I’ve been encouraged by the support of many friends (including gay friends, incidentally).”
During his interview on the CNN show, Cameron -- while promoting his new film "Monumental" -- opined that homosexuality is "unnatural" and "detrimental and ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization."
"I think that it's detrimental and ultimately destructive to so many of the foundations of civilization," the actor told Morgan.
As for gay unions, Cameron added, "I would never attempt to try to redefine marriage. And I don't think anyone else should either."
Cameron's comments drew an almost immediate response from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, whose senior director of programs, Herndon Graddick, wrote, "In this interview, Kirk Cameron sounds even more dated than his 1980s TV character. Cameron is out of step with a growing majority of Americans, particularly people of faith who believe that their gay and lesbian brothers and sisters should be loved and accepted based on their character and not condemned because of their sexual orientation.”
The actor's statements also drew the wrath of his former "Growing Pains" colleagues. Cameron's former TV dad, Alan Thicke, tweeted on Monday, "I'm getting him some new books. The Old Testament simply can't be expected to explain everything."
Thicke later added, "I love Kirk but I may have to spank him...'tho not in a gay way!"
Cameron's former onscreen sibling, Tracey Gold, also offered her take on Cameron's utterances, noting, "I am a strong supporter of the #LGBT Community, and I believe in equal rights for all. #NOH8 #LOVE." Gold also posted a picture of herself participating in the anti-discrimination "No H8" campaign.

Fair use for discussion purposes~
It's okay for this spokesman to attack Kirk but not okay for Kirk to speak of Godly values, you'll note. Who was showing hatred with hate speech, slandering, falsely accusing, and misleading about many Christian's views? It wasn't Kirk but this spokesman and program director towards Kirk. I'm so tired of bullies singling out people expressing their personal views as to how they see things and the impact on our society. They want to drown out the sane voice and attempt to out- do the moral man honoring God. That's one of the problems in this whole scenario. No respect of their fellow man but instead force their beliefs on to others demanding we accept what God says "no" to. They believe they're right and if we 'deviants'-in-their-eyes don't accept life their way , then they are ready to do battle and take down anyone who expresses an opposite thought in their head. If we don't like it , they'll just squash us like bugs annoying them. Big me; little you-i-tis! That isn't helping their cause but hurting it! If they were only bright enough to see that. They should have the good sense to say nothing instead. It wouldn't even make the news if they didn't make an issue of it. Such outspoken antagonists hurt themselves in the end.
This lifestyle is full of loud mouths shooting off nonsense irresponsibly and if they only realized it ,hurt their own cause. There's no shame, no conscience, no reasoning or rationality used. Just bulldozer types ready to do just that!
What did Kirk say or do to create this firestorm? He sounded rational and reasonable for one. He used logic. Sounded intelligent. He pointed out the dangers for another ,to our society. He expressed moral concern for a social issue, honestly dealing with it. He said nothing wrong. He told the truth. A truth deviants can't handle hearing. It sends them into a rage. Homosexuality is unnatural, detrimental and destructive to the foundations of society/civilization. Truth stated.
God defined marriage in the Garden of Eden. What He established was the basis of the foundation for civilization and society. It is patterned on what's in Heaven. Just as stated in the Lord's Prayer when we pray "God's will is done on earth as it is in Heaven." God formed Eve out of Adam's rib from just under his arm and near his heart. He created a helpmate that was female and established the basis of the family then and there. How dare the clay question the potter and demand God change what He established! The arrogance of man to demand to change the definition of marriage. Surely we have arrived to the description of our time "as in the days of Noah". Those loud mouths then went on until the rain came falling on their heads and the ark doors were shut. Fools never learn but instead shout demands, point fingers and persecute because they can't prove their way is truth. They just make bigger fools of themselves.
This is only the beginning as we have noted. Now other sexual deviants want equal rights. Kirk is so right in what he stated. Thank God Kirk stood up and stood strong declaring truth. May God protect him and bless him proving what he said is truth. We need to pray for the deceived in such darkness because only the light of God and His love can reach them. God sent a man to add reason to their beliefs and they turn around and mock him. Just as foolish arrogant man has always done throughout history. How dare they act like their opinions are more worthy then Kirk's.
Kirk never spoke out towards any one person singling them out like is being done to him. This is persecution in action. He stated he loved gay people just as God does. It's the sin that is hated by God. Love the sinner, hate the sin. What Kirk was expressing intelligently and reasonably.
Truth needs to be told and presented if this sin is ever to be overcome. There is nothing wrong in stating truth . It's love to point out what sin is and does to our civilization. But oh how the darkness wants to cover it up and keep the light of God off of this subject. Sadly this brings judgement on the whole nation when society accepts it. They put us in peril and we have every right to object . How dare they attempt to silence us , who will be impacted also, as we live in this evil society as well. It's the innocent who will be harmed and we need to speak out to protect them. May God give us the courage to speak out like kirk has if the opportunity ever comes our way.
Go Kirk...with the Lord's blessing and ours! Your future is a Heavenly blessed one at the Lord's side!
