Tracey Gold and Alan Thicke, who played Kirk Cameron's sister and father on the 1980s sitcom "Growing Pains," have joined the chorus of performers taking exception to their castmate's anti-gay comments.
Gold, a long-married mom of four, tweeted Sunday, "I am a strong supporter of the #LGBT Community, and I believe in equal rights for all." Thicke, after first tweeting Sunday that, "I'll address kirk's comments as soon as I recover from rush limbaugh's," wrote Monday afternoon that he was "getting [Cameron] some new books. The Old Testament simply can't be expected to explain everything."
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) immediately responded, calling Cameron "dated" and "out of step." And the remarks sent numerous celebrities to Twitter to vent their feelings.
As for Morgan, TMZ reported that the talk-show host said Cameron was brave for sticking to what he believes, even if most people find his views to be "antiquated."
