CLEVELAND -- The CBS and NBC television networks are refusing to run a
30-second television ad from the United Church of Christ because its
all-inclusive welcome has been deemed "too controversial."
The ad, part of the denomination's new, broad identity campaign set to
begin airing nationwide on Dec. 1, states that -- like Jesus -- the
United Church of Christ seeks to welcome all people, regardless of
ability, age, race, economic circumstance or sexual orientation.
According to a written explanation from CBS, the United Church of
Christ is being denied network access because its ad implies
acceptance of gay and lesbian couples -- among other minority
constituencies -- and is, therefore, too "controversial."
