One Million Moms protests anti-Christian show 'The Real O'Neals' and lesbian scenes on 'Once Upon a Time'

One Million Moms, an organization that focuses on negative influences on the youth, has been putting pressure on the show "The Real O'Neals." They have been calling sponsors, the latest of which is Yum! Brands, to stop supporting the sitcom as it "mocks Christianity and insults Catholicism."

"1MM recognizes this show ridicules people of faith, and Christians across America are offended by it," the appeal on their website says. "Almost every scene is filled with sexual innuendos, implications, or mockery of faith."

The group has listed down several scenes that they consider offensive, including putting a Mary statue in the toilet, the daughter stealing money for the charity funds she is raising, the mom telling her 16-year-old gay son to have s** with a girl, among others.

"ABC network refers to this highly dysfunctional family as 'the perfect Irish-Catholic family,'" the group says.

1MM is encouraging everyone to contact its new sponsor to stop giving financial support to the show. Yum! Brands operates fast food chains like Pizza Hut, KFC, and Taco Bell.

The group also disagrees with a premise in another ABC show. The fantasy family series "Once Upon a Time," on its April 17 episode, introduced its first gay couple -- Ruby, a character from "Little Red Riding Hood," and Dorothy of "The Wizard of Oz." The two had a kissing scene, which the group finds unnecessary but the network says is "important" in a show that kids watch. Gay advocacy, the showrunners reportedly said, should be "normalized" rather than "marginalized," and gay relationships should become a part of everyday life.

"Homosexuality continues to be over-represented in the media because producers want people, and especially kids, to think it's normal and everyday life," says 1MM. "In reality, that is their fairytale."

One Million Moms, along with the American Family Association, is also calling on people to cancel their PayPal accounts. The online payment services company pulled out a project in North Carolina because it disagrees with HB2, a law that keeps people from using bathrooms of the opposite biological sex. The law has been taken by many as discriminatory against LGBT people rather than a safeguard for women and children from sex predators.
