I don't know which program this author watched but the one I saw was nothing like what he's described here.
They took a very sensitive subject and presented it delicately with decorum, balance, and respect to each opinion. The religious views were not derided as hateful. LaBarbera and Falwell were very well presented in clear-spoken and lengthy taped segments.
The religous children were outspoken and respected. The children of gays expressed disagreement, but in a respectful way. When one child of lesbian parents said issues of gay families should be addressed in school, one of the Christian children spoke up and dissented strongly. He wasn't chastised for his opinion and in general most seemed to agree with him.
Overall, I think it was well-balanced and far, far less inflammatory than many conservatives were expecting.
Conservatives do themselves no favors by misrepresenting the facts on this issue. It only serves to undermine what credibility we hope to have. Once we lose credibility, why should anyone believe us?
How do "gays" go about having children? What is the biological mechanism they employ to make this happen?
1. Sweet, kind, beloved friend and frequent visitor to Nick...Rosie O'Donnell. Sitting there angelically and non-threateningly as the "face of the gay parent".
2. The heroic gay New York firefighter.
That this show was ever considered is an enormous look into the thinking of programmers at a children's network. For lots of parents having to deal with homosexuality at this point in their children's lives, isn't fair and is being pushed on them by this show.
