ABC Family Continues to Produce Anti-Family Programs

Obviously, ABC Family Channel is attempting to desensitize America's youth. They haven't let up, so neither will 1MM. ABC Family Channel's lineup includes several anti-family programs as well as airing movies such as "Pretty Woman" (about a hooker in Beverly Hills). ABC Family continues to add to that growing list. ABC Family has approved the series "Becoming Us" about two teenagers that begin dating and who both have fathers who are transgender and transforming into women.

Many families have already discovered that ABC Family is anything but family-friendly. But because "family" is part of the network's name, we thought a warning should still be sent out for anyone who continues to watch the channel. Previews have already begun airing, and the show will premiere this summer.

Take Action

Please use the information we have provided to contact ABC Family Channel concerning "Becoming Us" and strongly encourage ABC Family to drop all plans to air this program.

Let ABC Family know you and your family will not be watching "Becoming Us" or anything else on the network in order to avoid seeing the previews for this new show.

Let them also know you are prepared to join thousands of other voices in urging advertisers to place it on their "do not advertise" list.

Meanwhile, celebrate a victory!

Abercrombie & Fitch has plans to make positive changes including no longer having sexualized photos in marketing materials in its stores and on its shopping bags, starting in late July. 1MM has contacted Abercrombie & Fitch on multiple occasions over the last several years concerning sexual marketing campaigns. Some victories take longer than others. Not all happen within 24 hours, even though those are nice. With long-time CEO Mike Jeffries gone, the company aimed primarily at teens is making numerous changes. Some are common sense decisions while others are the result of feedback from concerned consumers. Money talks! Looks like Abercrombie & Fitch is doing everything possible to lose its Abercrombie & Filth reputation.

As a parent and a member of OneMillionMoms.com, I am concerned about the new ABC Family Channel program called "Becoming Us." I am disgusted that your network finds this suitable content for a family channel. ABC Family Channel is being irresponsible and causing great damage to our culture.

I am appalled that ABC intends to air a show that features the transgender lifestyle in a positive light on a family channel. I strongly encourage ABC to drop all plans to air the program "Becoming Us."

I am extremely concerned that ABC Family feels the need to be politically correct and has crossed the line in pushing the LGBT agenda into what some families would expect to be safe entertainment.
Two men transforming into women is not natural and is completely unacceptable material for a family network. Obviously, ABC Family Channel is attempting to desensitize America’s youth. There is plenty of time to do the right thing and pull the plug on this series.
My family and I commit to contact sponsors that advertise during this program if your network follows through with this show. We will urge advertisers to place it on their "do not advertise" list in protest of pushing mature and offensive content on children all across America.

My family and I will not be watching "Becoming Us" or anything else on ABC Family Channel in order to avoid seeing the previews for this new show, unless you make some needed changes to your lineup.
