After a CNN segment earlier in the week when Kyra Phillips spoke with CA Assemblywoman Bonnie Lowenthal and "Ex-Gay" Richard Cohen about a pending bill, both she and CNN were denounced all over the internet. The discussion concerned Lowenthal’s sponsorship of a bill (which was just approved by the Assembly) to strike some language from the Welfare and Institutions Code which mandated research into a cure for homosexuality. Cohen has zero integrity or truth on his side of the debate, and faced no counterpoint during the segment.
The outrage continued to flare, causing GLAAD to issue a call to action against the network.
Kyra has taken up the challenge, however, and aired a follow up segment filled with truth, an admission of poor choice of guests, and an affirmation of her support for LGBT civil rights. Bravo, Kyra.
