19 Kids and Cancelled? Petition to Have The Duggars Fired Launched Online

Better watch out Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar. Your homo-hating ways could end up getting you both a pink slip. Then how will you feel all those damn kids?

An online petition on Change.org is urging TLC to cancel the highly rated reality show "19 Kids and Counting" for the Duggar family's active involvement in anti-LGBT causes. The petition, which was launched three months ago appears to be gaining serious traction. On November 19, Huff Po reported that it had 12,500 signatures. As of this writing, one day later, the petition has over 75,000 signees - 25,000 less than its goal of 100,000.

"The Duggars have been using their fame to promote discrimination, hate, and fear-mongering against gays and transgendered people. You need to take a stand on the side of justice and cancel their show," the petition reads.

The petition titled "End LGBTQ fear mongering by the Duggars" which was launched by Jim Wissick of San Jose, California, makes special mention of Michelle Duggar's participation in a robocall against an anti-discrimination housing law affecting transgender residents of Fayetteville, Arkansas, in which she likened trans women to criminals and child molesters.

"The Fayetteville City Council is voting on an ordinance this Tuesday night that would allow men - yes, I said men - to use women's and girls' restrooms, locker rooms, showers, sleeping areas and other areas that are designated for females only." Duggar said in the robocall. "I don't believe the citizens of Fayetteville would want males with past child predator convictions that claim they are female to have a legal right to enter private areas that are reserved for women and girls."

Fear monger much, Michelle?

The anti-discrimination ordinance was passed by Fayetteville Arkansas City Council in August, but a group called "Repeal 119" gathered enough signatures to put the new law to a public vote on December 9.

The petition noted that according to finance and expenditure reports filed with the County Clerk's office, almost one fourth of the $44,000 raised for candidates to fight the new law has been donated by Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.

HollywoodLife.com reached out to TLC about the petition, they had no comment.

The famous mega-family is part of the Quiverfull movement, which is largely considered a patriarchal cultish sect of Christianity. Quiverfulls are against pre-marital sex and call for women to be completely subservient to men. The Duggars have used their celebrity to champion anti-gay candidates, and are regulars at rallies and conferences pushing anti-gay and anti-abortion policy.
