Duggars Fans Create Counter Petition To Save TLC Show '19 Kids And Counting;' American Family Association Claims The Duggar Family Is Being Targeted By 'Rabid Homosexual Activists' [PHOTO]

Fans of the Duggar family from the reality show "19 Kids and Counting" have recently created a counter petition to save the TLC show from being canceled. According to US Magazine, the new petition can be found on Ipetitions.com, and as of Friday, November 21, has received over 6,000 signatures.

  This petition arrives in response to a petition on Change.org requesting that TLC cancel the show after Michelle Duggar allegedly asked Fayetteville, Ark. residents to vote to repeal a law that condemns property and business owners to oust or fire people based on their gender identity. This petition has gained over 130,000 supporters since its release on August 20.

The new Ipetitions.com counter petition comes with a note reading, "The Duggar Family is under attack from anti-marriage advocates for standing for traditional marriage... We commend The Duggar Family for their brave stand in defending marriage as ordained by God between one man and one woman. No individual's sexual behavior and chosen lifestyle has the right to redefine marriage. Sign our petition today to let TLC know that you support the Duggars' stand for traditional marriage."

The American Family Association has also weighed in on the event, and has stated that the Duggars are under attack from "rabid homosexual activists." According to Jezebel, they are inquiring that their supporters sign the counter petition on behalf of the show. Their statement reads, "Rabid homosexual activists have made America's favorite family enemy Number One. The Duggar Family from TLC network's '19 Kids and Counting' has shared their strong Christian faith with millions of families across America for years. They are unashamedly pro-life and Christ-centered.

Because of their uncompromising stand on marriage and abstinence, the homosexual lobby has drawn a bully bead on Jim and Michelle Duggar. Gay activists are publicly labeling Jim and Michelle with words like "ignorance" and "fear mongering." In the past week, homosexuals launched a very frightening and fast-growing petition asking TLC to cancel '19 Kids and Counting.' Already, their hate-filled petition has gathered 130,000 signatures, thanks to the liberal media's propaganda machine."
