Anti-Muslim Hate Group Previously Targeted Modern Family And Degrassi For Gay Characters | Following a campaign by the Florida Family Association, Lowe’s, Bank of America, and other companies pulled their advertising from the TLC reality television show All-American Muslim. This cowering to Islamophobia represents a victory for the hate group. But it’s not the first time it has launched a campaign against a relatively benign television show. It previously targeted TV shows featuring gay characters, successfully convincing Toys R Us to stop advertising for Modern Family and pressuring a variety of advertisers to stop running commercials during Degrassi.
