"The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation has urged TV network CNN not to use guests from the "anti-gay industry".

Calling for supporters to sign a petition, GLAAD said: "For years, CNN has insisted on including the voices of the anti-gay industry whenever a topic that involves the LGBT community has come up."

Guests from the 'pro-gay' industry still OK.

So is it better to let the anti gay industry have air, argue it out and hopefully lose the debate or ban them altogether?

I don't like manufactured controversy in the first place which is why I read news, as opposed to watching it where they feel that no matter what they need an 'opposing' point of view.
