My Husband's Not Gay is a television documentary aired by TLC.[1] The show follows four Mormon couples in Salt Lake City, Utah whose husbands are attracted to men. The couples explain that while the men feel attraction to other men, which they refer to as Same Sex Attraction (SSA), they do not act on it and are therefore not homosexuals.
Controversy[edit]
A Change.org petition was started to have TLC pull the program because, "TLC is ... sending the message that being gay is something that can and ought to be changed, or that you should reject your sexual orientation by marrying someone of the opposite sex." Objectors stated that by airing a television special about this belief, TLC was implicitly endorsing it, a form of bigotry.[2]
