Putting Bono on, The Culture and Media Institute's Dan Gainor said, is "a ridiculous, agenda-driven move" and "the latest example of the networks trying to push a sexual agenda on American families.” Online group OneMillionMoms.com called the inclusion of Bono and openly-gay reality star Carson Kressley "completely unacceptable.
"Christians should not watch the show, no excuses!" the group said. Green's take?
