One Million Moms Makes Wrong Appeal to Kill 'The Mick'

Monica Cole, president of the anti-LGBTQ hate group media watchdog group One Million Moms (1MM), is so desperate to get Fox's breakout sitcom "The Mick" off the air, she's appealing to the comedy's sponsors to yank their ads. The trouble is, Cole's latest appeal is to a telecommunications giant with a long history of philanthropy to the LGBTQ community.

"This vulgar program is far from family-friendly, and with a TV-14 DLSV rating, you can be assured this will not be for family viewing. This irresponsible and tasteless program is inappropriate for any age," Cole wrote.

She is appealing to 1MM's 91,000 followers to "contact Cricket Wireless (AT&T Inc.) and ask that they pull their financial support from 'The Mick' before next week's episode."

Cole would have been smart to have googled "LGBTQ Cricket Wireless" before making her latest appeal to have the pre-paid phone company pull its ads from "The Mick." As a company, Cricket has a considerable track record of supporting LGBTQ rights and has a corporate culture that is at odds with 1MM's parent organization the anti-LGBTQ hate group American Family Association.

A regular sponsor of LGBTQ Pride celebrations, Cricket broke ground in 2015 by working with LGBT Technology Partnership to give free cell phones to homeless LGBTQ Youth. In 2016, Cricket made a $25,000 donation to the fund for the victims of the Pulse gay nightclub shooting in Orlando. Moreover, Cricket's parent company, AT&T has consistently received a perfect 100 rating on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index.

Although "The Mick" is third in its time slot, its popularity among viewers in the coveted 18-49 demo makes it a likely candidate for a third season.
