Piers Morgan has been asking every social conservative who comes on his CNN program about their views on gay marriage and homosexuality.
Kirk Cameron, the star of Growing Pains, does an excellent job of reminding Piers that he's imposing his own value judgement when he asks his leading questions.
In fact, when asked about the interview later, Piers praised Kirk for being "honest to what he believed" and "brave" for sticking to his beliefs.
