Disney TV station sparked controversy by producing ABC's "Good Christian Prostitutes"

The ABC network TV station linked to Disney, sparked outrage and protests by announcing a series based on the book "Good Christian Bitches" by Kim Gatlin. The production had already caused controversy when the station announced the recording of the pilot episode. As a way to circumvent the controversial broadcaster changed the program name to "Good Christian Belles" (Good and Fine Christian), but eventually decided to use only initials. Thus the program was aired under the name "GCB".
The series revolves around Amanda Vaughn (Leslie Bibb), a woman who is forced to move to his hometown of Dallas, after the death of her husband, a con man who was fleeing with his mistress and eventually suffered an accident. No other place or person to use, unless her alcoholic mother, she goes with her children to the city where he grew up.
Returning to his hometown, the protagonist will face three women who, during high school, were plagued by it. The series explores the ambiguity of his characters, on the one hand are devoted Christian who diligently attend the church and, second, carried away by the debauchery. The meeting point for women gossip, malicious and poisonous is just the church where congregate weekly. One of the serious character still uses passages from the Bible to make the other understand their errands during their plots.
This story caused an immediate reaction in various Christian groups, who protested against the production. According to the NY Dail News, New York City Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. is a series of opponents and criticized ABC's attempt to change the name of the program: "They're not fooling anyone with that. You can not change something that is already in your head ... we're not idiots, "he said.
The Association of American Families are also positioned on the case and said the show "mocks all those who have faith." The association organized a petition in order to boycott the series that has gathered over 200,000 signatures. The spokesman of the religious organization said: "Our boycott has really resonate with viewers - especially in the Christian community - who are shocked and horrified because the ABC / Disney really wants to put this program on the air. It is anti-Christian bigotry. This type of program is an insult to us all. The program name is offensive, an insult and humiliation. A misrepresentation of the Christian community - not only that, I think it's an insult to all women. "
Despite protests ABC is producing the first season of the series and has plans to distribute the production to other countries.
