Are U as pissed off at Lowes for their bigoted decision to pull advertising from TLC's All-American Muslim as we are?

Good! You're not alone! Actress Mia Farrow and hip-hop icon Russell Simmons are too!

After hearing the distressing news, Mia asked her followers to join her in a boycott of the home improvement chain, tweeting:

OMG! We can't believe this is actually happening! We can't believe we actually have to write about this nonsense! We can't believe companies like Lowes would actually LISTEN to this nonsense!

TLC's reality show All-American Muslim, which follows five muslim families living in Michigan and documents discrimination they face on a regular basis, is facing discrimination from advertisers!

After cowardly buckling to protests from the cray cray's of the Florida Family Association, Lowes has pulled their advertisements from the show because the FFA believes:

This is pretty ridiculous.

After Pretty Little Liars debuted their first 'out of the closet' moment with Emily Fields, the Florida Family Association launched an anti-gay campaign.

The campaign called out to advertisers, asking them to pull their sponsorship because the show's romantic woman on woman relationship correlates "irresponsible imagery."

The FFA didn't stop there, they continued, saying:

NOT cool!

Back in November, we were VERY disappointed to learn that Kodak had pulled its ads from airing during Teen Nick's popular series, DeGrassi: The Next Generation.

At the time, we heard that Kodak has received a slew of emails from the Florida Family Association (FFA) for supporting a show that "targets teens with gay propaganda and other immoral behavior." The FFA seems to REALLY have it out for the show because there's not only gay characters, but a transgender one as well.

We were pleased to learn that Kodak is once again advertising on the show, but NOW the FFA is at it again, and they're continuing to harass Degrassi show sponsors, including Penguin Viking, Verizon, Colgate, and Hewlett Packard.

Here's what FFA founder David Canton had to say about his issues with Degrassi:
