Huffington Post reports that Australia’s Foxtel network is facing numerous threats of cancellation from viewers who were outraged by an antigay marriage ad.

Delineating how same-sex marriage could affect society at large, the commercial ran on a “pay TV provider” in the middle of “I am Cait,” the reality show following Caitlyn Jenner. It was produced by Marriage Alliance, an organization that staunchly opposes gay marriage.

The Sydney Morning Herald claims customers have posted complaints to Facebook and various social media channels.

While two other networks have refused to run the ad, Foxtel insists it strongly supports marriage equality.
