Under pressure from advocacy groups ranging from the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation to the Family Research Council, ABC has decided to shelve its six-episode reality series Welcome to the Neighborhood, which had been scheduled to debut July 10. Neighborhood was designed as a provocative look at attitudes in America's heartland by having white residents of a suburban cul-de-sac near Austin choose their new neighbors from a group of seven families from disparate backgrounds. The contestant families range from a gay couple with an adopted son to large families of Asian, black and Hispanic descent to a white pagan family that "worships several gods," according to promotional materials for the show. The contestants were vying to win a 3,300-square-foot, four-bedroom home on the cul-de-sac.
