The home channel is full of faggot shows. The one show that doesn't have them on, are considered haters.
This shit makes people want to push back.
HGTV Responds To Chip And Joanna Gaines’ Anti-Gay Church Controversy
The network is clear on where it stands.
12/01/2016 02:00 pm ET | Updated 2 hours ago
HGTV stars Chip and Joanna Gaines of “Fixer Upper” made headlines this week — not for their home designs, but for their association with a Texas church.
BuzzFeed published a piece by reporter Kate Aurthur Tuesday about the Gaines’ affiliation with the Antioch Community Church, a nondenominational, evangelical church located in Waco, Texas ― the same town where the couple runs their Magnolia businesses. Aurthur’s article focuses on the fact that the church’s pastor, Jimmy Seibert, “takes a hard line against same-sex marriage and promotes converting LGBT people into being straight.” But she notes that “whether the ‘Fixer Upper’ couple agrees is unclear.”
Arthur includes quotes from Seibert’s sermons about marriage being between a man and a woman, and the possibility for conversion from same-sex attraction. (The American Psychological Association declared that conversion therapy is not only ineffective, but also “harmful,” back in 2009.)
While BuzzFeed did not obtain responses from either the Gaineses or HGTV, the network replied to The Huffington Post’s request for comment Thursday, saying: “We don’t discriminate against members of the LGBT community in any of our shows. HGTV is proud to have a crystal clear, consistent record of including people from all walks of life in its series.”
A representative for the Gaineses was not immediately available when contacted by HuffPost.
BuzzFeed has since received criticism for its post from commenters and conservatives, with some saying the media outlet is targeting the Gaineses for their Christian faith and even dubbing the piece “dangerous.”

There's always a little smell of "Praise the Lord" on their show. And we have never seen a gay couple on as their clients. But boy do their kids get to show up for 2 minutes of "family time and cupcakes" each episode !!! I wouldn't be surprised if The Gaine's have an anti gay streak in them. They're very likeable and entertaining but that never stopped a person from being prejudiced.If they are in this category we'll just have to call them on the carpet and procede accordingly.
