Chip and Joanna Gaines are hot right now... but they’re also in the hot seat. The entrepreneurial couple’s HGTV show Fixer Upper has captivated the hearts of a diverse set of viewers, garnering them much media recognition. But after an article unearthed the pro-traditional marriage position of the Gaines’ pastor, fans are calling for the couple to reveal their own stance on the issue.

While running Magnolia, their home goods and construction business, Chip and Joanna Gaines were contacted by HGTV about the possibility of creating a home transformation show. In 2013, that dream became a reality with Fixer Upper.

It’s ‘guilt by association’.

The Left says you must either A) publically and forcefully condemn and vilify any associates who have an opposite viewpoint AND remove yourself from their influence, or B) the person or group must recant their position and then ask forgiveness for their “crimes”, which the Left will never give, of course.

So, because the Gaines’ pastor has traditional views, and since the Gaines’ are a public success, the Left’s mission is to discredit the Gaines in anything and everything they do. This is in the hope of forcing them to give up, or for the network their show is on to be forced to cancel it.

It is my hope that they stand firm, no matter the pressure.

All the more reason to love them.

Whats the end game? You can’t have a TV show of any kind anymore, unless you endorse homosexual marriage and LGBT issues???

Bingo. Welcome to the Cultural Revolution.

In Breaking News, Cosmopolitan has just discovered today, that some pastors actually quote from Leviticus, Romans, 1 Corinthians, Hebrews, James, John, Jude, Galatians, 1 Timothy, Mark and Revelation.

Let me guess. On their show they’ve never had a gay couple as a client.

Seems like on all of these other types of shows they always show gay couples.

Did you know that God considered homosexuality an Abomination? Leviticus 20:13. “13. If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death.”
I don’t like homosexual conduct at all. Explain to your child what they do to each other ( I guess that would be child abuse). I suspect they will throw up.
We absolutely do hot have to accept homo marriage as acceptable under the first amendment freedom of religion. Those people can and will go to hell.

Let’s recap. History is prologue.

This is the same persecution the bakery faced, when they refused to make the wedding cake. No different. Or chick-fil-a, for that matter.

I’m hopeful, this will all stop under President Trump. Kaput.

So the same liberals who denounced Trump for scaring Muslims are now saying that Christians who accept traditional teachings on homosexuality should be driven out of business? Got it.

When Chick-Fil-A opened a restaurant in the Seattle area, the Seattle Times FOOD SECTION ran an article encouraging potential customers to go to OTHER restaurants serving chicken sandwiches, and provided a list of alternatives. A rather unprecedented approach for a new restaurant opening, in my view. Not even a review, but "just don't go there." The Seattle Times is now dominated by butt sniffers.

Traditional views?
I call it Gods views.
People will twist and plot in vain, nothing will change God.

Oh, not this crap again.

This show is about home remodeling by a husband and wife team who actually seem to enjoy each other. It’s a wholesome show you can let kids watch. They teach their own kids manners and work ethic.

So, naturally, the left needs to torpedo it.

Everything good and uplifting deeply offends them. Eff em.

It ain’t fans. It’s the homoagenda mafia.
