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.

Have you seen the show about searching for a place internationally? Half the time, the “couples” are homo guys!

Yet another bit of evidence of leftist power. Good Lord, the left attacks people for the statements of third parties. We must ORGANIZE & FIGHT BACK! The left controls and manages; churches, business-(Zuckerberg)-media, academia. They can cause people to lose their jobs, pay large fines, shut their mouths and fear for their safety.

I believe they will survive this stupidity.

They have strong values and convictions.

Their religious views are none of HGTV’s f*ckin’ business - nor that of the Gaystapo.

Remember those brothers whose home renovation show was canceled by HGTV because they refused their Christian convictions about marriage?

If we’re going start banning Christians in this country because they don’t endorse the LGBT agenda, its a long list.

I watched one or two episodes of these two posers’ shows and concluded they didn’t know their ass from a hole in the ground about actual remodeling and the work it required. They are a couple of fantastic marketers I guess, but that’s all there is.


Can you still be a ‘poser’ and have been in the construction business for 15 years, long before the TV show, have remodeled 100’s of homes in the Waco area, and have the reputation of being one of the best in the area?

Again, all before the TV show. Actually the TV company came to them BECAUSE of their reputation.

Best bet for Chip and Jo: completely ignore this issue.

Now I'm wondering about the motive for this senseless crime earlier this year.

The show is a big scam. Every house is already owned by the clients. The shopping is just for show. They also got really pissed when they learned one guy had used their show to open a B&B. Now they require everyone sign a pledge that they will live in the house.

“As a Fixer Upper fan, I would love to know @joannagaines and @chippergaines’s thoughts on their pastor’s hateful, anti-LGBT beliefs,” one declared.

Because the most important thing you need to know about tiny 2-D people in your entertainment box doing carpentry for other tiny 2-D people a thousand miles away is their opinion of another person's opinion about other people.

Normal marriage equals sales to advertisers and viewers.

abnormal means no viewers means no profit.

Chip Gaines ran his own contracting/construction business before meeting his wife. They are legit- and also committed Christians. Of course they will have a target on their back now.

We live in leftist-totalitarianism.

The faster we ban together and fight this the better.

We had better field some organizations to take the attacked people under their wings and fight for them in courts.
