A tiny minority (LGBT) is vocal and gets so much done for them by corporate America. A larger group of Christians gets insulted over here and over there by corporate America. Uh why don’t Christians just turn off HGTV and stop patronizing companies that are at war with Christian values?

Exactly. 2% of the population screaming because the rest of us don’t want to watch their crap on TV.

I looked up the demographics.

In San Francisco this is it:

“10,384 (3%) were same-sex married couples or partnerships”

3%

In San Francisco. And this includes “partnerships”.

I’ve never watched this show... but I’m looking for it now that I know the left is trying to railroad them for being decent people.

When Obama ran for President, he was against gay marriage.

Simply because they’re not motivated.

The parent companies of the MSM include Disney, Comcast, and Time Warner.

We no longer visit Disney, nor patronize its production and broadcast properties, namely ABC and ESPN.

Current Communist Goals

EXTENSION OF REMARKS OF HON. A. S. HERLONG, JR. OF FLORIDA

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Thursday, January 10, 1963

Mr. HERLONG. Mr. Speaker, Mrs. Patricia Nordman of De Land, Fla., is an ardent and articulate opponent of communism, and until recently published the De Land Courier, which she dedicated to the purpose of alerting the public to the dangers of communism in America.

At Mrs. Nordman’s request, I include in the RECORD, under unanimous consent, the following “Current Communist Goals,” which she identifies as an excerpt from “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen:

[From “The Naked Communist,” by Cleon Skousen]

CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

. . . . .
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

. . . . .

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use [”]united force[”] to solve economic, political or social problems.

. . . . .

Omg!? A pastor preaching homosexual conduct is -— shudder -— horrors -— sinful?! Whatever WILL the pastor say next? “Thou shall not steal ?” Obama solution : tear the infidel church down and replace it with a homosexual bathhouse. Proclaim a national day of celebration and drench the White-and-Blackpower House in “gay liberation” floodlights. Replace Old Glory with the homosexual parade flag. Dress the Marine honor guard in nice frilly pink fruFrus. Problem of mouthy pastor - solved. /s

Yep, look for it. But I’m not so sure they will. The Gaines seem to have lots of resources and are wildly popular, not just on HGTV. They have Magnolia Market, their decor and furniture is being sourced to furniture stores, they are even launching a magazine. So they hold a lot of cards.

Don’t give in, Chip and Joanna!

They are two genuine people that happen to have a hit show. Back when we had cable, I used to watch it.

It is an abomination that people are going after them like this!

There is no controversy, just a few whining queers attention whoring.

Myself and the wife have watched the show for a number of years. The Gaines are huge Baylor fans as I believe they meet while attending school. Chip does go a bit over the top at times clowning around, but overall it's an OK show.

IIRC there have been a couple of episodes where gays were indeed to subjects of the show.
