ENTERTAINMENT HGTV Reesponds to ‘Fixer Upper’ Same-Sex Marriage Controversy
New York Post ^ | December 2, 2016 | Andrea Morabito

HGTV is standing by the hosts of its popular home renovation series “Fixer Upper.”

The channel issued a response after BuzzFeed reported earlier this week that Chip and Joanna Gaines attend a church whose pastor has spoken out against same-sex marriage, and raised the question of whether gay couples would be welcome on the show.

“We don’t discriminate against members of the LGBT community in any of our shows,” the network said in a statement to The Post.

The Gaines has a great show...great Family and I think just because they are Christians and proud to be, the LGBT community think (?) they are discriminatory.

HGTV is good...I love watching some home improvement shows...

Good point, but Paula was caught. The Gaines have not said anything, they are being criticized for the church they attend and their pastor. (Which reeks of hypocrisy considering Obamas years with Jeremiah Wright “just because obama attended his church doesn’t mean he agrees with him on everything, blah, blah)

...it’s not even all of them - many gay people don’t like how the militant left behave, so it’s less than 2%. The leftist media though are another story, giving a voice to the absurd. I wonder what percentage of the population is living in a “gay marriage”? It has to be tiny, yet they’re “required” by the left to have a gay couple in the show. Pathetic.

We may survive the Obammunist, but we won't survive the generation that put him in office.

The problem is damn near the entirety of the so-called "Millennials", who were brainwashed by their government indoctrination mills to believe that faggotism is perfectly normal. They're the ones we have to worry about...they'll be running the show in 10-15 years, so we had damn well better get busy deprogramming them or we are screwed.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho! God Bless Texas!

They both went to Baylor, but they met at her dad’s tire shop. She just came back to Waco since she was the only conservative on CBS news staff (and I think the only conservative in New York City).

This is a non-issue to Fixer Upper fans, “gay” or “straight”.

It’s Chip and Joanna’s life and they are free to live it how they want, and we just get to enjoy watching them. I would not want to hear they changed who they are, and what they believe, under pressure from HGTV execs.

Marathon “FIXER-UPPER” on yesterday, all day. It was a delight.

Penny-The-Pit-Bull and I curled up on the couch and watched it all day together!

It made me very happy that HGTV “binged” the show in defiance of the controversy.

Maybe it was already scheduled, but I felt very vindicated watching it and contributing to its ratings!

We don’t discriminate against members of the LGBT community in any of our shows,

I want to see a statement that says, "We don’t discriminate against members of the Christian community". This network is overloaded with homo-promo shows.

Sounds as if HGTV will now seek to force a sodomite couple on the show. I wonder if the Gaineses will stand by their convictions.

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

No, not really. That was just his cover, since a sizable majority of racial minorities don't believe in same-sex "marriage."

He's always believed in destroying society's foundations.
