Won't the trial be a hoot. Again and again the A&E gays will have to defend freedom of religion to the public. More bad black eyes. The public will be discussing the sin of homosexual ism again and again and again. The gays lose big time

You can earn a living alright. In another field. They aren't prohibited from working other angles. It depends on the exact wording of the contract. It may even have a buy-out clause. Who knows?

Non-compete clauses aren't always easy to break. I would be surprised if the one that appears to be in their contract prohibits them from doing ANY television shows -- in which case that would indeed be stopping someone from earning a living, at least in that field -- but it is quite possible that it would apply to reality shows, and that isn't uncommon in the broadcast world.

Non-compete clauses have been around for a long time. Usually they are used for a certain market geographic area, but given that this is a national show....
