Professing Christian couple and TV personalities Chip and Joanna Gaines, known for their HGTV show ‘Fixer Upper’ and the Magnolia brand, are facing criticism for their decision to prominently feature a same-sex couple in their new series, Back to the Frontier. While this is bad enough, a deep dive into her social media history paints an even more disturbing picture.
Billy Jack Brawner, a creative director, is married to Sara Brawner. For years they struggled to conceive, enduring three miscarriages and one stillbirth before adopting four children. Shortly thereafter, however, they discovered she was pregnant, and the couple welcomed five children in under a year.
In 2016, after seeing his work and falling in love with it, Billy Jack Brawner became a key creative partner to Joanna Gaines, who worked for the next five years to shape and execute the visual and conceptual direction of the Magnolia brand across print, TV, digital, and product platforms.
In February 2021, Brawner came out as gay, sharing in a now-private Instagram post that, despite being married with children, he is a gay man who is “learning to absolutely love myself.”
In this post he reveals “I’m in love with a man who is so good. My life is so good, and I am so thankful. No more hate.” This man became the third partner in the couple’s relationship, with the three forming a ‘throuple’ to raise the children together.
Despite this new arrangement being a grotesque and bizarre mockery of God’s holy law and designs for marriage, which will inevitably scar their children for life and irreparably destroy the family, Joanna Gaines actually LIKED the post. She publicly declared her support by commenting, “Yes @billyjackbrawner. You are SO good. We love you.”
Another post which seemingly referenced his coming out to be his true self was also liked by Gaines.
Coming out as as a gay throuple hasn’t seemed to hurt their relationship one bit, however. Brawner has been freelancing since 2022 and some of his jobs have, according to his LinkedIn profile, has included “Writing personal essays for Magnolia Journal, exploring each issue’s theme through my own voice and perspective, while maintaining alignment with the brand’s editorial focus.”
Furthemore, his work was featured in the Summer 2025 Magnolia Journal, with two more features in the 2022 Fall Journal.
Rather than grieve she tolerates and celebrates. What a tragedy.
TV preachers gone gay ! What will they think of next !?!
🤢🤮😠
What some people throw away for fame and gain is tragic. Of course hgtv, or whatever network backs them are thrilled. They’ve been pushing gay couples in our face for years.
Oh look! A fauxlebrity supporting glbts.
Tammy Fay Bakker already did, the rest just followed.
This whole queer thing is so 2000s.
Exactly.
Was watching a film noir last night. 1945. One of the actors in it struck me as gay, looked him up, he was ‘never married’ which in Hollywood means to me he was likely gay.
The film industry has been loaded with homosexuals going back to the silent film days, and before that actors going back to the days of Greece, Rome...
That’s disappointing. Chip and Joanna never highlighted or featured gay couples on their shows. I surmised that this why they had to establish their own brand. But once again the gay mafia used every trick in the book to infiltrate and destroy.
Happy to say I know nothing about these people.
BARF!!!
so sick of Magnolia anything after my wife watching their show!
LOL throuple? Thrashing the greatest collective in the history of civilization. The family.
It profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world... But for Wales?
After a few years you could see they were quite full of themselves and were perhaps addicted to the celebrity-ness.
Now they and their ilk just tire me. I won't watch that crap.
Their shows “jumped the shark” several years ago. Maybe trying to grow audience like all of HGTV?
Every celebrity is gay until proven otherwise.
All about the capital Gaines. sad.
Yikes!
“This man became the third partner in the couple’s relationship, with the three forming a ‘throuple’ to raise the children together”.
Blind as bats. That is an abomination of the first degree.
Preaching the Bible to people. Don’t know the Bible.
