HGTV Pulls Flip It Forward After Benham Brothers Anti-Gay Controversy
E-Online ^ | 05/07/2014 | Tierney Bricker

Flip it Forward, a real estate series set to debut in October, has been pulled by the network after Right Wing Watch reported that the twin brothers, David and Jason Benham, at the center of the house flipping show were anti-gay activists.

...

Right Wing Watch reported on Tuesday that in 2012, David had led a prayer rally outside of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte N.C., where he told a conservative radio show that it was necessary to "stop homosexuality and its agenda that is attacking the nation" and "demonic ideologies tak[ing] our universities and our public school systems."

...

The twins are the sons of Flip Benham, a conservative activist who is the head of Operation Save America, an abortion-clinic protest group.

So this is just like Duck Dynasty and the FireFox CEO. Basically, these guys are pro-life, but the hanging offense is opposition to homosexuality. They are the sons of Flip Benham of Operation Save America who is a radical anti-abortion advocate (radical in a good way).

Basically opposition to homosexuality, public or private, hard truth or soft spoken, is now the equivalent of racism or pederasty, something that brands you as an untouchable. Politics reflects culture, once pop culture has been cleansed of "homophobia", the politicians will cave, many already have.

I know that decorators tend to be gay, but still you would think a channel about the home and gardening would have atleast a moderately conservative viewership. A failure to boycott and raise a stink will reinforce this trend.

God is still in control.

The Gay Mafia is now exactly what they once decried in the so-called "Communist Witch Hunts".

has been pulled by the network after Right Wing Watch reported that the twin brothers, David and Jason Benham, at the center of the house flipping show were anti-gay activists.

Red Channels was not a government publication. It was a privately published journal keeping tabs on Communists and Communist sympathizers in the entertainment industry.

They have their own "conservative baiting" watchdog publication now.

You don’t support their agenda, no TV show.

And some people still don’t see ant media bias

I think the media bias is secondary to how these people swoop down like a flock of harpies on anyone who protests their lifestyle.

Academia, establishment media, historians, and politicians are all silent on the new Hollywood blacklist.

F the Commie Rat Bastards who sought to tear down this nation.

The Media Bias is because of gay newsrooms with numbers far greater than “normal” population.

They run an agenda and seek to oust anyone who doesn’t tow the party line.

The networks should just require everyone on the air to be publically sodomized...

It’s the only way to be sure...

I really enjoy the program “House Hunters” but these days the politically correct HGTV features gay couples on a regular basis. Since I record the episodes to watch at a different time, I can simply delete those episodes.
I doubt if writing to the network would make any difference. These are the same people who dumped Paula Deen in spite of a large protest.

“You don’t support their agenda, no TV show.”

This is why the most important thing we can do is to build up some other cultural outlets.

Glenn Beck or somebody should jump on this.

A LOT of conservative people own houses, cook and like animals.

I can see an entire network populated by these guys, Paula Deen, et al.

NO OVERT POLITICS, just good clean fun.

You know, like the way the MSM has taken over the LIV’s brains for lo these many years.
