HGTV doesn't run/air a show because the guys on it don't support homosexuality.


So once again the people that said homosexuality is a private act are proven to be a bunch of phonies.

The left will tolerate all and any ideas, as long as they agree with the left.

OP, your thread title and your first sentence are both factually inaccurate. Your thread is closed until you provide factually accurate substitutes.

Cry moar.

 

[Vaux]

Yeah, all the pro gay bullshit just keeps getting deeper and deeper.

 

[JManInPhoenix]

There were straight guys on HGTV?

 

[Newell Steamer]

You mean like how Duck Dynasty was forced off the air? Oh wait - they weren't.

Just like these guys and the Duck Dynasty "red necks" have the right to voice their opinion, then so does A&E and HGTV to do what they want; keep the homophobes (like in Duck Dynasty) or get rid of the them (like this show).

 

[Londo_Jowo]

Oh well, that's the way the cookie crumbles.

Funny how TV channels make decisions based on what brings them in the most money without having to deal with unwanted drama.

 

[Retro Rob]

Cry moar.

Well, as long as you're ok with the reverse happening, you're right.

Hopefully the brothers will sue HGTV for violating their civil rights.

I'm thinking the vast majority of Christians don't give a rats ass if someone is gay
These guys seem to believe that what they believe is the one true way, and want even gov to follow their way
Thank God for separation of state and religion, and these guys score the points they need to get to heaven for just trying
A different Christian sect would believe these guys these guys deserve hell

I probably would have pulled the plug based on the fact that they are fucking nuts and pretty much all their views would not be acceptable to HGTV's viewership. The network should probably do a little more vetting in the future.

Some tidbits:

David Benham led a prayer rally, Charlotte 7:14, organized with his twin brother outside the 2012 Democratic National Convention to protest “abortion on demand,” “no-fault divorce,” “pornography and perversion,” “adultery,” and “demonic ideologies” taught at public schools and universities.

David Benham serves on the board of the anti-LGBT Coalition of Conscience and has referred to Muslims as “the enemy attacking” America.

“The difference between Islam and Christianity: Islam takes life and enslaves it,” he said. “Christianity lays its life down and sets you free.”

In a 2012 blog post on Operation Save America’s website, David Benham compared the fight against marriage to opposition to Nazi Germany.

David Benham also suggested in the Christian Post that support for marriage equality was the result of psychological issues.

Just too add, these guys are activists, which is different than just holding this as a personal viewpoint.

On those grouds, I can understand the decision.

I'll bet you your next zoloft prescription that there is language in the termination section of their contract that includes a reference to doing/saying things that reflect badly on the network.

Because its more than just his views he is an activist. That would probably not go well with many of HGTV viewers.

Right Wing Watch reported Tuesday that David Benham had led a prayer rally outside of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC in 2012, in which he told conservative radio host Janet Mefferd that America’s Christian majority must repent for tolerating “homosexuality and its agenda that is attacking the nation” and “demonic ideologies tak[ing] our universities and our public school systems.” He also said his brother had joined him in the prayer protest. The group also claimed David leads protests outside of abortion clinics.

Doing or saying things that reflect badly on the network would be a matter of opinion, would it not?

Was there a poll or something that HGTV viewers must only have pro gay beliefs? How do you know what HGTV viewers want?

 

[PokerGuy]

I don't have a problem with the decision, the network can decide what kind of views they want to air etc, that's up to them. Of course, the same should hold true if the shoe is on the other foot, but something tells me that would not be the case and the politically correct idiots would be out with pitchforks and torches.

You forgot Duck Dynasty - they remained untouched, still have their jobs and still have their show, merchandise, followers, viewers (the ones that didn't care or agreed with what was said) and supporters.

Some tidbits:

HGTV isn't paying them to air their views on Political/Social issues. It is paying them to talking about their views on flipping houses.

Interesting that apparently liberals don't want to watch shows about house flipping that contains people that disagree with them.

How tolerant and open minded!

Duck Dynasty doesn't have anything to do with this, and it's not on HGTV.

But you have to realize that political activism can reflect badly on the organization.

Would you expect a Christian organization to employ an atheist who actively supports the end of all religious beliefs, and publicly shares his views that all religious people are ignorant?

 

[Newell Steamer]

It's a TV show, where the folks on them said/did something that viewer and the public did not agree with and demanded they lose their show.

They are the same - yet, each outcome does NOT follow what you are claiming; you have to have a liberal view, in order to keep your job on TV.

That is a lie.

Since they signed the contract they subject themselves to the network's interpretation of what those things may be. If HGTV decides they are no longer in line with their goals and values then its termination time. Media companies build in great latitude for themselves in all these contracts since one incident can cause enormous PR and financial damage.

 

[Vaux]

Totally a false analogy. The proper equivalent would be, if these guys hated homes and gardens and and actively spoke against them and HGTV was forced to hire them.

Gay views and homes and gardens are not related.

Ok I see what you're saying. Just as long it's clear that what happened with Duck Dynasty and what is happening here is not related.

 

[Newell Steamer]

OP - I suggest you change your title; Want to work? Support gays. Liberal Litmus test targets christians does not hold water.

Duck Dynasty is solid fact and proof that you do not have to support gays in order to keep your work.

Srsly this.
