Gay Fascism On HGTV

HGTV is popular with the gays, so more than a few were scratching their heads when the cable channel announced a pilot featuring two brothers, one of whom—David Benham—has distinctly anti-gay views, as Right Wing Watch reported:

Later, Benham told Mefferd that America’s Christian majority must repent for tolerating abortion rights, no-fault divorce, legal pornography, “homosexuality and its agenda that is attacking the nation” and the “demonic ideologies” that he says have taken over the education system.

After a backlash on the brothers' Facebook page, HGTV cancelled Flip It Forward, which prompted its own backlash with Fox star Megyn Kelly agreeing with Family Research Counil head Tony Perkins that unlike gay people (!), the rights of Christians aren't as "protected and recognized in this country.” On Thursday, CNN’s Reliable Sources host Brian Stelter suggested this could be a thing and that Americans might perceive HGTV’s decision as a sign of intolerance toward intolerance.

“There is a risk, though, I think, of matching perceived intolerance with more intolerance,” Stelter said. “If you are someone at home who’s looking at this thinking, why are they taking away these brothers' TV show simply because of what they believe in the personal life, the answer—part of the answer to that—is diversity in the media.”

Luckily, NPR media critic Eric Deggans jumped in before the nodding CNN host closed out the segment. He disagreed with Stelter, saying that if the prospective hosts had expressed the same views about African-Americans instead of gays they wouldn’t even be having the discussion, nor would the brothers be able to find another network employer.

People are entitled to their views, and when they're bigoted and hateful, regardless of them trying to hide behind their religion if they make those views public, the public will react.

"Next on the Home Gardening Network we are going to show you how to plant some lovely tulips all while prohibiting gays from marriage equality!"

People need to remember freedom of speech

People seem to think freedom of speech means you can say whatever you want without consequences.. Just like with Donald Sterling, you are free to say whatever you want, and everyone else is free to respond however they wish, within reason.

This 10 trillion times over.

Freedom of Speech was something basically made to be so you could speak out about the government/establishment and not be prosecuted/imprisoned. Notice how if you say, speak out about Putin in Russia, you'll get the crap beaten out of you and thrown into a Gulag. in America worst case, people will just roll their eyes at you.

Freedom of speech isn't so you can be a hateful ignorant jagoff without consequence.

I saw that.

/slap

I'm still trying to figure out what this had to do with fascism, or why one things hate speech should be protected.

You call the Undefeated of the East a LIAR!?

How about some electro-beer therapy?

Electro-Stout therapy and we have a deal

Remember, everytime the gays boycott something it's just them oppressing good Christian folk.

'Jack Burkman, head of the Washington, D.C. lobbying firm J.M. Burkman & Assoc. who is seeking to ban gays from the NFL, says he intends to build a national coalition to boycott any football franchise that picks openly gay football player Michael Sam in the NFL Draft, which starts Thursday at Radio City Music Hall in New York City.

"The NFL, like most of the rest of American business, is about to learn that when you trample the Christian community and Christian values there will be a terrible financial price to pay," said Burkman.'
