The HGTV stars have had a rough week.
HGTV stars Joanna Gaines, left, and Chip Gaines, pose in the press room on night one of the Creative Arts Emmy Awards in Los Angeles on Sept. 3, 2022. Few couples on television are as beloved as Chip and Joanna Gaines, but it might not look like it on social media right now because folks are going after them.
But before we get to what’s being thrown at the popular couple, folks are probably wondering exactly what has everyone so worked up. Well, it turns out, the “Fixer Upper” stars have drawn criticism for casting a gay couple in their new show called “Back to the Frontier.” the show follows three families in the Canadian Rockies as they work their way through the summer without technology. The newspaper said the show is “meant to mimic the lifestyle of 1880s homesteaders.” One of the couples, per the Morning News, is Dallas’ Joe Riggs and Jason Hanna, who are set up in a 600-square-foot cabin with their 10-year-old twin sons, Ethan and Lucas. They are slated to stay in the cabin for eight weeks.“While we are to love people, we should love them enough to tell them the truth of God’s Word,” he continued. “His Word is absolute truth. God loves us, and His design for marriage is between one man and one woman. Promoting something that God defines as sin is in itself sin.”“Talk, ask , listen … maybe even learn,” he wrote on X. “Too much to ask of modern American Christian culture. Judge 1st, understand later/never. It’s a sad Sunday when ‘non believers’ have never been confronted with hate or vitriol until they are introduced to a modern American Christian.” That was not the end of it as folks continued to try to pile on the couple, and Chip Gaines was there for it, responding to many. “This is sad and disappointing, because Chip and Joanna Gaines have been very influential in the evangelical community,” the American Family Association posted on X. “Moreover, in the past, they have stood firm on the sanctity of marriage regardless of the personal cost that has entailed. We aren’t sure why the Gaines have reversed course, but we are sure of this: Back to the Frontier promotes an unbiblical view of human sexuality, marriage and family — a view no Christian should embrace.” “Perhaps Chip and Joanna Gaines were never who they sold to the public,” Kira Davis posted on X. “Perhaps the reason Oprah loved them in the first place is because they were more like her than us. Perhaps we’re finding out nothing in mainstream entertainment is real. It’s all product. So are the Gaines’.”“This tweet made me search to see the awful thing Chip and Joanna Gaines had done,” Mike Creef wrote while resharing Kira Davis’ post. “The mental gymnastics MAGA Christians have to do is Olympic level.” “FRANKLIN GRAHAM: God hates Chip and Joanna Gaines for recognizing that gay people exist and for their war on traditional marriage,” Dr. Kevin M. Young wrote on X. “ALSO FRANKLIN GRAHAM: Donald Trump is a model Christian, does God’s will, and Christians must support him no matter what.” “Me, googling what horrific thing Chip and Joanna Gaines must’ve done to draw so much hate,” Jenn Morson wrote on X. “Oh. They dared have a family with two dads on their show. Gay people exist. Get over yourselves.”Country music star says ‘my heart is broken’ after crash kills womanCountry music legend recovering from heart surgery.
