I'd imagine they denounce the firing pretty vehemently.

Why do we have to bow to the desires of the LGBT minority? What gives them the right to determine what programming a company provides? We are told that this show was all set to run, at least until somebody started raising a stink about the Christian beliefs and activities of these two, whose only crime is that (like Brendan Eich) they support traditional standards of morality and decency and believe homosexuality is sin?

The anti-Christian Left has become the American Taliban, or (as Jack Cashill called them, the neo-Puritans).

Remind me how you're being treated unfairly...

It's on our money, in our Pledge of Allegiance, and all over public places. You can't get elected dogcatcher without being a practicing Christian.

But the second someone *might* obtain the same legal rights that you have, you want to pick up your ball and run home like a 7-year-old.

Get OVER yourselves.

The Christian right has become the drama queen of America, continually feigning victimhood where none exists.

Probably a lot, I am sure it would be all over Fox News and any other form of right wing media source.

I thought you right wingers were all about liberty. Should HGTV be forced to keep the bigots on payroll?
"Gay bashers?" So, now we define anyone who opposes homosexuality as a lifestyle, and supports traditional values as "gay bashers?"

But we refuse to call people like yourself "Christian bashers" (which you are). There are none more bigoted than those in the LGBT 'community' against Christians (and Jews). Such hypocrites!

They don't determine that, private companies make that decision. You realize that HG stands for Home and Garden, so there is a good chance that the channel has a large gay audience, and it makes no sense to upset one's audience.

And what does "traditional standards of morality and decency" mean? Who decided what these standards are and what legal reason is there that says they should be followed? Last I checked it isn't immoral or a sin to be homosexual.

So if these brothers said that Christianity is a sin, do you think you would be freaking out over them getting fired?

Yep! And if one doesn't change their thinking to conform with the LGBT bigots, they will ruin your life (Brendan Eich).

The networks are doing what makes them money. When your pockets are as deep, they'll chase after you. End of story.
