Anti-LGBT twins compare reality TV show cancellation to martyrdom, D-Day, ‘Braveheart’

8. No, it is called capitalism and the "free market".....

The free market has spoken and it doesn't want you to appear in this reality show.

HGTV recognized the controversial views of the hosts of "Flip it Forward" would impact the show's success. Many of the show's potential viewers are gay men and women. They would associate the show and HGTV as being at least passively anti-gay.

So HGTV took a business decision. It wouldn't surprise me to see the show appear but with different hosts.

While as a gay man I find their comments totally insane, they have a 1st amendment right to express their beliefs. But don't consider it an infringement on your religious liberty if the marketplace says we don't want to see you on television in the capacity of hosts of a show about flipping fixer-upers.

I didn't even know about these two and when the news broke that HGTV was canceling their show I happened to have the TV on but muted and was on the phone. So all I saw were these two brothers. My gaydar went off immediately. I assumed until I later saw and heard the report that these two were gay men and the controversy was about having two gay twins hosting the show!!!
