Benham brothers lose HGTV show

RE: Benham brothers lose HGTV show
(May 10, 2014 at 10:04 am)FlyingNarwhal Wrote: There's so many things I hate about this, just like with the Duck Dynasty show. First is HGTV's pretend morality, they knew the brothers' views before this became public, but are now going to pretend like these two are heinous because having a connection to them hurts their bottom line. The second thing though is this idea that it is alright for people to be punished for personal views. I agree with them that their is a gay agenda being pushed (not necessarily by gay people) and if you don't accept their view you deserve to burn in their eyes.

I'm not really sure what you mean, when you say "gay agenda" as though the reaction that gay people and their allies are having isn't justified. It's simple cause and effect: these people expressed that they believe that a certain subset of the populace deserve to be killed for something they can't control, and for a lot of right thinking people, that's a really fucked up and hateful position to take. Their distaste at those statements, and the fact that they voiced them, seems entirely justified to me. In turn, the network opted to take them off air rather than take the hit to their reputation, which is just business. Some people were dissatisfied with the product the network was producing, they complained, and the producers reacted.

I guarantee you we wouldn't be hearing any shit about "the black agenda" if someone on a popular tv show had come out and said that all black people deserve to die, and got fired for it.

And to be clear, this isn't being "punished" for having views, either; nobody has the right to their own tv show.
