"Fan" backlash, huh? Not pressure from the gay Gestapo which seems to control all personal expression these days?
Network had announced new series “Flip It Forward” in April
HGTV has canceled a pilot hosted by twin brothers with a history of preaching against homosexuality, abortion and divorce following backlash from fans.
“HGTV has decided not to move forward with the Benham Brothers’ series,” the network wrote on its Facebook page Wednesday
Twins David and Jason Benham were scheduled to premiere “Flip It Forward” in October, which would have focused on a new deserving family every episode transforming a fixer-upper into their dream home.
But the devout Christian brothers have a history of supporting their church's views against gay rights and reproductive choice. In 2012, the Benhams rallied in Charlotte, N.C. to support a constitutional amendment within the state to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman...
The twins are sons of controversial evangelical minister Flip Benham, whose abortion clinic protests were a part of fans’ backlash on social media.
Benham brothers: ´If faith cost us TV show, so be it´
The Benham brothers issued a statement early Thursday saying they are "saddened" by HGTV's decision.
"The first and last thought on our minds as we begin and end each day is; have we shined Christ's light today? Our faith is the fundamental calling in our lives, and the centerpiece of who we are. As Christians we are called to love our fellow man. Anyone who suggests that we hate homosexuals or people of other faiths is either misinformed or lying. Over the last decade, we've sold thousands of homes with the guiding principle of producing value and breathing life into each family that has crossed our path, and we do not, nor will we ever discriminate against people who do not share our views."
The brother also said:
"We were saddened to hear HGTV's decision. With all of the grotesque things that can be seen and heard on television today you would think there would be room for two twin brothers who are faithful to our families, committed to biblical principles, and dedicated professionals. If our faith costs us a television show then so be it."
Here's hoping HGTV gets deluged with letters and emails informing them their network will no longer be watched - ANY program - and that they in turn lose tons of money and sink financially.

We're almost there . . .
Yup ....
You gotta give the enemy within credit for patience and persistence. They've been working on this for decades.
We were given warnings by Sutton, Birch, McCarthy, Bezmenov to name a few. They were all successfully labeled paranoid, conspiracy theory, tin foil hatters.
