‘The Chosen’ Can’t Serve Both God And LGBT ‘Pride’ Activists
Maybe a pride flag on camera equipment shouldn’t discount the work 'The Chosen' is doing. The show’s unwillingness to do anything but endorse the flag on set, however, does.
"Fixer Upper" stars Chip and Joanna Gaines said recently that fans will never find a story about their messy breakup in some gossip magazine because divorce is not "an option" for them and they're in it "forever."
While celebrating the launch of their new television network, called "Magnolia Network," the beloved do-it-yourself couple sat down with Access Hollywood for a wide-ranging interview, during which the topic of calling it quits when things get hard came up.
Fame and the heat of the national spotlight can often be a source of anguish for couples, but the Gaineses, who are devoted Christians, assured fans that they're not wired that way.
"Has there ever been a moment for the two of you, where you thought you were going to throw in the towel?" asked Access Hollywood reporter Kit Hoover.
"One thing that I would say is that our superpower is that Jo and I are not quitters," Chip Gaines responded. "I mean, throwing in the towel is not something that, honestly, ever even comes to mind. And I would say that that happened pretty early in our relationship, where we just thought, that's interesting, that divorce or leaving one another is not really an option for us."
"That little foundation has definitely served us well because things have definitely been challenging, we're not perfect and we have issues and trials and errors just like anybody ... but relationally we're in it forever," he continued.
"This will never be a gossip mag [situation] that we don't make it," he added.

The strength and vibrancy of the Gaineses' marriage is a large part of what draws viewers to their various shows, and their devotion to each other is something that should be celebrated.
Nevertheless, even the Gaineses have at times become the targets of left-wing cancel culture. In 2016, BuzzFeed published a hit piece deriding the Gaineses for their membership in a church where homosexuality is considered a sin.
In response, Chip Gaines refused to take the bait, saying in a blog post that "we have got to learn to engage people who are different from us with dignity and with love."
"Joanna and I have personal convictions," he added. "One of them is this: we care about you for the simple fact that you are a person, our neighbor on planet earth. It's not about what color your skin is, how much money you have in the bank, your political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender, nationality, or faith. That's all fascinating, but it cannot add or take away from the reality that we're already pulling for you. We are not about to get in the nasty business of throwing stones at each other, don't ask us to cause we won't play that way."
Then just two months ago, the woke mob came for the couple again, this time attempting to cancel them for donating $1,000 to a local school board campaign. The candidate they supported, who happens to be Chip's sister, had made keeping critical race theory out of the curriculum a major theme of her campaign.

The woke mob came clamoring for Joanna and Chip Gaines again after he donated to the campaign of woman running for a local school board who also happens to be his sister.
Shannon Braun is running for a seat of the Grapevine-Colleyville ISD school board and has received $1,000 from the famous couple, as reported in the Dallas Morning News.
She is also vocally opposing the implementation of school curriculum that includes critical race theory. For that reason, the Gaines are being targeted for cancellation yet again.
"I will vote down anything and everything that further promotes critical race theory in our school district and actively work to remove all critical race theory," Braun says in a campaign video posted to her Facebook page.
Some headlines, like the one at The Hill, imply that the couple donated for the sake of defeating critical race theory. That led to scorn from many on Twitter against the Gaines.
"F*** TV stars Chip and Joanna Gaines and the house they rehabbed in on. I'll bet you 25 of my cow pies that neither of the Gainses can tell you accurately what Critical Race Theory actually is," responded one critic.
"Wow. Johanna... really?!? ...during a time when hate crimes against Asian Americans have gone through the roof? Disgusting," replied another.
"I'm done watching their boring ass Waco show….$600 lamps….kiss my grits. She think she gets the White AMEX due to him but she will be shopped by security at Lowe's like the rest of us," said another.
The Gaines have been a high value target for cancellation from the left since it was reported in 2016 that the church they attended taught that homosexuality was a sin. The couple survived that controversy and have only gained in popularity since they refused to cave in to the woke mob.
The Gaines are scheduled to launch their own network, called Magnolia, on July 15.
