Benham Twins loses Reality Show over Extremist Views



Yesterday, I'm sure you all heard about these twin brothers, David and Jason Benham. They were given a show on the HGTV network called, “Flip it Forward”. However, these brothers have an anti-gay and muslim past. Their father, Flip Benham is really something special.

Well, after the hoopla, HGTV decided not to move forward with the series. Folks rejoiced, folks were pissed. The brothers released this statement:
"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. 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."twin brothers will “leverage their good-natured sibling rivalry to help families find a fixer-upper and transform it into the dream home they never thought they could afford.”
Oh, well. I guess these boys learned that the world is changing very fast. These views are not welcomed and could hurt the networks. Plus, no one wants to go through another Duck Dynasty mess, right?

Sorry, twins. Change your tune.
