| Jason and David Benham |
Home and Garden Television (HGTV) has just canceled one of their new do-it-yourself shows called Flip It Forward after its twin-brother hosts, Jason and David Benham, were outed as Christian conservatives who are against gay marriage and abortion.
The home renovation show focused on improving families' houses had been scheduled to air in the network's fall line-up, but after leftist media sources highlighted the hosts' past opposition to abortion and gay marriage, the network immediately responded to the pressure by pulling the plug.
So what were the twin brothers' great sins that got Right Wing Watch to publish an exposé denouncing them as "religious extremists?" Engaging in activism for their beliefs.
In 2012, David Benham led a prayer rally outside the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina titled, "Charlotte 7:14," which he claimed was dedicated to stopping "homosexuality and its agenda that is attacking the nation” and “demonic ideologies tak[ing] our universities and our public school systems."
“We don’t realize that, okay, if 87 percent of Americans are Christians and yet we have abortion on demand, we have no-fault divorce, we have pornography and perversion, we have homosexuality and its agenda that is attacking the nation, we have adultery,” David Benham said in an interview with Janet Mefferd after the prayer event. “We even have allowed demonic ideologies to take our universities and our public school systems while the church sits silent and just builds big churches.”
