Chip Gaines Hit Back At Criticism For Featuring A Gay Couple On His And Joanna Gaines’s New Show


For some quick context, Chip and Joanna — who have been married since 2003, and previously hosted the popular HGTV show Fixer Upper — are devout Christians. Back in 2016, viewers learned that the pastor of their evangelical and mission-based church appeared to be against same-sex marriage.

This raised doubts about whether an LGBTQ+ couple would ever feature on Fixer Upper. Amid the discourse, HGTV said in a statement, “We don’t discriminate against members of the LGBT community in any of our shows. HGTV is proud to have a crystal clear, consistent record of including people from all walks of life in its series.”

Meanwhile, Chip and Joanna denied anti-gay allegations during a 2021 interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
