Chip & Joanna Gaines: Controversy Over LGBTQ+ Family on Magnolia Network
By Elizabeth Prata
Chip and Joanna Gaines are executive producers of “Back to the Frontier,” a Magnolia Network show which debuted July 10 featuring families living without modern amenities. Controversy arose over including a homosexual couple with surrogacy-born twins, prompting criticism from those who see it as an affront to the traditional values the Gaines’ claim to uphold, and a misleading portrayal of family.
Today all the buzz is about Magnolia Empire’s couple Chip & Joanna Gaines, who are executive producing a tv show for their Magnolia Network called Back to the Frontier, where couples/families sign up to live as the pioneers did in the 1800s without technology, electricity, or running water.
Many are shocked and upset that this seemingly wholesome Magnolia aw shucks couple chose to have a homosexual couple with their twin sons as one of the family contestants. Their twin sons were born through a surrogate.
I’m not shocked.
From a Gay Magazine, we read, “Joe and Jason [Hanna-Riggs] have been in the media since their son’s birth as a public-facing reminder of the existence of LGBTQ+ families. While much of their story has celebrated the love of raising their sons, the couple initially faced challenges related to legal recognition, as the boys were born in 2014, a year before Obergefell v. Hodges, a federal ruling that legalized same-sex marriages.“
I find it interesting that the Gaines couple chose THIS couple, the constantly “in the media”, “public facing” gay couple for the last 10 years…in my view it’s an example of how satan relentlessly promotes his agenda.
No, Chip, we are not “loving this”. No, Joanna, it is not “family time” well spent. The broadcast/promotion of sodomite couples, the idea that you can rent a womb and take the children away from the mother, the notion that raising these boys in a homosexual home is OK, a home that according to many news stories frequently leads to pederasty…it’s all an abominable sin.
Why am I not shocked? Because I did extensive research in 2016 when the Gaineses were ascending heights of popularity and seeming wholesomeness but I saw thought their cheerful aw shucks façade and the data proved they were just money grubbing lying hypocrites rebelling against Jesus. I had nothing but distaste for the Gaines couple and today’s sad news has proved it even harder.
Avoid this Magnolia Network/HBO Max series. it’s nothing but worldly brainwashing. Social experiment indeed, Chip. One that Jesus hates.

Looking at HGTV’s Fixer Upper Joanna Gaines’ testimony: Christianity, or Prosperity Gospel?
Several years ago a Waco business developer/realty/design/construction company generally named Magnolia run by Chip and Joanna Gaines were contacted to star in a HGTV fixer upper show. The first episode aired in April 2014 and has become an instant hit for the network. Ratings in the first season were through the roof. This phenomenon was largely attributed to the couple’s likability and charisma, good looks, and business savvy…
The hypocrisy of HGTV’s Chip and Joanna Gaines of ‘Fixer Upper’
With all the national attention given to folks who claim to be Christians, and have been given a platform to speak it or live it out for all to see, we should examine both their theology and their lifestyle to see if indeed what they are saying lines up with the Bible…
