No one ever stated that transgender individuals were pedophiles. Get the facts straight. The issue was raised over whether or not individuals who are pedophiles would claim to be transgendered to get access to possible victims.

I am a bit confused. The G&Ls want everyone to understand they have a right to their beliefs but they don't want to understand or support how others feel or what they believe in. I've always been taught if you want respect, you have to earn respect. If something is totally against what The Word teaches us, how are we to have respect for that? I watch the Duggers all the time. They are Christians others should strive to be. They are about love and gentleness and being a servant to others. If you are so worried about someone not liking what you are doing or how you are living maybe you really don't want someone reminding you what you already know is wrong.

DO NOT CANCEL THE SHOW. HATERS WILL ALWAYS HATE REGARDLESS OF WHO WE ARE, OR WHAT OUR RELIGION IS, OR EVEN WHAT OUR OPINIONS ARE. I WILL CONTINUE TO WATCH & LOVE THIS SHOW.

That is actually not true Kevin R. They donated $10,000 to 3 different people's campaigns - $2000 to one & $4000 each to the other 2. The ordinance that the LGBTQ has referred to & is misinterpreting to you and everyone else protects against discrimination for employment and housing & real estate transactions for with respect to the race, ethnicity, national origin, age, gender, gender identity, gender expression, familial status, marital status, socioeconomic background, religion, sexual orientation, disability or veteran status. It is NOT strictly limited to gender expression or gender identity as the LGBTQ and media have put out there.

Speaking as a Bisexual woman, married to a man, mother & grandmother... I love your show and I have watched your family grow on TV for the last 11 years.. I would hate it if the world looses what your family has to offer... Your show doe's not cram any of your beliefs or how you live onto anyone.. And you have a right to edit or even preview any comments an or pictures you chose to be on your website. And sorry but no one should have a gripe about it. Your page your choice... Your beliefs, your choice no one elses.. I have never had one comment I have posted ever kicked off your page... Because I do respect your families beliefs an the choices you make for your family.. Just because we don't see eye to eye on everything doesn't mean my beliefs in God's love for me & my family is any different.. People need to just live an let live an you are doing that... You're not saying hey, I hate you or dislike you because you chose to live differently than how our family does.. So seriously if your show gets canceled... I can promise I don't care how good a show looks that is advertized on TLC... Just like A&E found out, they will lose viewers at least 3, from my family because Myself , my 12 yr old daughter & 7 yr old grandson that always watch your show with me together as a family.. Along with quite a few other good family shows on TLC... Will no longer watch any of them.. And TLC, Honey Boo Boo is definitely not one we ever watch.. I have been a TLC viewer, since 1983. I don't see the show being canceled because it does have the viewership that generates along with the other shows that have a great number of followers like My five wives.. in the end I would be very surprised if it is canceled... I could definitely see why Honey Boo Boo was, because of the mothers choices esp considering it was her child that was abused. But the Duggars are in no way abusing anyone with their show, and they have never denied how they feel an or their religious beliefs. And as I do if it is

You lose a lot of credibility with your poorly written post. I can't take you seriously with your lazy abbreviations, obvious misspellings and poorly constructed sentences.

Can't we all just get along? How about not forcing a business to bake a cake or photograph a gay wedding if they don't want to? How about getting out of the way of gay marriage. After all, 60% of heterosexual marriages end in divorce; shouldn't gay marriages enjoy the same privilege? Believe anything you want in your own house but don't force your beliefs on others. You have freedom of speech if you're peaceful, even speech that some don't approve of. If you don't like homeschooling, don't do it. The Duggars pay taxes just like the rest of us but they don't take handouts from the govt. If you don't like it if a business won't bake a cake for you, find another business that will. You have freedom of association.

LGBT community wants respect and acceptance for their beliefs but they make a big fuss when someone doesn't agree with their beliefs. I'm sick and tired of hearing them complain. You wan't respect and acceptance then respect and accept that other people are not going to agree with you. If you don't like what you see then change the damn channel and stfu. If they donate money to a cause you don't agree with well guess what it's their money and they get to do with it whatever the hell they want.

I believe in God and the Christian faith. I have even watched the Duggar's show a couple of times. I don't watch it regularly though, but it is interesting and I do agree with some of the same things, but not everything that they do. What I do not understand is people that do not believe in what the Duggar's stand for or like what the Duggar's stand for why do they care if the show is on TV? All they need to do is change the channel or skip over that channel when the show is on. If I don't like something that is on TV, I just choose not to watch that show or that channel on that particular night. Grow up people and learn a little bit of tolerance.....we all have to learn to live in this world together and learn to get along.

The gay community isn't trying to force everyone to accept them. We just want the same rights we r all entitled to as human beings. there is no "gay lifestyle". U so called Christians throw around these passive aggressive words and insult our intelligence because we c right thru it. It's blatant ignoranve. I don't c where gay ppl r trien to force anything on u. When's the last time gay ppl came knocking on ur door trying to shove their beliefs on u? I'll wait ... Yea didn't think so, but I've had bible thumpers come knocking on my door twice in the past 3 days with a whole lot to say about their beliefs, so who's forcing their beliefs on who? U so called Christians aren't very Christian at all. U hide ur hate behind ur beliefs and play victim when ur ignorance is called out for what it is, ignorance . Gay ppl don't care what ur beliefs are, but when ur beliefs oppress us and do us harm and u try to paint us in a negative light, we r perfectly justified in calling u out on it . Get a new arguement and stop using ur same tired cop outs. It's older than well jesus. There is no gay lifestyle, style is acquired and style changes and and how one chooses to style themselves is a choice. Life on the other hand is given but not asked for, life is life , it just is. There isn't a gay lifestyle, just gay life and its been opressed , tortured and murdered because of the hate ppl hide behind their beliefs. U expect us to say, oh sure its ok its their beliefs. So if u choose to b victim and cry and hide behind ur beliefs, that's fine. We r not wrong for calling bullshit, bullshit. The world is progressing, the majority of ppl support gay rights and don't support ppl who would do us harm and paint us in a negative light .if TLC wants to b successful and respected and not lose tons of business and opportunities in the new age , then they will stand on the right aide of this government. Just look at the signatures on this petition and the signatures calling for the cancellation

I get tired of people making blanket statements. One person could say something negative and suddenly it is considered ALL. We are all individuals whether gay or straight and our opinions are individual as well. Because i am Christian means i believe in God's law not people's law and the way i interpret the Bible could be different then another Christians interpretation. The Duggars have just as much right to Freedom Of Speech as Gay's do. In the end should be peace not bullying or bashing or just being negative. I am not your judge but i know whom my judge is whether you agree with me or not. I too believe being gay is not right for ME. But i will still respect you but you should respect me as well. Agree to Disagree in Peace.

Christians have been tortured and murdered for centuries simply because they are Christians. Michelle's statement did not call out the transgendered What she said was ( "I don't believe the citizens of Fayetteville would want males with past child predator convictions that claim they are female to have a legal right to enter private areas that are reserved for women and girls.") This could be the creep living down the road who is a child molester that decides what a great way to get my next victim. If they open the bathrooms to transgender males WHO is going to make sure these men are indeed transgendered and not just there to have a looky loo or worse.

Marriage is a contract given to a man and wife by GOD. If you want a state approved union then go make your own. Stop stomping on what we have. We love pleasing GOD and being good. Sure, we struggle with being good, but that is what life is about - learning to better oneself. Not what you are doing by going against good grain.

Anne, I have a JD and MBA and my grammar is awful. BTW, I believe your comment would be considered a "run on sentence". I also noticed several commas out of place. No one likes the Grammar Police, so give it rest if you can't add anything more substantial to the discussion.

Someone made a comment about the Duggars contributing $$$$ to support traditional marriage. But the LGBTQ community as well as Hollywood celebs donate $$$$ to fight traditional marriage as it stood in 2008! I have watched their show for years & they have never said a nasty word about homosexuality / gay marriage on it.

Maybe we should plan marches & heterosexual pride weekends... because that is what we believe? Oh, that's right, we can't because if we do, it is racist.

>You believe God is sexist??? That he intends for women to just be breaders and cleaners?
