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

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.

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.

Good grief. What's wrong with promoting one's conservative Christian values? Christian values include the love and toleration of Gays & Lesbians as children of God, but not LGBTQ lifestyles - or heterosexual lifestyles for that matter - that sink into an immoral sewer that destroys the temple of God within our souls. The fact is that there are a steadily growing and significant number of Lesbians & Gays who believe exactly the same thing. Just as conservative Christians have the right to choose their TV shows, no one is asking Gays & Lesbians who despise conservative Christian values to tune into the show.

The Duggar's have every right to raise their children as they see fit and to believe as they wish. Why is it if you don't agree with gay marriage you are seen as bad? They have never shown hatred towards any group and freedom of speech gives them the right to believe and speak on any issues they feel important to them.

I was very disturbed to hear that arguably the most wholesome show on television is somehow what is now offending people. I thought of you guys while my husband and I were reading John last night. It was quite apropos. Jesus states in John 15:18, "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you”. This is so true Duggar family. I know you will not be discouraged because you know this and that is does not matter what people of this world believe because it is only the opinion of the Lord that matters. I am concerned for this world and its growing war on Christianity and religion. Your family has been an inspiration and a ray of hope through the darkness of our times. Thank you.

I have always believed in equal protection and treatment under the law, that is what our Constitution dictates. For that reason, I have always supported gay marriage...even if the religion I was brought up in wont accept the lifestyle. I am apalled that any group would attempt to stifle First Amendment rights to excercise freedome of religion by intimidation and censorship of corporations and networks.....I will not be intimidated to silence my beliefs. However, Duggars are wrong as well. We live in a society which has many beliefs and the family is trying to force their religious beliefs to become goverment mandated....I understand why Gay rights groups are angry...neither should be attemptng to deny anyone their equal treatment under the law....

You don't need religion to have morals. If you can't determine right from wrong, then you lack empathy, not religion.
God bless us all. God loves us all . We r all equal in gods eyes and he made us as we r. There just isn't an other way, that is the only way that's right. And if u claim to follow Christ u know the truth of these words. God didn't right the bible, man wrote the bible, god might b perfect but man is terribly flawed. I pray for a better day for us all., my brother's and sisters.

Bible says “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets"
“This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you"
Yes they have a right to freedom of speech but they shouldn't pick and choose what they express from their religion. If they want to preach what the bible says then they need to actually live by what the bible says. They don't agree with the homosexual lifestyle and that's fine by me because there are lots of people who don't agree with theirs. The church I was raised in was built on love, the love for Jesus and the love for one another. I was taught not to discriminate against anyone and people who are in the public eye should use that platform to spread the word of love not discrimation against people because of the way they believe or lifestyle they choose. Saying your a Christian and you raise your kids with good Christian beliefs and then spearheading something like this sounds like bigotry to me.

I have watched the Duggars since their first TLC special and I have always thought they were a special family. I am not of their faith but I don't need to be. They haven't asked me to be. They have actually, in all the years I've been watching, not tried to acclimate anyone to their religion and they haven't talked about it a lot other than to explain why they homeschool or why they don't cut their hair or some other tenets of their faith. I admire them. Their chldren seem happy and well-adjusted, helpful and kind. I know the organization Josh went to work for in DC and its views are the complete opposite of mine but I know that for reasons OTHER than the Duggars. I've never seen Josh try to initiate anyone to believe the way he does. As far as I'm concerned, the gay couple who put their picture on the page KNEW they would get the reaction they did - they were poking at the Duggars and they got poked back. I see NO reason for their show to be taken off TLC - it's interesting, can be informative, and shows what family members who love each other act like - how can there be anything wrong with that????

TLC can support diversity by allowing the Duggars show to continue... OR they can lose their spine and bow to the demands of the militant LGBT minority and cancel the show. A no-brainer to keep the show!

Oh my gosh! Here we go again. Christians are asked to tolerate all sorts of stuff that goes against our beliefs but no one's willing to tolerate us. If you don't like the show, don't watch it. I'm not a fan of Sci-fi but I'm not starting a petition to ban Star Trek. My 16 year old & I LOVE watching this show together.

I thought that this country was founded on freedom of speech and opinion. I agree with the Duggars because I believe in traditional marriage as well. As human beings, there will always be other lifestyles and practices of other human beings that we do not agree with. That does not mean that the person(s) who disagree hate the other people. The Duggars did not launch an attack on the LGBT community. Is the LGBT community going to say that everyone who does not agree with them is practicing discrimination. The LGBT compare discrimination against them to discrimination against the black community. It is discrimination but it is not the same thing. Only a Black gay person who has been discriminated against knows what that feels like.

Disagreeing with someone is not equivalent to hating them. God doesn't hate those who sin, because we all sin. God Loves the Sinner He just Hates our Sin, as in the sins we commit..There's a big difference. I would hate to see this show be cancelled because of people's opinions. It's astonishing we can show scandalous material, but the moment the name Jesus or the phrase I believe in God are uttered and those ideals expressed people go into an uproar. But, we are fine with people physically assaulting one another on reality tv. I respect the Duggar family and I hope to see them stay.
