Keep the Duggars on TLC

I am so over this issue. First, Dan Cathey with Chick Fil A was called out for his stand on Marriage being between a man and a woman, as it says in the Bible. Chick Fil A was boycotted. Then, it was Phil with Duck Dynasty! They petitioned for that show to be removed and look what a mistake that network made! Now, the Duggars! Just because we, as Christians, take a stand on what we believe the Bible says about marriage does not mean that we are judgmental, bigoted or racist! I just cant believe that this all started with people having an issue over a picture of newlywed Jesse and Ben sharing a kiss and deeming it inappropriate! Hello.... Married Couple here! Yet we have shows like the Kardashians (just one example of many) that have no morals or filter... Then you have a dad who defends his daughter by stating that marriage is a beautiful thing between a husband and wife (that's male and female-key words there) and to share your pics of you and your spouse kissing.... Now why would a same sex couple go on their Facebook KNOWING that they are a VERY conservative family and post pictures of them in a kiss?? To me, it was purposely just asking for this whole thing to happen to try and knock another Wholesome programming off the air. That is where the intolerance lies.... with them.

I love the hole Duggar family! There is nothing wrong for standing up for what you believe in and fallowing your faith! I think more people could learn a thing or two from the Duggars! I would be so do disappointed with TLC if they canseld the show! I'm sure the Duggar family doesn't hate those that like the same sex. They just don't agree with it. Because they see marriage between a man and women only doesn't mean they are hatters against the gay communitie. It just makes them people that follow the word of Christ and people who follow their own faith and region! I'm a Christian and I have friends that are gay and friends that aren't. I think some people have a lot of time on their hands and so the easiest thing to do sitting behind a computer or a phone is to hate on other people and I think that's a big part of what's going on!

We have to be tolerant to those with non-Christian values but we can't be tolerant to those who hold Christian values? All the Duggars did was act in accord with their faith. To expect otherwise is ignorant at best, a hate crime at the worst. I hope each of the children get their own shows.

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.

There is an other petition at lifesite that has 175,000 signatures for the Duggars everyone should sign it too.

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.

This is the third petition I've seen for the Duggars. The one that has the most signatures is https://www.lifesitenews.com/petitions/defend-the-duggar-family I think it would be more effective if we all collaborated on the same petition.

I Love their show!!!!! I support them 100%

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.

That is their right. I feel they have the right to do with their money what ever they want. I signed the petition to keep them on the air. I enjoy the show. I love Michelle, and I support her.

I totally agree with the way they are raising there family.with great values I am in 100 percent

Everyone has the right to their own opinions, why should we suppress the Dugger's voice just so we can appease a small percentage of the population. I am sick of this political correctness. I don't hate those that don't share the same opinion as me, and it is not wrong to have my own opinion. I should not be hated just because I don't share the popular opinion. Get over it, and move on.

Jesus said that marriage is between a man and a woman. Let gay people think what they want.
