Chip Gaines highlights a gay couple on "Back to the Frontier", a first for the star’s shows and a meaningful step toward LGBTQ representation on TV.

The former HGTV star defended the inclusion of a same-sex couple on "Back to the Frontier" and pointed out a harsh truth about "American Christian" culture.

The "Fixer Upper" alum responded to critics on social media who were disappointed "Back to the Frontier" features a gay couple and their two sons.

This comes as the HGTV stars are facing backlash from conservative Christians for their 'unbiblical' casting on their new reality show.
