Chip and Joanna Gaines face conservative vitriol for featuring a gay married couple on their new Magnolia Network reality show.

Chip Gaines appears to have defended his new series, “Back to the Frontier,” for including a same-sex couple after their casting upset fans.

Following the backlash, Hanna told Queerty that he is “super honored that when they were choosing three modern-day families, they did choose a same-sex couple as a modern-day family, because we are. We are your neighbors and your co-workers.”
