HGTV pulled the plug last month on its plans for a reality series “Flip It Forward” starring two brothers, David and Jason Behman, who have compared same-sex marriage to Nazi Germany and who took part in rallies against LGBT and reproductive rights.

The homophobic duo were recently interviewed by The Christian Post, speaking out about their shows cancellation and compared losing their proposed reality TV show to religious martyrdom.

When The Christian Post host asked David Benham if we will continue to see more companies standing up for LGBT rights and whether society will continue accepting equal marriage as the norm, he responded:



If people remain silent, then it’s gonna to continue to get worse. But when folks step up, and speak boldly the truth, then it can actually be pushed back. And that’s one of the things Jason was just talking about. You have to be willing to die. I mean Jason and I had to be willing to lose our show. We had to be willing to lose a book deal, I mean whatever it may be – endorsements. We had to be willing to lose it all.

“We have to be willing to let go of what we have, whether it’s a job, an elected position, a big ‘ole church, whatever it may be,” David added. “We have to be willing to let it go, and when that happens, then absolutely we’re back on the right track in America.”

Watch the interview below:



At a religious Road to Majority conference earlier this month, Jason compared his fight for ‘religious freedom’ to the D-Day invasion. “We just remember June the 6th, 1944. We know what happened at D-Day. We know what happened on Omaha and Utah beach. There’s something about those men that our dad taught us when we were kids, and he said, ‘Boys, don’t you ever run from bullets. You run toward the bullets.’”

“There are cultural bullets flying, all over today, especially religious liberty, and what’s happening right now is many spiritual leaders, elected leaders, they are running from bullets,” Jason Benham said. “But there’s a remnant of people that are ready to stand and say ‘I’m not running from these bullets any more. I’m going to take this beach.’”

“Just like in the movie Braveheart, when all the Scottish Army was standing there, and they all had their gear on, and they were lined up and they were unified, and they were ready to fight but not a single one of them wanted to fight,” Jason Benham said. “And then as William Wallace and a few men rode in on horses with blue face paint on. They were ready to pick a fight, and what I see before me right now are a bunch of people with some blue face paint on – so let’s go get it.”
