Mailbox House



Chip and Joanna Gaines of the show Fixer Upper were the subjects of a BuzzFeed article last year that depicted them as bigots because they’re church members. Their response: “If there’s any hope for all of us to move forward, to heal and to grow – we’ve got to learn to engage people who are different from us with dignity and with love. Joanna and I have personal convictions. One of them is this: we care about you for the simple fact that you’re a person, our neighbor on planet earth. It’s not about what color your skin is, how much money you have in the bank, your political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender, nationality or faith. That’s all fascinating, but it cannot add or take away from the reality that we’re already pulling for you. We are not about to get in the nasty business of throwing stones at each other. Don’t ask us to because we won’t play that way.”
