So, the "tolerant" left is intolerant towards anyone who doesn't think like them....nothing new.  And instead of those of us like the Duggars who "share their opinion" about what the Bible says, we don't demand that all gays, etc., be taken off the air or anything like that.  So why is it when the "ingrates and intolerance" of the left flares up, no one calls them on it?  This has to stop by those who never know what they are talking about.....if they (the loons on the left) would research and have civil discourse, they would resolve most issues w/o this kind of behavior.  Keep the Duggars - they are a breath of fresh air!!!!

 I don't think they should lose their show, but this isn't about their beliefs or opinions. It's about them actively working politically to take rights away frompeople who are gay. They have been working against a proposed law thatwould make it illegal to fire or evict someone on the basis that they are gay. That is an action that is harmful of people, regardless of the religious belief that it is based on. And no one is even saying that they shouldn't be allowed to work against people's rights. They just think the Duggars have a huge platform to spread those belief-inspired actions, actions that harm people. That is what the petition against the show is about. Again, I am not wanting them to lose their show, but the author of this petition has it wrong - they are not being punished for their own private religious beliefs.
