The Duggars, of "19 Kids and Counting," recently issued a challenge to the world (well, more like the people who watch "19 Kids and Counting," but you get the idea). The Duggars are going to be doing a lot of kissing. And they're going to photograph it. And they want others to do the same, and post those kisses to Facebook.
Perfectly innocent right? Objecting to kissing is a so 17th century.
Here's the problem: Christian Post reports that the Duggars may be erasing photos of same-sex kisses from their Facebook-based competition.
Here's what John Becker, the man who alleges he and his husband's kiss was censored from the page, claims:
"It was getting lots of likes," Becker stated, "but the Duggars must not have liked it very much - they pulled it down and blocked me from posting, liking, or commenting on the page altogether."
However, the Duggars have since responded to this backlash- on Facebook, they quoted a Bible verse that seems very relevant to the situation.
Here's the Facebook post in question (via ExtraTV):
"Luke 6:27 "But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you." This is such a sweet scripture that we hold dear. We will always stand for truth and the values we hold dear without compromise but we will do so in love and kindness--treating others well even if we don't agree with them and we will do so without hateful words. This verse is a reminder of how we must always carry ourselves. Precious words from Jesus."
So the Duggars aren't really admitting if they did erase the photo or not, but either way they're definitely affirming their stance against gay marriage.
