On this episode of ABQ Connect, we are joined by Glenn Stanton, Director of Global Family Formation Studies at Focus on the Family, to discuss a recent article he wrote from The Daily Citizen regarding “Chip and Joanna Gaines Platform Couple to ‘Normalize Same-Sex Families’.” The conversation centers around a new reality series promoted by Chip and Joanna Gaines that makes an attempt to normalize same sex marriages and shows how women are being used in ways no one should find acceptable, in which Stanton argues is part of a broader cultural push to normalize same-sex marriage and family structures. This episode explores the implications of these trends for society, faith communities, and the traditional understanding of family.
