CNN) -- Twin brothers David and Jason Benham have lost their opportunity to host their own HGTV show.

The brothers ran afoul of the network after the site Right Wing Watch published a post about the pair, labeling David Benham as an "anti-gay, anti-choice extremist" for reportedly leading a prayer rally in 2012 outside of the Democratic National Convention held in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The site posted a recording of Benham talking to a talk show host about "homosexuality and its agenda that is attacking the nation" and "demonic ideologies" taking hold in colleges and public schools.

I never understand these right wing nut jobs talking about the Homosexual agenda. I think that agenda is to have the same rights as other Americans and to stop being attacked by the religious right . I am pretty sure they are not out to destroy marriage in America. I know lot's of divorced people, never met a one who had a gay break them up.

I want a new reality show. Gay divorce court, with Randy from "say yes to the dress as the judge"

On edit I don't agree with the them losing their show because they have a un popular belief

Calling an entire group of people "demonic" has that effect.

It goes with the territory. Honesty has no place in the entertainment industry....or politics for that matter. If one is seeking a career in the public eye...they need to watch what they say.
