Nate Berkus Has Perfect Response To Duggar Family Member's Homophobia

[ehrnst]

Dillard, who appears on TLC’s “Counting On” and is married to Jill Duggar Dillard of “19 Kids and Counting” fame, retweeted a link last Friday to Berkus’s show, “Nate & Jeremiah By Design,” which airs on the same network. The interior design series is a collaboration between Berkus and his husband, Jeremiah Brent.

Dillard, however, blasted the show for “highlighting and celebrating a lifestyle so degrading to children.” He seemed particularly offended that Berkus and Brent’s daughter, Poppy Brent-Berkus, is featured in promotional images for the show’s second season, which debuted April 7 on TLC.

Berkus, however, didn’t seem too vexed. He responded indirectly to Dillard’s remarks with a tweet featuring a photo of him and Brent posing with Poppy, now 3, and their new son, Oskar Michael.

Nate's response was pure class, and he didn't even go there about Josh Duggar when he could have.

1. Love you, Nate.

Nate has been through so much. He has suffered such loss and lived through that pain to find love again and create this beautiful family.
Just look at the joy in this photo. Love it.

2. I'm not gay

But love and happiness need no approval

Period

3. Your family is beautiful, Nate.

You all look so happy, I wanna climb in that picture with you.

4. It looks like Derick Dillard's Twitter account was just suspended

Hate is hate is hate is hate.

7. I just clicked on the tweet in the article, and I'm seeing his account.

Were are you seeing that it's been suspended?

(I'm not very twiterate...)

8. Hmm - I clicked on his name and got the suspended message

I must have done something wrong. My bad ...

[EffieBlack]

9. Ahh - I see what happened

The tweet I clicked on had a wrong Twitter handle for him.

Never mind ...

5. Wonder How TLC Feels About This

6. I wondered the same thing

I think TLC views controversy as advertising, so they're happy. I haven't watched this channel or seen any advertising for any of its shows in a long time, so didn't know this family still had a show till now, but I'm not surprised.

It's too bad he'd never think about taking his wife's name, or he could have been Derrick Digger Duggard.

10. THat Sounds Like A Porn Name

somewhat on the lines of Dirk Diggler

11. Dillard is no longer on and hasn't been on Counting On for awhile.

He got kicked off TLC for Twitter trashing another TLC star, transgender teen Jazz Jennings, last year.

12. Is HIs Wife?

don't know, don't watch

[50 Shades Of Blue]

13. I don't think so but I'm not sure

I don't watch either but I started reading about the Duggars and their ilk on another fundie-critical board after the Josh Duggar scandal.
