'Teen Mom' Husband Doubles Down on His Homophobia
by EG
Two of Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans' exes have been sent to jail recently, while her current husband (who has also been arrested quite a few times) is busy riling up the internet with his proudly homophobic comments. MTV fired Eason from the show back in February over previous homophobic comments, but now that the network has no leverage over him, he's fully embracing his homophobia. Read on to see what you think.

David Eason is adamant about his homophobic views. Jenelle Evans’ husband came under fire once again for posting a controversial meme on Instagram on Wednesday, August 29.
The image featured a cartoon bride and groom alongside the words, “Straight Pride / it’s Natural, it’s Worked for Thousands of years and you Can Make Babies.” Eason, 30, captioned the post, “For the people who get offended when you call them what they identify themselves as… I’m also proud to be a white man, a southerner and a redneck! #pride.”
Many of Eason’s Instagram followers were quick to call him out for the bigoted post. “This is so ignorant David. You have the right to say what you want but this is not necessary you know what your [sic] doing by posting crap like this,” one commenter wrote. Another replied, “Freedom of speech is one thing, spreading and inciting hatred is another.”
Eason’s post came two days after the second part of the Teen Mom 2 season 8 reunion aired. In the episode, Evans, 26, defended her husband’s homophobic viewpoints while speaking with Dr. Drew Pinsky.
“He doesn’t hate those people,” she said of the LGBT community. “He just doesn’t want his kids to grow up and be that way.”
