The set of The Chosen is NOT a church (judge not the world for it is already judged). It is not a forgone conclusion that anyone/everyone involved in the making of the show is a Christian. This is still "the world". I've read past stories of crew and cast members giving their lives to Christ during their time on the show.
From this article: Dallas Jenkins, the creator of "The Chosen," told the Daily Caller News Foundation that there is no “religious or political litmus test” for employees. “I love our cast and crew, especially because even though they all come from different backgrounds and beliefs, they work their butts off for the show and the viewers,” Jenkins said. “The show’s official stance on anything is to be found in the content of the show.”
A small pride flag was hanging from a camera and on the back of a crewmembers vest. Was it an act of defiance? A not so subtle finger at Christianity? None of us can say. Dallas isn't endorsing the flag and all it stands for. He's also not demanding it be taken down. He's allowing that person freedom to express their views. He's shown love and compassion and (hopefully) a light to someone who is lost. What would have been accomplished by demanding the flag be removed/hidden? Did Jesus make demands of "the world"? No. He called the religious leaders out and stood as a beacon of God to all humanity. Companies like Target are PUSHING the LGBTQ/trans agenda. There is no pushing here and this is not the same thing. I think Dallas handled this exactly as a true follower of Christ. Only the religious should be offended.
