Jill Duggar Dillard gushed about her husband Derick Dillard’s romantic gesture after Derick’s anti-transgender and anti-abortion rants on social media.
“Ladies, find someone who loves Jesus and takes care of you like this guy does me,” Jill wrote. “He made dinner and had the room candlelit for our date tonight. After a stressful last hour leading up to kiddos bedtime (which got extended due to cranky babies not wanting to sleep! Ha!), @derickdillard you made me feel so cherished.”

Jill’s husband has been widely criticized online for his anti-transgender messages online. In August, he criticized TLC star Jazz Jennings, calling Transgender “a myth.”
“What an oxymoron… a ‘reality’ show which follows a non-reality. ‘Transgender’ is a myth. Gender is not fluid; it’s ordained by God,” Dillard wrote on Aug. 2.

“Is it necessary for a grown man to throw shade at a teenage girl?” one person asked him.
“I want to be clear. I have nothing against him. I only have issue with the words and definitions being propagated here,” Dillard replied.

Since Dillard is also a star on a TLC show, the network had to issue a statement. “It is important for us to let our viewers know that Derick Dillard’s personal statement does not represent the views of TLC,” the network said.
