Jenelle Evans isn't the only one in her family making headlines this week.
On Monday, the mother of three's husband David Eason appeared to go on a rant on Twitter, which featured homophobic language and pro gun rhetoric. Specifically, the Teen Mom 2 star referred to those in the LGBTQ community as "abominations." Just awful.

While Eason's account has since been taken down, alleged screenshots of the derogatory posts have circulated around the internet. Apparently, during a debate on whether those with concealed carry permits should be allowed to bring guns onto school property, Eason was accused of "glorifying assault rifles" and was advised to teach his kids "how to solve problems without calling people names or using force."
In response, David hit back with:
"And just what makes you think you have the right to tell me how to be a parent? Because you think you know me? Lmao why don't you go tell the homo and transgender parents to start teaching their kids better morals? Oh I forgot that's supposed to be normal."
SERIOUSLY?!?!? Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Just sayin'…
When asked if he was teaching his children to hate gay and transgender people, Eason noted:
"No, I'm going to teach them not to associate with them or be that way. If you lay down with dogs you get up with fleas."
@PerezHilton can you use your platform to call out @mtv for allowing this man on one of their shows?! Please!! His name is David Eason and is featured on teen mom 2 pic.twitter.com/P4aSJBpuEl

Smh. This type of talk is NOT okay.
Understandably, those in the Teen Mom community are displeased with David's behavior, with some even calling for his removal from the show. Jenelle and David's costar Kailyn Lowry led the charge, as she shared online:
I'm absolutely disturbed by the comments David made regarding gay & transgender parents.
- Kailyn Lowry (@KailLowry) February 19, 2018
People are removed from shows for comments like that.
- Kailyn Lowry (@KailLowry) February 19, 2018
Miz Lowry confirmed her sentiment to TMZ, as she informed them that she wants Eason off TM2 and to stay far away from her family. She also added that she feels bad for his children for having to "grow up with someone that clearly holds so much hate towards others."
Kailyn wasn't alone in her criticism, as Leah Messer also weighed in on the scandal:
They need HELP! Something needs to happen! This is all disturbing to say they least, but not surprising! 😞🙄 https://t.co/h662cEMuLN

Snap! Snap! Randy Houska, the father of Teen Mom 2 vet Chelsea Houska, went onto accuse David of being "intolerant" and "homophobic":
@davideportcity Being an intolerant, homophobic racist is not being "radical". It is being stupid. pic.twitter.com/I82Bb9MYVi

DAMMMMN. You go, Poppa Houska!!!
Other MTV personalities added:
This is not the example we should be setting for our youth. I have many trustworthy and hardworking individuals that are Gay and Lesbians. They are outstanding individuals. I proud to have them on my team. This is actually embarrassing to see someone say this. #TeenMomOG #LGBT

Disgusting. Who the hell is he to judge ?! Some of the nicest people I know are gay. How could someone be married to a guy like that😳 https://t.co/Yha7VTZ9TA

A Change.org petition has since been launched to encourage MTV to fire Mr. and Mrs. Eason. You can find it HERE!!
