19 Kids & Counting Gay Scandal Uncovered, Duggar Family Member Revealed As Lesbian- Following Gay Facebook Photo Scandal, Josh Duggar Addressed Rumors

The Duggar family has been making headlines all year long as they have been getting married, announcing pregnancies and having babies. It seems that you can't go a day without one of the stars of TLC series, 19 Kids and Counting, popping up in the news. Well, today the Duggar family is making headlines once again as a long kept family secret has made its way to the light. The strict Christian family takes a harsh stance against gay rights, but it turns out that one of the members of their family is, in fact, a lesbian.

The stars of the show caused quiet the controversy on Facebook last month, when they deleted pictures of LGBT same-sex couples kissing that were posted to show their support for the family. When Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald came under fire for posting a picture of themselves kissing, the family asked fans to post photos of themselves kissing to the site. However, when LGBT couples sent their photos in, they were promptly deleted by the Duggars.

However, now it seems that Michelle has been hiding the fact that her sister is a lesbian.

According to In Touch, 63-year-old Evelyn Ruark, Michelle's sister, is residing with her partner Sharon Callahan in Cincinnati, Ohio. While the family doesn't support Evelyn's lifestyle, she has been featured on an episode of 19 Kids and Counting and Josh Duggar even spoke out about his aunt's sexual orientation in an interview last year.

According to Radar Online, the eldest son told a radio station that he indeed had an aunt who was a lesbian but that he still loved her.

"I have an aunt who has chosen to live that life and I love my aunt. I think she is an amazing person," the star explained to the radio host, adding that his aunt's views on marriage are similar with that of his family's. "She believes that marriage is between one man and one woman."
