Instead Of Caving To Haters, Candace Cameron Bure Just Used Their Attacks To Share The Gospel

Candace Cameron Bure, the Hallmark Channel queen who rose to fame as D.J. Tanner on “Full House,” just wants to make Christmas movies that spread the joy and wholesomeness of Christmas and of her Christian faith. To that end, she recently moved from Hallmark to Great American Family, a new, smaller channel “that is positioning itself as the God-and-country alternative for holiday entertainment.”

For the crime of wanting to make a product that aligns better with her Christian faith, Bure is getting slammed as a bigot. But instead of apologizing for her convictions, Bure’s words and actions indicate she’s more interested in spreading the love of Christ than appeasing her Hollywood haters.

“My heart wants to tell stories that have more meaning and purpose and depth behind them,” Bure told The Wall Street Journal in a feature story that set off a firestorm of backlash on Monday. “I knew that the people behind Great American Family were Christians that love the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family entertainment.”

The channel isn’t designed to “proselytize” or tell overtly religious stories, but to provide itself as an alternative for Americans who are fed up with the incessant agendas of mainstream Hollywood, suggested Bill Abbott, the former CEO of Hallmark’s parent company who is now heading up Great American Media, which includes Great American Family. Prompted by a question about whether same-sex relationships will be central features of her films, Bure said in her interview with the Journal, “I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core.”

Anyone remember Anita Bryant?

I say that not to discourage to remind us to keep up the fight.

Good for her. Don’t back down, don’t apologize.

Instead of using the phrase, “traditional marriage”, I prefer, “a real marriage”.

[FLNittany]

She's a talented, beautiful woman with a strong faith who should be commended. Instead, the msm will ridicule her.

For a crowd that claims to be tolerant, I’d say they’re extremely intolerant to those they disagree with.

My Jewish husband watches all the Hallmark Christmas movies, but he now says it’s almost all WOKE! Always mixed race couples, and a gay subplot, and the bosses are ALWAYS BLACK!!

[chuckb87]

Amen.

Hallmark became a big target like everything else that was a favorite of those with traditional beliefs so they want to work and now it is infested with the woke cancer.

Hallmark resisted featuring gay couples a few years ago, and suffered the usual "Hate is not a family value" attacks. It quickly buckled and reversed its anti-LGBT position.

👏👏👏👏👏
Stand firm.

Always mixed race couples, and a gay subplot, and the bosses are ALWAYS BLACK!!

Just like every television commercial. I’ll add that every dentist, medical doctor, and veterinarian is black too.
