Families need to be aware that Hallmark Channel’s “Countdown to Christmas” movie specials will be very different this year since the network will be including LGBTQ content and characters in its original movies for the first time ever.
For example, The Christmas House, set to air Sunday, November 22, at 8:00 p.m. CST will include a gay couple. The cast features Johnathan Bennett and Brad Harder as gay dads-to-be through adoption.
Hallmark Channel, owned by Crown Media Family Networks, announced its plans to start introducing gay and transgender storylines into its movies after receiving online complaints about the lack of obvious LGBTQ content in its lineup of holiday movies.
Michelle Vicary, executive vice president of programming at Crown Media Family Networks, said in a recent secular interview that the 2020 holiday programming reflects “our most diverse representation of talent, narratives, and families.
“Our holiday table is bigger and more welcoming than ever,” she added in a press release. “Our movies are rooted in warmth and positivity, meaningful connections, family gatherings, and seasonal traditions — a winning formula we hope will bring our millions of viewers much-needed levity and holiday cheer at the end of a tough year.”
So many people feel betrayed by Hallmark, which used to be set apart from other channels because of the wholesome, family-friendly content it aired. However, in less than one year, the network decided not only to air LGBTQ commercials, which One Million Moms petitioned and began to boycott in December 2019, but also to produce and air movies pushing the gay agenda by featuring lead gay characters in homosexual relationships.
The once conservative network has caved to LGBTQ pressure and has done a one-eighty from the wholesome content the channel once aired, and the network is now catering to the Left.
1MM is boycotting all things Hallmark. This includes Hallmark Channel, Hallmark wrapping paper, greeting cards, Christmas ornaments, etc.
Please sign our unique petition stating you will specifically boycott ‘The Christmas House’ movie on November 22 by not watching Hallmark Channel that day and by not purchasing any Hallmark products as long as Hallmark pushes the LGBTQ agenda. Now, please share with your family and friends.

Is it called “I’ll be Homo Christmas?”
I hope Hallmark goes bankrupt for doing this. Shame on them.
About 8 years ago, I was totally fed up with the Christmas shopping ‘rat race’ and just buying “stuff” or giving gift cards to people. I started making all of my Christmas presents. Things like crochet mittens (rather popular, actually), canned (Jalapeno Pepper Jelly is the biggest hit) & baked goods, etc. It’s interesting who in the family “values” those presents - some do, some don’t. It certainly made Christmas more ‘meaningful’ for me ... folks, via the homemade presents,got my time & attention, thoughts of what would suit them.
We try to focus on family gatherings with good food & let presents be secondary. Being together as a family is the greatest gift/blessing of all, especially with 2 members over 90 yo . It does upset/aggravate me to no end that stores had/have Christmas decorations out & for sale prior to Halloween this year.
Mrs. L,TOWM will probably be watching the Lifetime or AMC Christmas movies on the nights that Hallmark goes woke...
Probably the absolute worst thing about living in prog pc fantasy land is that there just isn’t a place left anymore anywhere where you can just enjoy apolitical normal people doing normal stuff... I’m tired...
Hallmark ... Plonk!
“Oh, Phil....
Why did you hang the mistletoe there?
You savage.....”
Liberal Must See TV....
“Vote with your feet”
Or in most cases you have to completely cancel your cable or satellite account.
We do off-the-air TV. Nice thing about this path is they cannot track your usage. Be sure your smart TV is blocking internet data too.
In the past few years cable has forced all users to have a ‘BOX’ to use the cable service. That ‘box’ is a tracking tool that gives your viewing info back to the cable outfit. They in turn sell that to Nielsen or the like.
And the only 2 “Christmas” movies that everyone watches in my family are 1) DIE HARD and 2) HOME ALONE.
== = = =
LOLOL!!
Well, add the following, to ours...
It’s a Wonderful Life
White Christmas
Holiday Inn
Elf
A Christmas Story (not my fave, but the others LOVE it)
Just to name a few :)
We’ll be streaming/playing our own Christmas movies, thank you, Hallmark!
Oh, yes...as I said in another post, don’t pay for any paid service. Antenna with a streaming box to supplement...numerous free services.
“Brad Harder”
You just cannot make this stuff up!
Television is nothing but a freak show across the board. Even sports.
Kill your TV.
I previously warned you to quit abusing the Activism sidebar...last time...
I have more things to worry about than what family in a Hallmark movie, like Voting FRAUD!!
Our local Hallmark store has always been a liberal haven.
When Hillary was running, it was all Hillary all the time.
Ahead of ya. This is the first year in many, many years I will not watch any Hallmark programming. Not just the gay stuff, not any of it.
Since we dropped cable and satellite, every year we’ve ordered Philo or another service that streams Hallmark. Not this year.
The movies were getting horrendously bad, anyway. Last year I noticed every new movie for 2019 blew chunks compared to earlier years.
So, to each their own. Conservative Christians that abandon the channel will be replaced by Brave New Worlders. Hallmark will hardly notice. I suppose gay men will be the first sex scene in a Hallmark movie, just to prove a point, eh?
Have at the debauchery, kids. May God have mercy on you and remove the scales from your eyes.
LOLOL!
“Or will they add our email to a lgbt spamming outfit ?”
You can always make a spoof email account for such circumstances. I have a few. Fake names and all, let them spam away, I never see it.
This just ain’t for the Christmas season...
These same-sex couples will be a fixture going forward.
Hallmark is now off our watch list.
They are a private company and do as they wish.
As a viewer, I can do as I wish - and stop watching everything they produce.
Then, like the NFL, NBA and any number of other WOKE companies, they can go bankrupt.
It bothers me too....and I’m Jewish!
