Actress under fire for championing traditional marriage touts new network's family-friendly content

Actress and former Hallmark star Candace Cameron Bure is pushing back after giving an interview to the Wall Street Journal on Monday in which she signaled her new network would stick to traditional values and shun same-sex storylines.

"I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core," she told the outlet, provoking social media backlash from celebrities, including actress Hilarie Burton ("One Tree Hill"), who labeled her a "bigot," and teen YouTuber JoJo Siwa, who called her statement "rude and hurtful to a whole community of people."

Bure, who rose to fame as a child star on "Growing Pains," is the sister of actor and evangelical minister Kirk Cameron ("Growing Pains"). She left the Hallmark Channel earlier this year. "It basically is a completely different network than when I started because of the change of leadership," she told the Journal.

In April, the actress joined family-oriented cable network Great American Family as chief content officer, highlighting her desire to cultivate family-friendly content as an alternative to Hollywood's anti-American and oftentimes anti-Christian offerings.

"I am constantly looking for ways that I can inspire people to live life with purpose," Bure said at the time. "GAC fits my brand perfectly; we share a vision of creating compelling wholesome content for an audience who wants to watch programming for and with the whole family."

The actress told the Journal she is seeking a more faith-driven and thought-provoking style of storytelling.

More power to her. I have watched some of the Christmas movies with my wife. Most of them are sweet, literally G-rated, light-as-air, boy-meets-girl romances that actually make reference to Christmas as a Christian holiday. You could watch them with your grandma or priest and not have to worry about embarrassing moments. You could do far worse if you need to kill a couple of hours. There are no ads for that HIV medication that has fabulously-dressed homosexuals prancing and smooching. It’s a nice white bread break from 24/7 U.S. of Gay, which is why it is being attacked.

If I need rescuing from the 5th floor, I do not want some 130 lb. woman (or man) coming to rescue me. Big, strong, brave.....bonus if he’s good looking.

They went from complaining about being discriminated against, to asking for acceptance to demanding compliance to becoming the discriminators.

They now discriminate against normal marriage they way they complain they were treated.

Might be that our entertainment productions not go out of their way to mix races and cultures. Each of these groups might enjoy more “pure” productions.

Now, the traditional family is radical. Only in Hollywood...

Hallmark will have a Christmas romances the movie soon with a Gay male adult and a gay teen boy. I mean, Hallmark why not, last year you did have two lesbian moms falling in love...
