Hallmark Channel's history of exclusion has many doubting its commitment to featuring LGBTQ storylines in its popular holiday movies

Hallmark Channel’s annual collection of Christmas movies starring actors like Danica McKellar and Candace Cameron Bure are designed to spread tidings and joy. But when the network revealed an advance look at this year’s lineup of 40 holiday films — including titles like Deliver by Christmas, On the 12th Date of Christmas and Christmas Doctor — it received a lump of coal in return. Social media immediately noted that none of the films feature LGBTQ characters or storylines and called the channel out on Twitter.

Yeah right Hallmark's core audience of women are demanding LGBTQ storylines. I would love Hallmark to do some LGBT movies and compare the ratings to hetero movies. Isn't there a LGBT oriented cable channel. How about they do cheesy RomCom Christmas movies.

I stopped watching them when they reneged on their removal of the homo Christmas ad.

Who cares?! There’s an ENTIRE channel devoted to gay content called Logo.

Put your perverted Christmas romances there!

The fact is there's no viable market for lgbt content:

Logo TV

Logo TV (often shortened to Logo) is an American pay television channel that is owned by ViacomCBS Domestic Media Networks, a division of ViacomCBS. Launched in 2005, it was originally aimed primarily at LGBT viewers, but in 2012 it expanded towards general cultural and lifestyle programming. As of January 2016, approximately 50 million households receive Logo.

Actually, there were a lot of gay characters, they just didn’t shove their sexual preference in your face. Prove me wrong. Not all gay people wear the rainbow flag and lisp.

If I were Hallmark that is how I’d answer this.

They could make a movie about an LGB..whatever activist that faces a crisis, has a change of heart, and leaves perversity, falls in love, gets married, and becomes an evangelical minister.

AMEN, Brother! Leave Hallmark alone. There’s plenty of peverse content out there to pick from. Some of us actually enjoy the wholesome (although totally formulaic/predictable) content on Hallmark.

Hallmark knows what its audience wants.

The Wokey Warts need to butt out.

Millstone around Hallmark’s neck.

Millstone around our entire society’s neck.

Worshiping perverts.

Literally: damn them.

Flee from the wrath to come.
