South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg, a Democratic presidential candidate, criticized the Hallmark Channel’s decision to pull four TV ads featuring a lesbian couple after a petition by a conservative group.
“Families are built on love—no matter what they look like,” Buttigieg, the first openly gay Democratic presidential candidate, tweeted Sunday.
The channel pulled four ads for wedding planning website Zola featuring brides getting married and kissing after conservative group One Million Moms, a branch of the American Family Association, posted a petition claiming the commercial was not “family friendly.”
“Being ‘family friendly’ means honoring love, not censoring difference,” Buttigieg said.
“This truth will be more important than ever as we rebuild our nation into a place defined by belonging, not by exclusion,” he added.
The New York Times reported the news of the ads being pulled Friday.
A spokesperson for the channel told the Times the “decision not to air overt public displays of affection in our sponsored advertisement, regardless of the participants, is in line with our current policy, which includes not featuring political advertisements, offensive language, R-rated movie content and many other categories.”
Zola’s chief marketing officer, Mike Chi, said a commercial featuring a heterosexual couple kissing was approved by the channel.

I prefer censoring perversion, but that’s just me...
Sodomy isn’t love, Buttgiggity.
Buttplug’s pontification is tiresome.
Satan’s vessel spoke again.
It’s called “refusing to cave to depravity”,Buttplug.
Or, just because something is LEGAL doesn’t make it RIGHT.
I wish this flaming homosexual sodomite and all his butties would just go away. The damage they’re inflicting in our country is disgusting.
If these perverts are so demanding of our entertainment world’s morals, why don’t they write their own screenplays, and get their own channels, and leave the rest of us ALONE.
It is not censoring, it is protecting our families! Not everyone wants to watch perversion on their TV’s!
Pete should start his own channel.
He could call it
THE RIDE HIM LIKE A DOG CHANNEL
Mean Little Pete B*ttplug is concerned about VERY important things
I like that butt gig! I like fudge packer too!
How ‘bout God’s warning to fags? Genesis 19 ring a bell?
Shove it, Mr B.
Oh, forgot.....
“Being ‘family friendly’ means honoring love, not censoring difference,” Buttigieg said.
Being family friendly means not showing perversion on TV and allowing it into our homes!
It’s a company that listens to the majority of its viewers.
Viewers mean squat, if you don’t get advertising.
You ain’t getting advertising if you don’t have viewers!
Hey Buttgiggle, go f**k yourself. You’re an abberation, an abomination, and you repulse millions. I, for one, would rather see the White House burn than see what the sheets in the Lincoln Bedroom looked like the morning after you invited a few ‘friends’ over. Come to think of it, so would Lincoln.
They should never have done this ad in the first place and they wouldn’t be in this mess now.
Maybe they’ll have learned a lesson.
Oh, for the good old days when the few perverts among us stayed in the closet. Now there are enough of them to run a candidate for president, who demands that we watch them displaying affection. Eeww.
Leave the children alone.
Leave the children alone.
