The Hill ^ | 12 15 2019 | Aris Folley

The president and CEO of Hallmark, Inc., announced on Sunday that the company will be reversing a controversial decision it made earlier this month to pull advertisements that featured a lesbian couple getting married and kissing.

The executive, Mike Perry, said on Sunday that the team at the parent company behind The Hallmark Channel, Crown Media Family Networks, has “been agonizing over this decision as we’ve seen the hurt it has unintentionally caused.”

“Said simply, they believe this was the wrong decision. Our mission is rooted in helping all people connect, celebrate traditions, and be inspired to capture meaningful moments in their lives. Anything that detracts from this purpose is not who we are. We are truly sorry for the hurt and disappointment this has caused,” he continued.

I know there’ll be a lot of straight people who will keep watching Hallmart despite lesbian/homosexual programming. Still, They are sure to lose more viewers than they gain. But if they’ve gone “woke”, I guess being PC is more important than the bottom line.

”been agonizing over this decision as we’ve seen the hurt it has unintentionally caused.”

So, they caved, quickly, to the Gay Mafia.

We never watch the cable channel even though we pay for the dang thing. But i always look for hallmark cards to give for occasions. No more. Pathetic cretins.

Brilliant business move:

Offend the 98% base to cater to the 2%.

I have a bridge I could sell them.

If the ads had been declined with out a PR statement, there would not have been controversy.

Since they made the descision public, they invited the flack they encountered.

Mean Little Pete Sodomite is SOOOO happy!

The LGBTQ Mafia bullied Hallmark, and Hallmark caved. Disgusting.
