They are going to lose more now than if they never did anything to begin with. The caving in to the gay agenda is infecting more companies than I would expect. From Chik-FIL-A to Hallmark Channel, you can tell it is targeted attacks by the gay mafia.

Such a familiar script...

1. Corporation, in some rare moment of common sense, refuses to kowtow to LGBT.
2. LGBT raises hell and threatens boycott.
3. Conservatives defend corporation and thanks/congratulates them for being the rare company that refuses to be bullied by LGBT.
4. Corporation caves to LGBT, thus succeeding in alienating and betraying the conservatives who rushed to support them.
5. LGBT laughs and makes another notch on its designer belt.

“No longer shown in my home. Sorry Hallmark, no sale here.”

The wife loves it, so we’ll see how things progress. However, I am pretty sure what the progression will be and therefore we’ll probably bail in a bit. After all, it does take a while for the complete severity of the infection to display itself.

Oh, not missing Chick Fil A. They bent over and assumed the Dorkbama position. That’s life.

There are lots of them in Hollywood and they are very influential. They exert their pressure on the population by the shows they present.

The only way to hurt Hallmark is to drop cable. In dropping cable anyone can end support for all kinds of evil crap.

Does it include, hot cocoa, a widower, ice skating, a snowball fight, a christmas festival, a tree lighting ceremony, a little kid who misses her dead mother, an ex-girlfriend (or boyfriend) who appears at just the wrong moment and regrets the break up?

It has a very happy ending, that’s all I’m saying ! i don’t want to give away the whole story.

How in the sam hill did homosexuals get so much power and influence in our culture?

Nero fiddled while Rome burned.......we fiddled whilst the LGBTQ community worked their way into the fabric of society. I have nothing against them I just don’t think they should get preferential treatment and be shown as normal when they’re not and they bully their way to get what they want......

Bye, bye. They would rather be PC into irrelevance and bankruptcy rather than stand with their viewers. Sad.

.If the ads had been declined with out a PR statement, there would not have been controversy. Since they made the decision public, they invited the flack they encountered.

So true. This is an example of lack of management savvy. They failed to navigate the PR landscape, when pretty much that is all they are required to do.

Can I sue Halmark for whiplash or would I just get a gay card?

The card division of Hallmark already had a commercial with a guy getting on his knees to give another guy an engagement ring years ago, so the horse was already out of the barn.

Is Hallmark included with cable now? It used to require an extra charge, like HBO does.

I cut cable long ago. Without cable, you still can subscribe to Hallmark. Many of those subscribers might cancel.

Once a gay gets in a position of power in an organization, they hire other gays, until one day you find they’ve taken over.
