The controversy started when Hallmark decided to cancel an advertisement they had accepted from the wedding planning service Zola.

No. The controversy started when they ACCEPTED the advertisement.

The Politically Homeless Life of a Gay Conservative
written by Brad Polumbo

https://quillette.com/2019/02/18/the-politically-homeless-life-of-a-gay-conservative/

I knew I was gay when I was eight years old, at least subconsciously. That was the first time I had that feeling, the one deep in my chest that took me decades to understand, for a boy named Ben at summer camp, and his deep blue eyes.

I didn’t know that I was a political conservative for many more years, until I came of age in an era of political correctness and resurgent socialism, developments that pushed me away from modern liberalism. When I realized I was both gay and conservative—that’s when I knew that I was a sort of living contradiction, at least insofar as how much of the world would see me.

I’m actually surprised it hasn’t been exclusively and completely gay since its inception. I always put it up there with the home jewelry shopping network and WNBA as far as entertainment value to me.

I would like to see Hallmarks ratings in the next couple of weeks. I believe their chief demographic is from Middle America. The land of values. I am betting the viewership will go down.

Don’t ask, DON’T TELL was the best policy back when LGBTQA was just homosexuals.

Article is from the same conservative website attacking Michelle Malkin as a naxi last month.

A lot of people remember it and also remember how that POS governor stuck it to the voters.Moved out of californication in 91 back to georgia and never looked back.
