This was his tweet btw: "This actually has me genuinely angry.

It's disgusting and pathetic that Hallmark caved to a mob of trad snowflakes and spiked a perfectly innocuous ad. A slap in the face to gay people everywhere."

Yeah "snowflake" from the same guy crying for a boycott. Yeah taking down the ad was a slap in the face for gay people everywhere but airing it wasn't a slap in the face for the people of all thoses 32 states that voted to maintain the defintion of marriage as man and woman.

And in a lot of those other states its not 90 percent for and 10 percent against like most think

Usually 60/40 or even 55/45.

In an HONEST survey, where people didn’t feel like they had to lie, I’d bet 70 percent would be on our side.

What angers me too is that he has the audacity to describe himself as a conservative.

He writes “they never should have bowed to an outrage mob”, but that’s exactly what they did when they walked back the cancellation of the commercial.

If this Zola company is so “inclusive” why don’t they ever show masculine -looking gay women? They all look straight.

Their inclusiveness only goes so far.

I’d cancel my cable but ESPN and the Kneeler Football League NFL drove me to that long ago. Don’t miss it a bit.

I am now a #BoycottHallmark person because they caved to the left.....Hallmark was a safe channel that did not shove Political correctness done our throat, you could just sit back with your family and enjoy a clean show, not anymore... so bye bye Hallmark

To some people, I believe, Brad Polumbo passes as a conservative. To me, he’s a POS.

Frankly, most of the Hallmark movies are predictable, poorly written, poorly acted junk.

They should know, the only reason most of us watch them is because Hallmark was always safe viewing for families. Not any more.

If homosexuals would just keep their bedroom priorities out of the public, we wouldn’t have much of an issue. My problem is they are proselytizing their sexual behavior.

The big money is not in the TV channel, but in those cards and high-priced novelties. I suspect that lesbians spend a lot of money buying $4.95 cards for each other.

They didn’t want to offen anybody, and now they have offended EVERYbody.

>>In a pathetic display, Hallmark caved and pulled that particular ad

gay newsrooms are a thing and those who are butthurt never fess up to their own special agenda interest

Took Anderson Cooper a long time to come out of his closet. Some other anchors still hide there telling us same sex marriage and transexual military officers are so fabulous.

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.
