Hallmark Execs Say Channel Working To Fix Lack of Gay Christmas Movies
Western Journal ^ | 12/06/19 | Stephen Kokx

News that the Hallmark Channel is looking to add LGBT-friendly movies to its lineup is yet another stab in the back for conservative Christians, many of whom are still reeling from Chick-fil-A’s recent betrayal of traditional family values.

According to The Wrap, executives at Hallmark’s parent company, Crown Media Family Networks, admitted the network is seeking to air more stories focused on LGBT characters.

“We are continuing to expand our diversity,” Michelle Vicary, Crown Media’s executive vice president of programming, told TheWrap for a story published last week. “We are looking at pitches for LGBTQ movies

“Like the industry, there is a lot of work to be done to catch up.”

Vicary’s remarks echoed those made by Crown Media CEO Bill Abbot.

 

Abbot told The Hollywood Reporter last week he is “open” to movies that have a homosexual character in the lead role.

This holiday season, Hallmark is planning on releasing 40 original movies.

The channel’s reputation for airing wholesome, feel-good stories is widely known and greatly appreciated by millions of Americans who detest the radical nature of the LGBT movement’s demands.

petition from LifeSiteNews, a pro-life, pro-family Christian website, warned Hallmark that it would “risk losing a big part of their market” if the network gives in “to the LGBT agenda.”

“Hallmark would be offending Christian viewers and Christian parents BIG TIME, by experimenting with homosexual themes, and, or cooperating with the LGBT indoctrination agenda,” the petition reads.

“Hallmark should also know that if they give-in to the LGBT agenda, the LGBT activists will never be satisfied.”

The petition had garnered nearly 30,000 signatures as of Friday morning.

Sure, trade 98% of the population for 2%. That’s a sound business strategy, for certain.

The Hallmark Channel sickens me with going down a bit to show more homosexual perversion instead of taking the high road. I will not be listening to the nonsense. I do not need to watch crap like that.

In the race with science to create new species I guess Hollywood won. I’d have liked to know Darwin’s perspective on this.

The last thing the women who watch Hallmark want to see is two fags.

Konrad Lorenz once said that besides man, there are NO homosexual animals. There are animals that exhibit bisexual behaviors - usually when something has gone wrong with their environment and social system.

The problem with homosexuality is that it’s a genetic death sentence. In the natural state, pure homosexuality is genetic suicide. I think Darwin would agree.

Yep they were written like tv shows today by a variety of authors.

They made Nancy a lesbian. I refused to watch after I heard that, so don’t how bad they made it.

My guess is this stuff will be shown after midnight when most of the audience is already asleep, or maybe there will be a whole new channel for edgier Hallmark stories.

For some reason, Japanese girls and women like (unexplicit) stories about gay boy romance. There will be an audience over here as well.

By self-definition, promoting & “celebrating” the satanic homosexual lifestyle choice is itself an attack on Christianity.

Fun fact...

Jim Morrison was a fan of Frank Sinatra and was thrilled when he walked into Sunset Sound studios to record their first album and saw the same iconic German microphone that Sinatra used for his recordings.

What is “gay Christmas movie” supposed to mean?

Two homosexuals somewhere in Vermont start a gerbil ranch. Main characters are named Kneel and Bob.
