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.
A 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.

Naw, there's still the Golf Channel
There is nothing stopping the LGBTQWERTY folks from making their own friggin’ movies.
I’m going to switch back to Lifetime.
Those crazy women at least get laid...
LOL
“We just want to come out of the closet.....”
Now, they practically rule over us....the queer sobs need to be put back in the closet, the door locked and the key thrown away...deep in the ocean.
Next they will have a heartwarming story of a Chinese Christian family in a re-education camp
THAT will be the end to our very loyal viewing.
We’re not that loyal.
OK, everybody sing together...”.....don we now our GAY apparel, fa la la la la la la la.........”
don't do this Hallmark.......
What will happen when a moooselimb hears about these movies? Will his anger means something, while ours doesn’t?
> The last refuge for traditional, family-friendly
> entertainment is about to bite the dust.
They are not the last refuge.
We still have PureFlix.
“Hallmark Execs Say Channel Working To Fix Lack of Gay Christmas Movies....”
There are plenty of happy and festive Christmas movies.
Liberals absolutely control the entertainment industries. Unless you can make them go broke, which for the most part doesn’t appear to be happening, expect more lopsided movies and programming.
Can they remake the Cecile B DeMile version of the 10 Commandments, I didn’t see any Christian or Muzlim characters.
Get woke.
Go broke.
When I was learning to read the word “gay” was one of my favorite words.
Then the homos ruined it, like they ruin everything.
I’m using Roku and Pluto TV more and more.Classic stuff is plentiful.
A few episodes of the 80s sitcom TJ Hooker has helped with the loss of the loved and aged GSD today.
