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.

this sucks. just giving me a reason to NOT watch
Great so I can throw up in my mouth a little when I flip through their station in december now.....
Are there not any gay channels?
Can hallmark not start one if they want to do this?
Why do they have to ruin the one they have?
I stopped watching American TV years ago because of its never-ending promotion of homosexuality and sexual immorality.
Folks, start watching KDramas and other programming from Asia. They have much higher moral standards there and the quality overall of TV programs is much better. Ironically, even Mainland China has better TV than the U.S.
This is why I stick to Cinemax after dark.
I havent seen a Hallmark TV movie in a very long time. Probably 20 years unless my aunts sat around and watched it, but that’s the extent of “watching”...
Then again, the faggots and the faggot lovers from the left ruin everything sacred...
Libtards F up EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!
What is “gay Christmas movie” supposed to mean?
Better to throw the locked closet in the ocean and keep the key.
Heck, I have contract work with Funimation and the dubcast group. The anime shows from the past 20 years rarely put in faggot characters but i can count them on one hand...
Will they show during a festive commercial break where Ken’s batteries go?
Hallmark is Dead to me.
Equating Christmas movies with gay people is not the first thing I think of. People and companies that put the sick crazy people first over everything else are sick and crazy themselves.
I do not have to subject myself to that BS
Well!There go.’s the Hallmark channel.
What a stinking shame. Can’t leave anything alone, huh?
This is why I’m such a fan of DVDs and DVD players.
I’ll but the DVD and then watch it whenever I want and not have to worry about the l streaming provider censoring for me, all the good stuff.
Hallmark is already fag-friendly. They ain’t foolin’ anybody.
Well, bye!
I’m down to only watching Garage Squad, Fantom Works,Bitchin Rides, Texas Resurection and Wheeler Dealers and Tucker Carlson at 8:00.
The wife watches some horse shows on Ride TV and a few sitcoms.
How to work stories about pederasty, syphilis and rectal prolapse into romantic holiday films? I'm sure Hollywood can figure it out.
