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.

An American Dream or Human Nightmare
Diversity in the form of people who did not respect our heritage, based on a maximum level of personal responsibility, was always a negative. Or am I wrong?
How about they create a gay channel for all this stuff to be broadcast on so we don’t have to work at avoiding it?
That ain’t a candy cane he’s licking.
“...Better to throw the locked closet in the ocean and keep the key....”
LOL....yep!!
Just add a new separate Hallmark LQGTWTF channel so everyone knows what it is and block it. That way the alphabets have their channel and they do not pollute the family channels.
the audience is just not there for gay christmas movies... 99% of the viewing audience will be upset over it...
the few that watch, only half will like it...
some things are better off not seen...
You must like a good nap.
Get woke go broke.

They don't want to watch them. They want you to watch them.
Nothing honors the birth of Christ quite like shoving Mr. Wangdoodle up another guys butt.
Bingo.
And another network chooses fiscal suicide, oh well...
I emailed michellevicary@crownmedia.com and told her that if they started adding LGBT movies/actors to their line up that I would stop watching the channel. Maybe everyone needs to do the same.
As much as the movies are cheesy, they are safe and wholesome. Good background shows.
My mom loves these movies, and she is already sick of the Letter People “interacting scenes” on her soaps, so she will likely just pass on any one of these.
Just like women’s sports. Women are the biggest champions of the LGBT movement, and now those very same women are being run right out of their sports because shemale ringers are winning everything. Their rainbow chickens are coming home to roost. It’s happening in the workplace, too. Women were all good with gay rights when it was some cute little unassuming Nancy-boy in the mailroom and women still had the monopoly on supposed pain and suffering in the office. Now that the homos are coming in waves and getting WAY too big a piece of the action, the women libs are finding out how bad they screwed up.
I always heard that Ken was a backdoor man.
Blame it on Will & Grace.
I’m not at all offended by the existence of gag people. Many of them live decent lives.
I have an issue with their lifestyle and I won’t change my biblical views on morality as a result.
So there.
