They should be transparent about the whole development and decision switchbacks in this flip-flop-flip.

Lesbians should be seen and heard. (Believes lesbians are like unicorns. More of a fluid-pusher.)

I still would not buy cards.. Why? $5 to $10..a card? When you can donate in That persons name to a Cause they like..to a Candidate they support.. Write a note telling them.

This seems totally planned 🤔

Hallmark has the chance to show it's authentic after backtracking on same-sex couples adsAfter first bowing to pressure from conservatives, Hallmark apologized for pulling ads from a site featuring same-sex couples. Now it can take a bigger stand. This tells me Buttigieg will be our next president. Even a network whose target demographic is senior citizens living in rural areas must kowtow to the Gay Agenda. Thought police strick again, and CNBC joins the pile on. Mao's Red Guard used to force any with ideological errors to kneel in the town square and apologize for their lack of fidelity to Mao's ideology....before being dragged off to a re-education camp. Chick-file, and now Hallmark; battered by the GAYstapo into public apologies.

Oh yeah, the Boomer channel!🙄 News...... Really....... Newsweek, so sad.. I like how these righteous folks try to pick which 'sins' they wanna be vocal about.
