Hallmark Channel faces backlash after pulling ads featuring a lesbian couple: 'Isn't it almost 2020?'

, GLAAD president Sarah Kate Ellis said:"The Hallmark Channel's decision to remove LGBTQ families in such a blatant way is discriminatory and especially hypocritical coming from a network that claims to present family programming and also recently stated they are 'open' to LGBTQ holiday movies.

"As so many other TV and cable networks showcase, LGBTQ families are part of family programming. Advertisers on The Hallmark Channel should see this news and question whether they want to be associated with a network that chooses to bow to fringe anti-LGBTQ activist groups, which solely exist to harm LGBTQ families."

Following the decision, a spokesperson for Zola said the company will no longer run advertisements on the Hallmark Channel.:"The only difference between the commercials that were flagged and the ones that were approved was that the commercials that did not meet Hallmark's standards included a lesbian couple kissing. Hallmark approved a commercial where a heterosexual couple kissed."

Chi added:"All kisses, couples and marriages are equal celebrations of love and we will no longer be advertising on Hallmark." reported that an employee of Crown Media Family Networks, Hallmark's parent company, said in an email exchange that ads"deemed controversial" are not accepted by the channel.that the"public displays of affection" by the women in the ad violated the channel's policies, but did not comment on why the Zola ads featuring a heterosexual couple were not rejected.

If court can rule that Baker doesn't have to bake cake for LGBT couple due to his religious beliefs, HM pulling its ad featuring lesbian couple's kiss. So, NEXT! HM has been around a long time. LGBT community...pick your battles wisely. This is NOT the battle that wins the war.

I like how these righteous folks try to pick which 'sins' they wanna be vocal about. All these movies with infidelity and premarital sex that air on the hallmarkchannel don't get so much as a mention, but somehow two women showing genuine love toward one another makes em angry.

News...... Really....... Newsweek, so sad..

Oh yeah, the Boomer channel!🙄
