Hallmark added that they would start working with the LGBTQ media advocacy group GLAAD to figure out ways “to better represent the LGBTQ community across our portfolio of brands.”
“The Hallmark Channel’s decision to correct its mistake sends an important message to LGBTQ people and represents a major loss for fringe organizations, like One Million Moms, whose sole purpose is to hurt families like mine,” said GLAAD president and chief executive Sarah Kate Ellis. “LGBTQ people are, and will continue to be, a part of advertisements and family programming, and that will never change.
Zola’s chief market officer Mike Chi also praised Hallmark’s decision to reinstate the ads, saying, “We were deeply troubled when Hallmark rejected our commercials for featuring a lesbian couple celebrating their marriage, and are relieved to see that decision was reversed. We are humbled by everyone who showed support not only for Zola, but for all the LGBTQ couples and families who express their love on their wedding day, and every day.
This controversy is interesting bc this Xmas movie season, both Lifetime and ABC included a male married couple 🤔 (A Christmas Wish w/Hillarie Burton and Same Time, Next Christmas with Lea Michele). Kudos to Hallmark for admitting their fail.

Hallmark Channel faces backlash after pulling ads featuring a lesbian couple: 'Isn't it almost 2020?'The Hallmark Channel sparked outrage on social media after it dropped ads promoting wedding planning website Zola that featured same-sex couples. 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. 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.

Hallmark apologizes for pulling gay wedding adsThe Hallmark Channel today reversed its ban on the Zola advertisements featuring a lesbian couple kissing and apologized for pulling them in the first place, a spokesperson from the network told CNN. Why not have one of the lesbians have a short haircut and a huge wallet chain? I should hope so. Shouldn’t have been homophobic in the first place. Because backlash is a bitch!!
