Hallmark still afraid of 'the gays'

boycott

Pandering, meandering.

Awesome. These christian hate-mongers are absolutely obsessed with gay people. I don’t get it. So much hate for a group that says they’re all about “love”. Riiiight... Pathetic

We are gonna perfect ourselves into silence as everything offends someone. Funny thing is we think we are so great while all anyone does is bully people to get what they want. You know bullying, that thing everyone says is bad but we do it every day

why are you sorry? dummies

Who cares?! So over the stupidity. Most people don't care if a person is gay or straight. That's so 90's. You can't find a tv show that doesn't have 1 or more gay characters in it.

Why should they have to apologize?
