I've never been able to understand individuals who don't think "love" is wholesome or a strong value. Anyone who leaves the channel because of stories of love between two same sex individuals really should be reevaluating their beliefs. I've been around same sex couples whose relationships are long-term and are heartening with their true friendship and love in the face of physical abuse and verbal abuse like this. Heterosexual couples do not have the sole rights to love, honor, and friendship. Shame on all of you tout religious values as the basis for hate such as this or cry about your child's exposure to homosexual love. 1) I don't know of any children that "like" the Hallmark Channel. 2) children are dealing with far worse things in their lives such as cyber bullying, violence in the schools, and worrying about how climate change will affect their futures. Grow up and face the real issues instead of trying to hurt others.

I support you 100% on your decision to not show same sex commercial, Hallmark is a name that has always ment family, clean movies, and a trusted network!! I believe you will be blessed by this, thank you for keeping it clean

so On movie Dollywood and the end of the reading of the Night before Christmas at the end it didnt say HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT IT SAID MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT Relly you had to change it to Happy That so Bull whats up with you guys .. I so Love Hallmark but when change the true word for the false one its not RI RIGHT

As an obsessed Hallmark fan, I was a bit troubled when you so awkwardly added people of Jewish descent and made them look foolish. We all know all about Xmas quite thoroughly and don't need schooling. But then refusing to air commercials that include women showing their love which is perfectly legal in our country might put me over the fence. I will have to burn my special blanket for watching Hallmark movies if you prove to be a bigoted company that does not include all people in a flattering light. I am so disappointed in the values you are projecting to my grandchildren who have been brought up to feel comfortable with all religions and all people who love each other to be comfortable in their own skins. This kind of thinking is what makes our country so much less than it could be.

I love the hallmark channel, especially during the holidays. I saw the commercial in question, and had no issues with it. The commercial was lovely, the filming was lovely, and it was clear that there was love in the air. I’m a Christian, but I believe that means loving people for who they are and not judging them. I am so tired of all of the hate in the world. These movies are all about love. What’s wrong about showing loving families and couples in love during commercials. Gay people exist - if people are concerned about one commercial amongst the thousands they see in general, and that is the one thing they focus on, why would you give in to that kind of hate. I think of the young college student or senior in high school and wonder how it would make them feel to see themselves represented in the world, even once. Wow, that’s important. I will not watch the hallmark channels going forward because I reject that people who call themselves Christians can’t accept people who love a person of the same sex. I’m very disappointed.

It's very telling that so few of your holiday movies feature non straight white actors. It's nearly 2020, you need to up your game. These boomers aren't going to pay your ad revenue for ever.

I love the hallmark movies, though I’ve often noted their lack of diversity in general. The fact that you can’t even include commercials where there may be same sex couples is appalling. Hallmark movies are all about love...how can you possibly justify rejecting commercials that include same sex couples in love. I am a Christian, and believe that love is the most powerful emotion out there. I’m very disappointed. Glad I just discovered this now...I am tired of all the hate in the world, but I cannot support the hallmark channels going forward.

Gay movies and commercials on hallmark

It's ridiculous that you would include the LGBTQ movement on your channel. As a Christian family it is important to use to promote programming to our family that is wholesome and moral. Thus far you are one of our favorites. However, we will discontinue watching any of your programming if the LGBTQ movement begins to creep into your programming, including features or advertising. Get your act together and quit the politically correct garbage for the one percent of the population. You already have a vast viewership. Moving in this direction will alienate millions of viewers.

I don't watch hallmark channel but to hear a campaign called One Million moms have a fit over a wedding for 2 women? This group does not speak for everyone, they don't speak for me. A wedding, these 2 women were celebrating their love for each other. Its that simple. If you yank a commercial with two women you might well yank every commercial with a man and a woman in it. Zola put time and energy into that commercial, that is to be respected like any other commercial out there. LGBT agenda, Hallmark shoves the straight agenda down the throats of America every time they have a movie or TV show with the 2 leads being male and female. Kids who identify like those two women felt some relief and now because of a small minded group, that hope and relief was taken. Thank you hallmark for caving to the pressure of being "family friendly". Where do you think these two women came from? A space ship? They came from a family, a home like anyone else.

I’m already offended with the forced programming that we’re exposed to with the LGBT issues on other networks and have reduced what channels we watch as a family. If Hallmark continues with adding commercials and programming that depict LGBT, we will stop watching Hallmark.

what ever happened to morality and clean movies???? I refuse to watch perverted movies. Sad that you are caving to pressure.

EMBRACE ALL FAITHS, RACES, AND EMBRACE THE LGBT COMMUNITY. The hypocrisy of your so-called-Christian-mothers is absolutely disgusting.

Our house hold has enjoyed the Hallmark Channel for over 30 years, almost three generations now. We rarely watch the local Networks. Most everything we watch is streamed, and hand picked based on the content we choose to enjoy and expose our family to. If Hallmark Crown Entertainment wants to make Gay/Lesbian movies and Commercials that’s your choice, but please give them their own channel. We Have the Black Entertainment Channel, several Spanish Speaking Channels and Adult Content Channels. By having a LGBTQ Network, people will have the option to watch or not watch that type of programming. I’m not against the LGBTQ Community. I’m just saying they should be given the choice to watch what they enjoy without infringing on my choices and what I and my family enjoy.

I am the “Queen of Hallmark”!!! I know every movie by heart and not only look forward to the new premieres but also watch all of the reruns over and over!!! Hallmark is definitely a happy spot in my life!! I am the mother of 4 children. I taught elementary school for 33 years along with being a Sunday School teacher, Christian Ed Director, and VBS Coordinator. Our daughter is a happily married lesbian. She and her wife are the happiest I have ever seen my daughter. They are hardworking, loving humans and deserve love and respect. God made them and their beautiful friends. I was taught long ago that God our Father and through His Son Jesus Christ are the judges of us all...not so many humans who think it is their job to do so!! I hope that Hallmark will do the right thing and embrace love for all of mankind! That is Hallmark to me!!!

Catch s Christmas Star was scheduled to show on the Dec. 17th and 20th. I checked my reminders for that movie, only to find out that it won't show again until Dec27th. The fact that two showings were removed, makes me wonder if you will show it on the 27th.That movie is so much better than many of the new movies Please put it on several hank you!

Count my wife and I as two more that don’t appreciate your drift towards an immoral agenda. Please keep your wholesome family oriented programs

I like the hallmark channel, but rarely watch anymore because I believe that leaving out entire groups of people from starring in programs or advertisements hosted on the hallmark channels is wrong. I thought the zola.com ad was lovely and beautifully portrayed.

It's time to add even more diversity!

The world is large and everyone should be free to be who they are, to love who they love, and not judged based on who they were born to be.

Judge someone based on how much they love or hate, the kindness and compassion they show others--not on gender/gender identify, sexuality, religion, ethnicity, nationality, appearance, or so many other things that a person has no control over from birth.

These could be your sons and daughters!

Its time to throw bigotry out the window!

Make way for the generation of acceptance!

I was so disappointed when I read that you were pulling
the inclusive Zola commercials. Please do not let your decisions be influenced by right wing snowflakes. America is diverse and your movies and ads should reflect that.

PLEASE Hallmark refrain from being pulled into the gay agenda. Stay the course of what you do so well!! You’re the loved family friendly channel.That’s exactly why you’re so popular!! Don’t make us pull our subscriptions cuz we’re you’re market. I never have to explain anything to my grandkids
A faithful $$$ Hallmark viewer but won’t compromise my values if you decide to switch yours!!
Thanks,

So happy that my grandkids and I can watch all your wonderful movies without having to see that lesbian commercial, sorry I was not going to watch Hallmark anymore, and went to the Lifetime channel for their holiday movies which are not as family friendly as your channel.
Had taped about 14 movies and would watch one every night, well I deleted all the Hallmark movies.
So glad that you listen to your loyal fans.

Hallmark, I had been watching your movies and the Holiday Movies, but after what you pulled on us with that kiss between two women decided that I would delete all the movies I had taped for future watching, and went to Lifetime for their movies, which to me are not as good and wholesome as Hallmark. So glad I can watch Hallmark with my grandkids again.
Thanks for listening to your loyal customers!!!!

I have been a subscriber for years to the Hallmark Now and regular programming. I look to your channel for the movies and CLEAN COMMERCIALS. Are you that desperate. Remove immediately the commercial or you WILL LOSE MY SUBSCRIPTIONS.
SHAME ON YOU HALLMARK!!!

Don’t change!! We all need to be supportive and respectful of people’s life style. This campaign to remove commercials that “people” are uncomfortable with is ridiculous, every day we walk down the street and see things that are way worst and uncomfortable than a same sex marriage commercial.
The reality is same sex marriage exists so get over it.
Love is love so stop spreading hate!!!
