Gay couple Christmas movie

I am very disappointed in the movie, “The Christmas House” which was aired on Sunday night, November 23. We have almost exclusively watched the Hallmark Christmas movies and Hallmark movies because of their family friendly content. This channel was not even turned on yesterday, November 23, because of this movie. Featuring a gay movie as a normal household is abnormal. This is against our moral values and we will not watch the movies with gay couples. If you continue to show these movies we will not be watching Hallmark movies channel in the future. If we want to see this type of content we can watch any mainstream station. Sad to see that Hallmark has bowed to the LBGTQ activists and agenda which is less than 5% of the population. A once family friendly channel has now lost all their conservative values.

Amoral values

The Hallmark movies are typically wonderful - with sweet endings, love stores and good values. However, Hallmark - looks like you are departing from your ways with A Christmas Movie. This movie could have been written just find without the gay men. The gay couple does not uphold the values throughout the Hallmark channel and movies. It's a slippery slope I hope Hallmark is not going down.

I will not be a fan nor supporter unless Hallmark retracts this movie and continues to show content with moral values which is the cornerstone of the Hallmark movies.

Very disappointed with Hallmark and your leadership.

Amoral values

The Christmas House movie is not appropriate - Hallmark has primarily held to good values, but this movie with the gay couple has destroyed this now. It's a slippery slope I'm concerned we'll see. The movie could be made without adding the gay element. I'll not be a Hallmark loyalist unless Hallmark retracts this movie and does not create any more amoral movies.

Homosexuality

I loved being able to raise my kids watching wholesome Christmas shpws. Now we have had to skip 2 movies recently due to the homosexual content. Loved the pure clean Christmas shows. Guess it is time to change my package and cancel Hallmark! Almost would rather watch NFL!!!!

The Christmas House

We bought Hallmark Channel just for the holidays. Sat down to watch a wholesome family Christmas movie, but got The Christmas House, featuring a gay couple. We are Christians and don’t believe the homosexual lifestyle is something we want to put on display for our kids. We talk about this issue, and they are not ignorant, but to display it as an ok choice is not something I’ll do as a parent. Sad bc we already have to censor every living movie Netflix show - everything. Hallmark was the ONE thing we could watch in peace. I could walk out if the room and feel ok about what was on. Not any more. We’ll be recording ahead of time to make sure we don’t record the homosexual episodes. If too many, we’ll unsubscribe for next year. Nice Hallmark caving to the activists instead of thinking about their actual customers. Hallmark, do you think young progressive gays watch Hallmark?! Give me a freaking break. BuBye

gay movie

Hallmark has stood for decades as movie a producer of wholesome family orientated movies. It is very disappointing that this has changed with the gay movie airing this Thanksgiving season. In a year when American families desperately needed good entertainment Hallmark has failed miserable. This viewer will no longer view your movies or purchase Hallmark items. So very disappointed.

The Christmas House

What happened to family values on this channel? If people wish to have a different lifestyle , that’s fine don’t force it on us through a traditionally Christian /family value network. What about all the other non Christian sexual orientation lifestyles ? Is that next ? How can some executive decide its ok for hallmark to present this to our families watching? What’s next ?
You have destroyed a good traditional family network .
I guess the next step is a gay Santa or what . O wait ... let’s tie him up with a little leather on !!!!
Congratulations on giving in to pressure from the few and not doing what is right and wanted by the overwhelming majority of your viewers .... or should I say former viewers .

Same sex couples

I sent an email a few days ago. I neglected to tell you that in my nearly seventy years I have never sent a letter of complaint. I also neglected to tell you that when I (used to) watch TV in the evening, my husband would join me watching the Hallmark channel 99% of the time.
When I sat down to rest in the evening and came
into the TV room,
my husband turned on the Hallmark channel. That was all of the p a s t years, but no more.
Good bye, Hallmark channel. You can see two men or two women kissing on most other channels.
It is so sad. I have watched your channel nearly exclusively for many many years.
Thanks for the memories.

Gay movie content

I am disappointed in your choice to cow tow to main stream media and their endless fight to try to normalize all things LGBT. Hallmark is the cornerstone of wholesome Christmas movies. To be clear, although homosexuality has always existed, it is not representative of a “normal” family or your viewership majority. So what this means is that you do not value your ratings to the point that you are willing to risk your target audience in order to appeal to a minority audience. Way to not care! Also, you should be respectful enough to remove “Christmas” from all of your movies as they are no longer “Christ” like at all with your new content of LGBT to be inclusive. Satan worshipers exists, pedophiles exists - are they on your holly jolly list for next year? I mean, after all, you want to be more diverse and inclusive! Surely a child sniffing Santa with evil elves and a gay love interest screams “traditional” Hallmark Christmas!

Deviant Lifestyles Being Promoted

I was shocked beyond belief when my granddaughter and I were watching a movie and two women got married. You had no warning on this movie. The channel was immediately turned never to be watched again. I have other friends who have stopped watching because of the same sex couples you are promoting in your movies. Hallmark was always the channel we could watch for good wholesome movies. Why did you cave to the pressure of a few? There are plenty of other shows available for deviant lifestyles. Give those of us who uphold strong morals and family values something to watch. What you are promoting is not acceptable!!! I , along with many others, can no longer watch your channel.

Gay Relationships

HALLMARK ARE YOU LISTENING?!?!?! We are shocked that you made such a leap from traditional, conservative family values to your new Christmas House movie. The bottom line I want you to understand is that this is a DRAMATIC departure from the values and relationships that have made your channels so popular and we aren’t going to put up with it!! If you won’t consider this from a morality standpoint then you need to look at your FINANCIAL BOTTOM LINE!! This can only hurt you Hallmark!! As someone else said, the LBGTQ community are not your main subscribers. You have given in to a small, noisy minority rather than sticking with what has made you popular, and profitable for you and your stakeholders. I agree with those who said that God speaks strongly against homosexuality in His Word. He loves the homosexual but hates the sin. Yet you are willing to blatantly go against His Word and the desire of your viewing audience. We will cancel all three of our Hallmark Channels if you don’t get back on track!! And we will definitely spread the word.

Years ago there was a Broadway play called, “Your Arm’s Too Short to Box with God”. Hallmark, YOUR arm is way too short to box with God, and I’ve read the end of the book – you lose!!

New Movie “The Christmas House”

My husband and I have been avid Hallmark Channel watchers for a few years now. It has been a place of feel good WHOLESOME movies that we as a family can always count on to avoid any societal agendas being shoved down our viewership! We subscribe to MANY Chanel’s and streaming services and still choose to watch Hallmark!!! With this new cave in to show same sex couples it has turned us off. Do you realize who your viewing population is? Just because some don’t like what you offer doesn’t mean you should forget your LOYAL base. We watch for the simplicity and difference from all other channels. We refuse to watch and be subjected to commercials that we don’t want to see.one more channel to avoid....PS I have several LGBTQ family members so it’s not a bias issue. Just a matter of principle and preference.

Homosexuality

Remind me where in the Bible it says homosexuality is acceptable? I’ve been a faithful watcher for years. It is even an event my mother in law and I enjoy over the holidays while the men are fishing. I’m so disgusted and disappointed that this so called Christian channel is showing movies against God’s word. I will no long support not watch this channel! Thanks for ruining the special time with my Mom.....

Homosexuality

Hallmark is supposed to be a Christian based channel but with your new format you will loose a big portion of your support as God is what made you good he can also take away .In the book of Romans chapter 1 God tells us how he hates homosexuality and what will happen to them .it's not a wise idea to give in to a minority and against God Almighty in these times Gods return is coming best not to be caught in unrighteousness. My wife and me have loved hallmark we are so disappointed that it's going down hill with the rest of the world we will not watch gay programing .

Hallmark No More

I am sorry to say that you are showing a movie with a gay couple as the main characters. you have lost my mother, me and many others that I have spoken with. Here is the deal. Your viewing audience is probably 90 percent heterosexual females. We will not relate to a gay male couple. Not one iota. Will we be happy for them that they are trying to adopt? Probably not, because I am a Bible believing Christian who sees that as against God. I will feel sad for the child that doesn't have a mom AND a dad. I'm not homophobic. I have friends who are gay. I do not relate to their lifestyle, nor do I pretend I think it's okay. They are wonderful people, but guess what? They don't watch Hallmark and WON'T watch Hallmark! Good luck with your viewing audience. it is going into the gutter after that airs. Most people don't have the research and information beforehand and will have to endure it until they realize what is going on. I wish you well. I recall the whole Christmas season where I kept my TV on the Hallmark Channel 24/7. No one could touch the remote! Not anymore. I will be subscribing to anything Hallmark is not a part of like PureFlix and UP TV. They still have values. That is where your audience is headed.

Movies with Gays/Lesbians

I am a longtime viewer, as is my 80-year-old mom who has Hallmark on her TV 24/7. Not now. She saw the commercial featuring the two gay men. Do you realize that the gay population is not your base viewing audience? Do you realize the majority of your viewers are heterosexual women ranging from teenagers to great great grandmothers, not to mention their husbands who don't have a problem sitting through a Hallmark movie? However, my dad LEFT the room and said he will never watch Hallmark again, just as my mother said. I will also not be watching Hallmark. It goes against my beliefs and I don't enjoy watching it. I watch Hallmark to NOT have an agenda shoved down my throat like I do on every other channel! I realize there are still channels out there that I can subscribe to, and I will, like Pureflix and Up TV. That is where my remote will go and my mother's too. Sorry, Hallmark. You have messed up miserably. I'm sure your 25% of the 5% of the gay population will enjoy your movie, but no one else. Do you know the reason we watch? We watch because it pulls at our heartstrings. We can relate to that couple that just can't quite get connected upon first meeting. We are rooting for them the entire episode and when they finally do, we are cheering and happy because we have all BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT! Is 90% of your population, especially Hallmark's viewing audience, going to be able to cheer for a gay couple? NO! They cannot relate to that! Get a clue!

Homosexual content

Dear Hallmark,
Since I have discovered Hallmark movies, it has been a safe, family friendly place where all who seek escape from problems can watch what can happen between a man and a woman when love blooms. There has been no worries about lewd sexual content. Like millions of others, I have spent too many hours watching your movies. I heard on the radio that a same sex movie was coming and now I see it advertised.
I beg you to not air this movie. You do not need to respond to my email as I know it is all about money and your fine organization caving in to the powerful homosexual lobby. Hallmark is no longer safe to watch.
This is very very bitterly disappointing. In my 67 years,I never thought I would live to see this happen. Stand firm, Hallmark folks!

Hallmark...the end of an era

My wife and I have always LOVED Hallmark movies, especially the Christmas movies; we watched them all...until now.
Now that you are bowing to the pressure of the LGBTQ community to make a Christmas movie about a gay couple, you have crossed the line into the "sad" category. The LGBTQ community has plenty of outlets promoting their unbiblical lifestyle; I see no good reason, other than the greed of money, for you to abandon your principles and cave in to political correctness. I don't hate gays; I pray for them; but I don't need to see movies about them on a channel that USED to be a family friendly channel to which Christian families could flock to watch Christmas movies...movies celebrating traditions created due to the birth of Jesus. Back when you made stuff like "The Christmas Card" you were awesome; now that you are making "The Christmas House"...not so much. I pray you get your moral compass back, and return to your roots. It is truly sad to see a flagship like Hallmark lose its way; it is the end of an era, and I find that just plain sad.

Congrats on Caving

Congratulations! You no longer have to carry around the cumbersome identity of a channel that has cornered the market on clean, conservative programming.

You no longer have to claim that you have the edge on so many other channels that have caved to the usual BS because you're afraid of being unpopular with a crowd that rarely notices you anyway. Now, all of your long-time loyal fans have two choices:

1) Keep watching and be insulted just so you can please a few people who could care less.
2) Find another channel and not be preached to.

You see, if people wanted to see gay TV, we could go anywhere. If we needed to be taught a lesson on how to think, from high minded people who assume they know more than we do, we could literally wake up and breathe, and the lessons from every direction would just fly up our nose.

You are dead to us and so many others. My family and I have watched Hallmark for close to twenty years and will now be leaving. Foolish, common sellouts is what you are.

Gay Couples on Hallmark Movies

I was so disappointed while watching Christmas with the Darlings to see flirting and all-out celebrating and encouraging of two lesbian women starting a relationship! I LOVE Hallmark and look forward to the movies all year. But the stress it caused me to see this happening on a movie that is supposed to bring relaxation and joy was so sickening. The movie (without the lesbian couple) had a great story line, but it was stressful for me wondering when and if the gay couple was going to be in the next scene. I should not have to be subjected to watching unnatural relationships in a movie; it took all the fun out of the movie. My husband actually left the room and refused to finish watching it. I was not happy with the way it played out and even though I watched to the end, I have decided it is not worth watching another one with a homosexual couple in it. Why do you have to ruin a great movie with natural relationships by inserting a couple with a very unnatural relationship? We have always paid to have cable and now streaming apps that show Hallmark movies, but we will not continue to watch Hallmark if you continue using homosexual couples. Please go back to your roots and produce movies that build character and faith in the traditional family and do not cater to the LGBTQ agenda. It does NOT represent a large majority of the population; on a very, very small percentage - less than 5%! And you also need to warn somehow that this type of unwholesomeness is in the movies you've already produced. So disappointed with Hallmark. I'm hoping you will redeem yourself.
