...focus on "traditional marriage" instead:

While Hallmark Channel is leaning into more inclusive storylines, Candace Cameron Bure and Great American Family are seemingly doing the opposite. In a new interview with The Wall Street Journal, Bure, who exited Hallmark to join former CEO Bill Abbott at the new company earlier this year, opened up about her new role as chief creative officer.

My heart wants to tell stories that have more meaning and purpose and depth behind them, she said about making the change. I knew that the people behind Great American Family were Christians that love the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family entertainment.

Not only is Bure able star in her choice of films, but shes also producing religious titles under the Candace Cameron Bure Presents banner. Still, the move has come with a great deal of controversy, with her telling WSJ that Hallmark is basically is a completely different network than when I started because of the change of leadership. (The network, in turn, commented, We want all viewers to see themselves in our programming and everyone is welcome.)

While Hallmark is doing a strong push for more LGBTQ+ storylines their first original holiday movie focused on a same-sex couple debuts next month that wont be happening at Great American Family, Bure said.

I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core, she said. Abbott added, Its certainly the year 2022, so were aware of the trends. Theres no whiteboard that says, Yes, this or No, well never go here.'

In September, Abbott and Bure spoke with Variety about their plans to grow the network. When asked about including more diverse stories, Abbott explained, Sometimes were not thought of by people who are really good at those storylines and so we have to go seek them In growing this business, its much a much heavier lift than I ever thought. I knew it was going to be hard, but not this hard. And so, well get there, but its not an overnight thing.

He also stated that over time there will likely be opportunity to celebrate other faiths, rather than just Christianity and Christmas. We dont have the luxury of having 30 people in development being able to take meetings with a lot of different people. We take as many as we can, but time is limited in the day, he added

I think we know the core audience and what they love is exactly how Bill originally built the Hallmark Channel, said Bure. That was Christmas and those traditional holidays, so thats what the focus is going to be. Youve got to start somewhere. You cant do everything at once.

Reminder that these same traditional marriage people also had an issue with interracial couples in commercials and movies.

Having not once in my life watched a Hallmark movie, I always figured she wasn't as big a Christian loon as her cousin. Also lol @ referring to the existence of LGBTQ relationships as "being aware of the trends".

OK. They'll make movies that show more "traditional" families, whatever that means, and Hallmark will show more inclusive families in theirs.

There's 500 channels, and an additional 40 streaming services.

No one is forcing you to watch either.

The irony is the people you're calling out feel that "You cannot call yourself a Christian, a good person when you don't equate gay featuring media as something bad"

They view it as a direct, corrupting attack on Christian values and as an attack on their children.

To this day I never made the connection myself...lol.
Though I probably thought it was odd to hear the Cameron back then outside of my family.

But ya, I never really even thought of that.

It's sad that I read the Christian line and immediately pinged that she's all about white straight nuclear families being above all else.

Genuine loving Christians out there get repped by shitters like this lady.
