I give high praises to Candice Cameron Bure for leaving Hallmark due to the decision makers decision to make LGBTQ movies. I am very disappointed in the CEO's decision to make these kinds of movies on Hallmark.

Hallmark used to be a reliable wholesome viewing choice, in an otherwise overwhelming amount of opposing content on other channels. You caved in to pressure over Zola commercials, which was wrong and now the commercials and movies now airing on Hallmark, we no longer feel comfortable watching your channel.

The LGBTQ only makes up about 7% of the US population. There are well over 1000 channels available to pick from in the the US. What is so wrong about standing to your channels long standing values by keeping your content wholesome? Every other channel out there has LGBTQ movies available to watch. I didn't always choose to watch Hallmark and I watch a plethora of LGBTQ content elsewhere. I have a lesbian best friend, I helped someone through their choice to come out as trans, and I have a brother who is gay. No one would consider me judgemental or hateful at all. There is just something that bothers me of seeing that content on Hallmark. Even my brother can't stand it on there.

Consequently, we are all following Candace's lead and leaving Hallmark. We have cancelled our subscriptions, we have deleted our apps, and we are planning to make a stand with Candace, gathering a nice amount of social media influencers (LGBTQ individuals included) to join us. We will not be attending anymore fandom events, ot buying anymore Hallmark ornaments and cards.

Your 1 channel should have remained a wholesome choice out of the 1000 other choices available out there. What's next, you'll no longer have movies of faith on your network either? (Literally smh)

I am heartbroken to say goodbye to Hallmark, I will sincerely miss you.

Desired outcome: I would like the CEO and other decision makers to have the courage to stick to their longstanding wholesome content. Other stations are allowed to be 100% unwholesome, why can't you be the wholesome channel the channel of faith forever?

I really enjoyed the "veil" movies that just finished playing. Also, the 3 men and a baby was cute. The Christmas music was great in the beginning of the movies BUT way too loud during the movies. A Christmas CD would be great one to make so it could be purchased by viewers. I have started watching GAC and see more and more of the actors from Hallmark station. Too much of anything will turn viewers off. Maybe Hallmark needs to watch the movies they make and would understand why so many of the comments I have been reading are all the same. I hate the very loud music that is now on most of the shows. It is very distracting and adds nothing to the movie. Whatever, added affect you are going for, isn't working. It's just annoying!

Love both Hallmark and GAC but honestly every Mayor now Black? Token blacks in every commercial and movie. Clearly pushed on us. I enjoyed the Gladys Knight movie. I enjoyed the Peete movies. But White and black lovers just to me don’t have the chemistry. And where a country has over 50% of blacks born out of wedlock even black women are mad about black men and white women. Black actors are not the problem. How they are used is.
