Fraus are outraged over new Hallmark ad with two women kissing!

[quote]In response to the ad, One Million Moms wrote

How are these cunts still a thing in 2019?

The fraus have a point according to many DLers who tend to lean racist and bigoted. Don't you racist, white gays always say:

"PC culture is destroying the country" and "This is why Trump won" in your coddling of bigots and racists who vote GOP? Or do you think that only applies to non-whites being treated like human beings?

Maybe One Million Moms watched all those shitty gay rom-coms on the Dekkoo Channel and didn't want the poor quality to rub off on Hallmark.

R2 just made TOO MUCH SENSE for most DLers

R4 - Stop commenting on your own posts. Sheesh.

R2 Let's see there is One Million Moms, a fringe organization and then there is 99% of Twitter which is just as annoying and just as likely to hide behind their false virtue. I wonder which one is more influential.

Why is there always some cunt in any thread who loves to bash on the DL and "other DLers"? Bitch, you're a DLer too, stop acting like you're a saint.

Gay Christmas rom-coms...oh my.

One Million Moms are also mostly ultra religious or stupid people, Twitter is supposed to be more enlightened and more educated. Yeah right.

R8 for Gay Frauen

How about the whole Hallmark channel go away? Problem solved. No one needs this bullshit programming.

R6, just stop it. You guys will -for example- start a thread about some small, liberal arts college doing something "woke" and then start your bullshit about how it's the reason Trump won and you attach their behavior to every other liberal and then scream about "pc culture running amok." A lot of you lack introspection when it comes to this shit and you know it. The people who vote for Trump due to "woke" crap see something like this Hallmark ad as part of the problem and an impediment to their utopia.

Why certain gays don't get that they are not an exception to what is considered "pc culture" as they bitch about it, is beyond me.

One Million Mom's is notorious for getting Disney Channel shows with gay representation wiped from the air. They still have power over the media, whether people want to believe it or not.

One Dozen Moms

R12 your problem is assuming every poster here is gay.

I am more concerned with how ugly the suit is on the one on the right. Just awful.

R12 "The people who vote for Trump due to "woke" crap see something like this Hallmark ad as part of the problem and an impediment to their utopia."

Thank you. The real obsession with "identity politics" is on the right. "One Million Moms" is about 20 people, tops (and probably lots of men), and their hate gets bullhorned over and over. Meanwhile the left can barely get a word in when it comes to political power and social influence.

It don't bother me.

So watch the godawful Dekkoo Channel. Problem solved.

Hallmark channel knows what they're doing. Most people who watch the shit they show won't care. The loud assholes (The Dozen Frau) are going to drum up support for Hallmark from the left. No dumpy lonely girl is going to stop watching a woman like herself fall in love with a stud. Only a win for Hallmark.

I love how gays think homophobia is a minority group.

Fraus will totally love the gay storylines because there will be TWO handsome men, as well as their straight girlfriends (i.e., themselves) who at first don't like the new guy, but then come to love him.

Gays will watch it because of the hot guys and the lack of actual gay culture like Grindr or gym cruising, and women will watch it because they all secretly want a handsome gay best friend. Totally untapped market.

And racist white gays will watch because it will inevitably be all white hot gay men that look like Ken Dolls and look alike.

R23 you have a very cynical worldview. I pity you.

Of course, the anti gay trolls hate it. And of course, the Dozen, or so, Moms pretend to be gay or gay allies and shit on pro gay programming like some alt-right trolls "I am a die hard Liberal, but the way Hillary handled her emails ...!".

And, OF COURSE, a sappy and cheesy TV channel like Hallmark is the absolute worst thing right now, because Christmas is supposed to be for anybody but the gays.

These One Million (behind the curve of changed times) Moms need to get a clue already. Their "but but but traditional marriage!" battle cry is as tedious as it is futile. The future is already here, bitches. Catch the fuck up.

Cunts

Holemark

Of COURSE Hallmark would have an ad with two women kissing, as it's easier to accept for the straight bigots than two men kissing.

Sure, R29, because it's only beer-drinking, football watching, porn-consuming straight guys who watch the Hallmark channel.

On what planet do you think it's straight women who are into the lesbian thing?

A huge majority of Hallmarks demographic is women.

One Million Moms got the ads pulled

And, once Hallmark pulled the ads, the wedding planning company pulled all their advertising from Hallmark.

Good for them. That's capitalism, R33.

HallMark will do fine.

They know who their audience is. They shouldn’t have done this to begin with.

Forty Frigid Cunts strike again.

[quote]Of COURSE Hallmark would have an ad with two women kissing, as it's easier to accept for the straight bigots than two men kissing.

Exactly what I thought. And you can bet if they ever do have a gay Hallmark movie, it will be a lesbian movie instead of gay men, even though they have a sizeable gay male viewership (for some reason).

I posted this on Yahoo about this article "Some of those million moms are going to have gay or lesbian children, sad that they don't want those children to have a happy life."

Some asshole responded "so make the few happy and oppress the masses?"

They actually think having gay people exist and live their lives is oppressing the masses, un-fucking believable.

Most people think like them. I always say gays should stop believing the made up media.

We’ve obviously made some significant progress. But we clearly have a long way to go.

How do I block the Hallmark channel from my cable?

We should all be writing to Hallmark and tell them how much we detest their stance.

That’s what Million Moms did and Hallmark acted

Million Moms has a strong voice.

For you people constantly whining about Twitter and "woke culture," #BoycottHallmark is trending.

Hallmark will only get even more viewers now because of that trend

No one in their right mind can sit through that 24 hour Thomas Kinkade shit, R45. No one.

I've always liked the lesbians.

The only thing that matters is how the "Hallmarkies" think.

That's the online name of the uber Hallmark fans. I'll bet they do the right thing!

[quote] I posted this on Yahoo about this article

That's like knowingly lying down with dogs and complaining that you woke up covered in fleas.

Lots of straight women are into m/m romance. Lots of straight women consume gay porn. I don't get why more companies aren't going for that audience.

I just checked out One Million Moms website. Good God.

One Million Moms == ten barren-wombed Karen Pence knockoffs, who’ve managed to achieve lesbian bed-death while being married to a male.

Hell will freeze over before they make an ad like this about two men kissing. Two women kissing is more acceptable.

I knew that line about Hallfart contemplating a gay Christmas special was total rubbish. This only proves how beholden they are to these Uberfraus.

They can’t lose their audience r54. It’s not like if they start playing gay movies they will gain millions of new viewers. They know that. They will lose viewers.

I'm sure Mayor Pete would consider it "virtue-signaling" if people boycotted Hallmark.

Right, R56?

It's only virtue-signaling when liberals take any stance. Meanwhile, those dumbfucks on the right scream about boycotting Starbucks over cups and Gillette over ads, Nike over Colin K (literally setting fire to sneakers). Not a single one of those meaningless, loud attempts at virtue-signaling is ever mentioned by enablers like Pete and other "moderate" Dems.

Funny you should mention Pete. He already has a tweet for this. (I'm not sure any other candidate has bothered with this issue.)

[quote] Families are built on love—no matter what they look like.

[quote] Being “family friendly” means honoring love, not censoring difference. This truth will be more important than ever as we rebuild our nation into a place defined by belonging, not by exclusion.

Breaking news.

[quote]"The Hallmark Channel is reversing course after it had pulled an ad featuring a same-sex couple kissing at the altar. The CEO is now apologizing..."

r57 is so angry and so wrong. But what else is new. Glad r58 spanked his lying ass.

^^ Add r56 to the list of those eating crow.

R60, actually, I'm not wrong. What he said was not targeted at homophobes the way he targets fellow liberals. It was some innocuous "love thy neighbor" crap. He reserves his vitriol for actual liberals.

Most straights secretly think like those women,they just dont come out and say it . Otherwise , how would these harpies have the influence they seemingly have ? Ive said it over and over on here and was lamblasted for it , but here it goes again . Most straights secretly look down on you . Its going to get worse in the future , mark my words .

R63 i say the same thing and get attacked.

I quite like Mayor Pete's response. Dignified, to the point, but warm. Fuck Hallfart.

r65 yes, we all must love everyone!

They should be called One Million Bigoted Moms. They're disgusting.

Yes, you're wrong, R62. Pete has no vitriol for anyone. He contrasts his positions with the other candidates, which is what someone running for president should do. It's the woke left who are insanely hateful toward him, especially the Bros. They concentrate on no one else (Biden and the rest get a pass). In fact, just today, a Bro running for Congress in TX said that Pete should be hanged for his position on M4A. Typical Bernie Bro.

Sunday, December 15: Hallmark has reversed their decision, and will "reinstate" the ads.

Why do any of you care???? You don’t watch the channel regardless

R70 I'm man enough to admit I do. The Christmas specials may not be my go to, but there have been several shows I keep up with: Chesapeake Shores, and the Murder Mysteries. I've taken a liking to the witch series as of late too. You underestimate Hallfart's breadth.

[quote] You don’t watch the channel regardless

That’s not really the point though, is it? This became an injustice aimed at the LGBTQ community. In the face of that, we don’t need to remain silent simply because some of us don’t watch the Hallmark channel.

The so-called “Million (sic) Moms” claimed that same-sex couples are second-class citizens who should be invisible. That kind of nonsensical thinking should be challenged wherever and whenever it occurs. It is insidious and quite dangerous to let that go unanswered.

Throughout history, the movement for civil and equal rights has relied on people not directly affected by the violations of those rights to stand up to bigotry and intolerance.

Well said R72.

Not well said.

If you’re gonna demand LGBT characters on a network whose audience is over 90% straight (and white) then you better be tuning in when they tune out. Otherwise all you did was fuck over a channel and put many out of work because you’re greedy and selfish.

r74

The only ones being "greedy and selfish" are the bigots.

🙄 Moving the goalposts. Supporting the businesses that do the right thing is an entirely different consideration from caring in the first place:

[quote] [bold] Why do any of you care???? [/bold] You don’t watch the channel regardless

Yes, of course, we should be supportive of businesses and organizations that support us especially in the face of opposition from intolerant haters. But, it is unlikely that bigots are going to have much of an impact here. They’ll fuss and complain, but Hallmark already made a swift business calculation that siding with the bigots was a far bigger problem than siding with the LGBTQ community. Plus, most of those fraus aren’t going to give up their ornaments or sappy movies because of a lesbian kiss.

Haven't you watched TV news since last night? Hallmark has reversed their decision.

Yes, R77, we know.

Apparently large numbers of non frau women were equally upset with the pulling of the advert.

Hallmark is just attempting to be “progressive”.

And as usual you all eat this nonsense up and believe the majority are on your side. It must be sad to be so naive at old age.

R80 what got stuck up your cunt today?

It’s just the truth

r63 I feel ya. I work in Chicago and have to remind myself that just because most of my 20-30 something peers appear to be accepting, the trust is rarely shown at work. I have this 31 year old, hot as fuck coworker that was having a one-on-one conversation with another married co-worker from the burbs. While the hottie was always nice to me and everyone, I heard him talking about trying to move his young family out of IL because "It's just so liberal". He went on to say that he just couldn't handle it. I finished getting my drink from the bar and silently moved away, but it's always made me side-eye what he meant.

My manager is the same way. She's told me a couple of stories about her friends. They all sound like conservatives the way she describes them and my manager is married to a former marine so I always got a closet republican vibe about her.

Conservatives will smile in your face but stab you in the back at the ballot box. I respect the vocal liberals and conservatives, at least you know what you're getting. It's the fake, typically married bitches (male and female) that piss me off.

Sorry you feel that way at work R3, I also live in Chicago, but don't feel oppressed by conservatives. I'm retired, and live in a hipster neighbourhood gone yuppie. Even spending much time in the suburbs lately with a boyfriend, I don't run into it.

I'd like to remind everyone that Hallmark isn't a religious organisation. They have a line of LGBT greeting cards, and were the first large company to launch "coming out" cards, almost two decades ago. They know their viewers include a large proportion of LGBT Americans. Theyalso get consistently high marks from GLAAD for being an inclusive employer, and good workplace. They initially made a false step, but ate correcting course

^ first part for R83

r83 here. Oh, I don't feel oppressed by them, but I truly appreciate your kind words! I just a nosy bitch that gets a hoot out catching them when their conservatism comes out. Again, everyone has been perfectly nice and never let my sexuality or race become a known issue. My Trump-voting friends from back home were also nice people, it doesn't mean I give there enabling asses the time of day anymore.

I agree with r63 when it comes to straight people's view of the LGBT community. It's like the, "Not in my back yard", or on my TV, type of situation. In theory, a majority support us, in the abstract, but unless but I think they'd also prefer to keep their television heterosexual and the term "Family Friendly" to mean straight. Especially, once they start reproducing. Gay and lesbian it still closely aligned with sex more so than relationship to many straight people. But things are getting better. r84, thanks for the Hallmark information!

Cheers R86. I do get your point regarding backyards. Hallmark still needs to come a ways with a bit more diverse programming too. They're probably just getting their feet wet.

Isnt this what LOGO was invented for ? Does anyone even bother watching or supporting them anymore ?

r88

Logo canceled all of the shows I liked so stopped watching.

It was r88, but like BET, one channel isn't enough. LOGO was created out of necessity, and for profit. Unfortunately, the profits were few and far in between which is why it no longer exists.

We aren't looking for separate but unequal. We aren't some aliens from deep space. We are regular couples that have been loyal customers to companies like Hallmark. Zola paid to have their product, which so happens to feature a same-sex couple taking part in marriage, a family-friendly ideal that aligns with Hallmark's brand. Hallmark accepted their money, so they needed to keep up their end of the contract and show the ad.

Logo's awful because they edit the shit out of all the shows AND truncate them so they can shoehorn in more ads. All the Viacom properties do that - MTV as well. The shows get shorter and shorter and the ads longer and longer. So no one wants to watch it when you're just going to get heavily edited content and 500x more ads than you would on any other channel. They killed it themselves.

Additional bad press for the network-

[quote] Hilarie Burton claims Hallmark fired her over inclusivity demands: 'The bigotry comes from the top' From her tweets:

[quote] “Just going through some old emails from a #Hallmark job I was “let go” from back in January. I had insisted on a LGBTQ character, an interracial couple and diverse casting. I was polite, direct and professional. But after the execs gave their notes on the script and NONE of my Requests were honored, I was told “take it or leave it”. I left it. And the paycheck. S----y being penalized for standing up for inclusivity. I really wanted that job. It was close to my house. It paid really well. It was about the military, which you all know I hold dear.”

[quote] “I'd walk away again in a heartbeat. The bigotry comes from the top and permeates the whole deal over there. I’ve been loudly cheering for @lifetimetv all year because they heard my concerns + RALLIED! You want inclusive Christmas magic?! We got it. Love is love🏳️‍🌈🎄💖 #receipts”

Burton's husband is Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Negan on The Walking Dead.)

[quote] "Key point here: I have a wonderful husband @JDMorgan who works his ass off so I have the luxury to choose morals over paying bills. Not everyone has that! Nor should we be forced to be dependent. If I had to cover our mortgage and was told “take it or leave it”, I’d be fucked."

R92, Jeffrey Dean Morgan also played the father on 'Supernatural' and on "Magic City'.

What infuriates me about the One Million Crampy Mom's demand is that they insist the commercial is not "family-friendly". I should be able to come up with a better way to respond to this, but I keep coming back to a simple and direct "Fuck you, bitches!"

Meanwhile, thr husbands of those fraus would secretly love to see two hot, naked women kissing.
