I thought they aired the commercial but OMM complained, therefore Hallmark gave into their demands.

Anyways why get upset over a commercial with 2 brides kissing when Hallmark features an evil show called Good Witch?

[lifeinyouryears]

Same. I read it was OMM who complained

[trancexperiment]

Also... the actress in the Good Witch is in a long term relationship with another woman lol

[notoriousreign]

Is she?! omg cute

Hallmark?!?! Having weird bigoted/right-wing attitudes? I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

I've updated my Hallmark movie montage with 2019's crop. Poster formula still going strong. pic.twitter.com/om0CQoZ4lu

There’s not even a drop of racial ambiguity

[yeah_banana]

excuse you. sometimes the woman is standing on the right, and sometimes she's standing on the left. that's diversity.

[ljtryout]

lol. and the men always in green and the women in red.

They truly know their demographic lol.

"One Million" Moms strikes again

[brennans]

They have 96,419 people last I checked lol.

[archersangel]

That 96,000 more than I thought.

i love watching christmas tv movies 'cause I can just turn my brain off and enjoy the festive cheese, but... i'm getting fucking tired of them never featuring any gay couple, the POCs are nearly always relayed to background or side characters... are we in 1965?? get on with the program, Hallmark! at least Lifetime got a little better at it this year (tho the christian moms are already saying they're gonna boycott all their movies *roll eyes*)

[xtinkerbellax]

Lifetime has gotten more diverse but What is up with all the “xmas in Louisiana” “xmas in Mississippi” ones? There are even some that aren’t called that that might as well be lol

I’m doing 25 days of Christmas romcoms. If you have Hulu or Netflix they have some with PoCs leads, no LGBT+ leads in any of them.

Ghosting: The Spirit of Christmas on Hulu originally a freeform movie does have lesbian WoC secondary characters but they don’t even kiss.

Every holiday season I get annoyed that I can't just turn my brain off and enjoy a few cheesy holiday movies with lesbian/gay couples in them! We gays deserve a little cheese too 😭

One million moms need to get a life.
