Hallmark Channel Reinstates Gay Marriage Ads, Citing 'Wrong Decision' After Intense Criticism
JOCELYN NOVECK / AP

(NEW YORK) — The Hallmark Channel, reversing what it called a “wrong decision,” said Sunday it will reinstate commercials featuring same-sex couples that it had pulled following a complaint from a conservative group.

The earlier decision by Crown Media, Hallmark’s parent company, to pull several ads for the wedding planning site Zola featuring two brides kissing at the altar had launched a storm of protest. Celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres and William Shatner criticized the move and the hashtag #BoycottHallmarkChannel was trending on Twitter at one point.

“The Crown Media team has been agonizing over this decision as we’ve seen the hurt it has unintentionally caused,” said a statement issued Sunday evening by Hallmark Cards CEO Mike Perry. “Said simply, they believe this was the wrong decision. … We are truly sorry for the hurt and disappointment this has caused.”

I can remember when Hallmark was synomomous with famiy values, and visuals of a blend of a Norman Rockwell and Thomas Kinkade.

Now it's A SJW pukefest and lezbo kisses.

Fine with me if they implode.   I get sick of those sappy Christmas shows my wife likes anyway.
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.
