Characters in movies

I have been watching the wholesome movies on Hallmark Channel for years. It’s the only channel I can watch with my family and not be worried about the content. After watching Love under the Olive Tree, I may be done watching Hallmark. I don’t know why, after years of not succumbing to airing homosexual characters, they are slowly introducing them. Well, I guess I do know why. The LGBQ community complained about Hallmark pulling certain ads, and in order not to hurt their feelings, they changed their minds. What about the feelings of those who don’t want to be exposed to homosexuality when they are watching tv/movies? You’re hurting our feelings too. What will the Hallmark Execs do now? People have a right to live how they want to, and I have a right not to be subjected to homosexuality every time I watch a show/movie. That’s why I loved the Hallmark Channel. If I wanted to watch homosexuality, I’d watch ABC, CBS, NBC etc.... I’m glad there is still UP Tv and Pixel.

Hallmark Channel programming

Many of us have been thankful that Hallmark Channel has held the line against all of this same gender mess. It seems they are now slipping. A recent movie "Matching Hearts" had a scene at the end that Hallmark certainly put there on purpose (two men together alluding to a Valentine relationship) - perhaps to see if they would get any reaction. If they continue down the slippery slope they will indeed get one. There are many waiting to see where Hallmark goes from here. Hallmark intentionally put that scene in. Many will intentionally cancel subscriptions and associations with Hallmark should this continue. Please remove these same gender relationships, ads, scenes and suggestions from your programming.

Christmas movies

I am so sick of Christmas movies being on 24-7 and for soooo long. Christmas is now over and it is way past time to get back to regular programming. You are making people hate christmas. Come on now Christmas movies from October. Get real! Please! Please! Back to regular programming. Like Columbo. Diagnosis Murder. The good shows.

Gay/Lesbians/Commercial

This used to be our favorite channel. So family originated and a place to watch movies that created joy and to forget about the problems in our world. Not only do you show gays and lesbians now you are showing the commercial about a man sitting on the toilet , pooping and are advertising a spray to use to prevent orders. Hallmark why are you directly destroying something you have built up to be a great thing for family. Now you are and embarrassment to families. Get rid of the gay, lesbians, and toilet commercials. We will rid of you as well as many friends and families that you have disappointed. Hopefully you will take inconsideration of other complaints and do the right thing. Merry Christmas

Too many Christmas movies too long

Hallmark....PLEASE stop playing continuous Christmas movies on both Hallmark channels for sooo long. Also what is up with Christmas in July. What is the reason for the Christmas overload? I paid additional for my cable just to have the Hallmark channels and now have not watched in months. Please bring back your regular programming and the great classic shows that are enjoyed by the Hallmark viewers. Overload on Christmas movies takes away from the Christmas spirit....way too much!

Media

You are choosing to lose 99% of your viewers for the 1%. Thank you for losing our respect for the things you choose to do. ✌🏻Out to all you worthless actors. Just trying to follow a fad. It’s sad and disappointing. Go to other networks where they have that crap there instead of choosing to throw it in our faces on a channel that we thought is safe from the liberal political agenda.

Gay Lesbian Agenda

Please, please, Hallmark station, do not buckle under pressure and begin to show gay and lesbian couples in your movies, commercials, and on your specials.

It is the only station left to watch wholesome programs. Our world is being turned upside down
because of pressures from the extreme liberals and gay and lesbian population. Please DO NOT cave into the pressure, and please continue to show wholesome movies with true family values.

Thank you

Endorsing homosexuality

Absolutely appalled by your decision to reverse your decision on not airing homosexual content.

My family and I have been faithful customers for many many years.... You just lost like 40 of us, and we haven't even finished talking to other family members or friends.

It is disgusting that you caved to such a perverse and sick group of people. They do not represent the average family and it is disgusting how they continue to push their disgusting perversion on the rest of us.

It's even more disgusting that companies like you fold and give these people their way. So I guess when the disgusting pedophiles finally win their battle of *they were born this way* and molesting/screwing children finally becomes legal too, y'all will cave and start airing/promoting pedophilia?

You say no but you will because you just did something similar. I don't care how much it's being done or how loud people scream that homosexuality is ok, it's not.... It's disgusting, perverse and sin.

Used to have a lot of respect for your company, now you have nothing but disgust. We will never watch your channel again

Caving to a minortiy

WOW, really, you have caved to a minority to subject your faithful listeners to watch what they don't agree with!

You know your watching audience is more than Christians, it's folks that are weary of what is being thrown into their face on all venues.

It was safe for families to let their kids watch that channel, no more now!

I have chosen to boycott your channels that I watched, a lot!

Are you also ruling over your card company, too. I just bought my last Hallmark card! They were the only ones I'd buy because they were so good. No more.

I hope there is such a boycott coming in you will consider the majority of the viewers, not just a few that are out to intimidate and control this nation.

A concerned and sad American!

Lesbians kissing commercial

I thought the Hallmark, I recently purchased to watch, would be free from smut. Then, I saw the commercial from Zola and two women kissing.
I will cancel my subscription now that your company is convinced you are more concerned with the complaints of the few over the voice of those who have actually supported watching your movies.
Do you really think the LGBTQ... has been the people supporting you? Seriously? No, it is me and people like me who love everyone but choose to spent our television watching time staying away from the channels that push these agendas down our throats. Now, sadly, you have joined those ranks. Disappointed in Hallmark!

Hallmark Channel

To Whom it May Concern,

You know, Hallmark Channel WAS the one that I knew I could go to to see movies that WERE based with morals and values. I held on to cable specifically for it!!! Cable is quite a lot of money, yet with all the shows that force sexual content (Hetero and Homosexual), swearing, killing, stalking, on and on, I felt like at least there is still Hallmark. You HAD so MANY people, so many, and yet, you are now just like all the rest. Even worse now. You took away what millions were running to. For what? Why do you think your channel was so popular? Where I work, it is predominately women who love to go home after and just decompress with the Hallmark Channel. Purchase your merchandise proudly. We loved the many great actors who WERE fortunate to be able to work for Hallmark because of it's once wholeness values. Whomever just made this decision, blew it big time. Again, you are no different now. You have lost respect, and are even worse than all the others. All we wanted was ONE network. Out of over a hundred channels that are available to us, to our children, we just needed one. You once gave it to us, and then took it away. What would we have seen next in regards to, let's take When Calls the Heart for example? Men kissing men, women kissing women during that era? It will probably be coming soon presented by the NEW Hallmark Channel. Thing is Hallmark, from all that I am reading in comments from many different sites, the majority of your viewership is now gone. This was actually the topic today at our place of employment. Number one thing that I kept hearing was, "That's what made Hallmark different."

Sincerely,

A ONCE grateful fan.

Zola ad on Hallmark channel

I am so disappointed today upon hearing that Hallmark said they had made a mistake pulling the Zola ad. It's so sad that you would side with a 2% minority group. I won't make the mistake of tuning in to Hallmark again. How sad for you. Good luck on viewership going forward.

Family Programming, NOT LBGT

You just couldn't leave it alone, could you? Now, you guys may have set a new speed record for spineless corporate position vacillations. The whole thing was and is pathetic.
Here's the deal: We used to choose your channel for "safe", family-friendly, feel-good programming so we don't have to explain sexual content to the kids. Your channel isn't supposed to be about sexual content, whether it's straight, gay or whatever, either on your programming itself or on your advertising. If you are going to be just like all the other trash on TV, you will lose enormous numbers of viewers. You will lose even more for not deciding what you believe and sticking to it. We trusted you to be one of the few places of refuge on TV from moral decay. We trusted you to be above "political correctness". You broke that trust. Then changed your minds. Then instantly caved in to pressure from a very noisy, small minority and changed your minds again. Pathetic. I'm done with you. Really bad move.

LGBT AD

We are very disappointment in Hallmark Channel and will no longer be watching if you continue to let 1% of the US population bully you into changing your values. We as a family can comfortably sit down and watch your shows without having to worry about inappropriate content or cursing. The LGBTQ community continues to push their agenda on our family and Christian values that this country was founded on. If you go through with this content on your show you will lose millions of viewers. Let them start their own channel. It doesn't show any backbone in America when you let 1% change your mind. This is a free country and you should be able to decide which programs you will not allow on your channel. Shame on you, CEO, for backing down. I hope your pocketbook gets a big hit for this.

Gay Commercial

Hallmark needs to pull their gay commercial. My kids don't need to have the gay lifestyle shoved in their faces, while watching your channel. Pull the gay commercial or I'll be CHANGING CHANNELS. I'm sick of these small minorities 'wagging the dog'. It's your decision, pull the commercial or lose viewers.

Caving to LGBTQ Actvism

My family watched Hallmark almost every day. NO MORE. you've chosen to cave into a small group of LGBTQ activists who don't even watch your channel. I will not watch or allow my children to watch your channel any longer. You've lost lots of loyal customers already and I'm sure you will lose many more. As you don't even understand who your customers are.

Same sex marriages/unions

I object to the Hallmark Channel promoting same-sex unions in their ads and on their shows. This is a free country and Crown Media can choose to sponsor this type of subject. I am also free to no longer watch or subscribe to this channel or it’s business affiliates, which I will now do.

Sincerely

Discrimination in advertising

Shame on the Hallmark Channel for allowing discrimination because of the the Million Mom’s Hate Group. Bigots disguised as Christians.

lgbtq content

In regards to the complaints from individuals who seem to have a problem with movies/commercials about same sex couples (specifically, the removal of an ad about two women who were getting married), I've never been able to understand people who don't think "love" is wholesome or a strong value. Anyone who leaves the channel because of stories of love between two same sex individuals really should be reevaluating their own beliefs. It's pretty sad that you are okay with so many of the other content in ads and movies (violence, degrading women, sexism, bullying and yet think something like love is NOT a value.

I've been around same-sex couples whose relationships are long-term. It is heartening to see their true friendship and love even when verbally abused by people such as the ones mentioned above.. Heterosexual couples do not have the sole rights to love, honor, and friendship. Shame on all of you who tout religious values as the basis for hate or discrimination or cry about your child's exposure to homosexual love. 1) I don't know of any children that "like" the Hallmark Channel and even if they do, what is wrong with viewing love between two people? 2) Children are dealing with far worse things in their lives such as cyber bullying, violence in the society and the schools, poverty, and worrying about how climate change will affect their futures. Grow up and face the real issues instead of trying to create new ones by hurting others.

Rejection of Zola Ads

Shame on Hallmark for pulling the Zola ads featuring a lesbian couple. This decision to stand with bigotry puts you on the wrong side of morality and history. We’ll be sticking with Disney until all families are welcome by Hallmark, and we’ll be letting your other advertisers know.

Removal of Golden Girls

In the words of Dorothy Zbornac "I could vomit just looking at you" is exactly how I feel about Hallmark Christmas movies. Dripping enough sugary sweet syrup the entire cast and audience must be diabetic by now - these movies are so predictable one is just like another. Our Golden Girls are taken off for these movies at different times during the year - always Christmas movies. July, October and November not to mention December - these sickening movies have no significant purpose. GIVE US BACK OUR GIRLS ...... AND ENOUGH WITH THE CHRISTMAS MOVIES ALREADY!!!!!
