DJ Tanner under fire for focusing on traditional marriage on new tv channel

[BUtterfield 8 41,037]

While Hallmark Channel is leaning into more inclusive storylines, Candace Cameron Bure and Great American Family are seemingly doing the opposite. In a new interview with The Wall Street Journal, Bure, who exited Hallmark to join former CEO Bill Abbott at the new company earlier this year, opened up about her new role as chief creative officer.

“My heart wants to tell stories that have more meaning and purpose and depth behind them,” she said about making the change. “I knew that the people behind Great American Family were Christians that love the Lord and wanted to promote faith programming and good family entertainment.”

Not only is Bure able star in her choice of films, but she’s also producing religious titles under the “Candace Cameron Bure Presents” banner. Still, the move has come with a great deal of controversy, with her telling WSJ that Hallmark is “basically is a completely different network than when I started because of the change of leadership.” (The network, in turn, commented, “We want all viewers to see themselves in our programming and everyone is welcome.”)

While Hallmark is doing a strong push for more LGBTQ+ storylines — their first original holiday movie focused on a same-sex couple debuts next month — that won’t be happening at Great American Family, Bure said.

“I think that Great American Family will keep traditional marriage at the core,” she said. Abbott added, “It’s certainly the year 2022, so we’re aware of the trends. There’s no whiteboard that says, ‘Yes, this’ or ‘No, we’ll never go here.'”

“Meaning, purpose and depth…Christians who love the Lord” yikes 

I can’t believe things Will and Grace joked about 20 years ago while Bush was in office are still seriously being produced. 
 

Also not this random lady presenting hard earned Queer representation on media as a “trend.” 

Let the Republicans enjoy their time though… with the changing demographics they don’t have much left

I swear to god I met her in an airport in Vancouver around 2000 and said hi to her and literally asked, "what's up with your brother and those Christian videos" 

She was like  

Me:  k .  bye

This is a REAL story.  I swear.

“Great American Family is currently the 68th most popular channel on TV, watched by a total number of 142,000 people”

Meanwhile Hallmark Channel is at #11 with nearly 10 times as more viewers.

So does this mean they will include scenes where these pure, good faith, traditional family valued Christians shun their gay kid?

Will her films show when these Great American Families are bigots and hateful, but attend Sunday service and get breakfast at the Cracker Barrel afterward? 

I can’t wait for the film where a good Christian girl met a good Christian guy while attending a Trump rally. Then having their first date at a Chick fil a.

Her viewers should see their flaws in these films, not just the cookie cutter upper middle class Christian facade they think they are.

Oh please! She is a one tune actress. What depth exactly will she bring to her characters? 
 

 

Anywho, support queen Jodie Sweetin who has shoved by police while attending a pro choice rally back in June.

I *almost* don’t mind most of what she said. 
 

I don’t like how she implies that gays can’t be Christians like that’s the only sin.

Bitch, you sinned any time DJ Tanner said “Oh my God”
