This was his tweet btw: "This actually has me genuinely angry.

It's disgusting and pathetic that Hallmark caved to a mob of trad snowflakes and spiked a perfectly innocuous ad. A slap in the face to gay people everywhere."

Yeah "snowflake" from the same guy crying for a boycott. Yeah taking down the ad was a slap in the face for gay people everywhere but airing it wasn't a slap in the face for the people of all thoses 32 states that voted to maintain the defintion of marriage as man and woman.

And in a lot of those other states its not 90 percent for and 10 percent against like most think

Usually 60/40 or even 55/45.

In an HONEST survey, where people didn’t feel like they had to lie, I’d bet 70 percent would be on our side.

What angers me too is that he has the audacity to describe himself as a conservative.

He writes “they never should have bowed to an outrage mob”, but that’s exactly what they did when they walked back the cancellation of the commercial.

If this Zola company is so “inclusive” why don’t they ever show masculine -looking gay women? They all look straight.

Their inclusiveness only goes so far.

I’d cancel my cable but ESPN and the Kneeler Football League NFL drove me to that long ago. Don’t miss it a bit.

I am now a #BoycottHallmark person because they caved to the left.....Hallmark was a safe channel that did not shove Political correctness done our throat, you could just sit back with your family and enjoy a clean show, not anymore... so bye bye Hallmark

I went to a Zola wedding this past Labor Day. Very well managed affair.

Really ? Lifetime has gay couples actually IN their movies, which Hallmark hasn’t done ... yet.

To some people, I believe, Brad Polumbo passes as a conservative. To me, he’s a POS.

Frankly, most of the Hallmark movies are predictable, poorly written, poorly acted junk.

They should know, the only reason most of us watch them is because Hallmark was always safe viewing for families. Not any more.

If homosexuals would just keep their bedroom priorities out of the public, we wouldn’t have much of an issue. My problem is they are proselytizing their sexual behavior.

The big money is not in the TV channel, but in those cards and high-priced novelties. I suspect that lesbians spend a lot of money buying $4.95 cards for each other.

They didn’t want to offen anybody, and now they have offended EVERYbody.

Lifetime has homosexual couples in some of their Christmas movies. Some of the older Hallmark movies have obvious homosexual characters (sympathetic male friend with fantastic fashion sense, no couples) but had left those characters out for the last few years.

>>In a pathetic display, Hallmark caved and pulled that particular ad

gay newsrooms are a thing and those who are butthurt never fess up to their own special agenda interest

Took Anderson Cooper a long time to come out of his closet. Some other anchors still hide there telling us same sex marriage and transexual military officers are so fabulous.

Even in California where Democrats rule the public voted in support of Prop 8 to define marriage. It was Jerry Brown who stabbed the voters in the back by refusing to defend it at the Supreme Court and those who got it onto the ballot were told that they didn’t have standing to challenge the district court ruling.
