Actress Hilarie Burton says she walked away from a job for the Hallmark Channel earlier this year after executives ignored her requests for an "LGBTQ character, an interracial couple and diverse casting."
Burton's claims come after the network was embroiled in a scandal this month over first pulling and then reinstating commercials with a same-sex kiss.
Burton, who has appeared in several Hallmark Channel movies such as Summer Villa and Naughty or Nice, wrote in a Twitter thread Sunday that she was let go from a job back in January.
I had insisted on a LGBTQ character, an interracial couple and diverse casting. I was polite, direct and professional. But after the execs gave their notes on the script and NONE of my requests were honored, I was told take it or leave it, Burton wrote. I left it. And the paycheck.

An interracial couple would be fine.
But homos kissing would not, because they do not even show HETERO couples engaging that way
Can’t say I tune into Hallmark all that much. If it doesn’t have Guns, Gazonga’s, or Godzilla, I’m channel surfing until I find it.
Guilty.
Holiday in Sodom. What could go wrong?
Personally I don’t want to see ANY sexualized content in the ads. As it is the ads for Viagra and its related products that run during sporting events at 2 o’clock in the afternoon drive me nuts. If I had an 8-year old son who liked baseball I’d have a serious problem on my hands.
Shes actually very pretty, funny and played well in a couple Hallmark movies
Now I find her ridiculous.
HM should be more careful in who they hire. or keep saying “we’ll get back to you on that..” anything but showing they caved....
“...she was let go from a job back in January...”
OR
“...she walked away...”
WHICH IS IT, HITLERLY GIRL?
They stood up to her diversity bullying and now shes mad because she didnt get her way. Hallmark had the right to be what it is. But that wont stop them from being destroyed by Leftists even though there are a plethora of outlets for diversity and LGBTQ. No, they must have complete conformity.
Checked out her filmography. Guest roles, etc., since 2009, when she wrapped up a show on the CW, “One Tree Hill.” Never one of the top 100 shows on TV.
Teachable moment:
A company does something you disagree with, and you think that many customers feel the same as you do.
Some whine and complain and threaten the company to try to force them to cater to their desires. People who think this way are called losers.
Others see a market opportunity. Every business started by providing goods or services that someone else needed and was willing to pay for. People who think this way are called entrepreneurs.
Anything not explicitly “Right Wing” becomes Left Wing over time.
Hallmark absolutely stinks as inclusivity! Why, they even failed to include her as an employee.

Quote: “A rep for [Hallmark] told Fox News: ‘Hilarie Burton was not an employee of Crown Media Family Networks.’”
They had one. Guess it didn’t fare too well. From Wiki:
Logo TV (often shortened to Logo, and stylized as Logo.) is an American pay television channel that is owned by Viacom Media Networks. Launched in 2005, it was originally aimed primarily at LGBT viewers, but in 2012 it shifted its focus towards general cultural and lifestyle programming.
I don’t really care, I haven’t had cable for at least 20 years. Just making the observation that Hallmark has been targeted for termination by the left. All of a sudden Hallmark is in the daily headlines.
She has that inbreed face.
Actors and actresses are not hired as writers or producers.
In some cases they may have dual roles, where they can be involved, but most of the time they are just pretty looking, talking props.
Just because she likes to sleep with other girls and black dudes doesn’t mean we have to pay to see it on TV.
