Why Did Hallmark Have to Be Told That Anti-LGBTQ Bigotry Leveled at the Zola Ad Was Wrong?
It had a happy ending, of course. In the end the Hallmark Channel told the bigots of One Million Moms where to go—but only after first capitulating to their prejudice.
On Thursday Hallmark initially did what One Million Moms had asked them to do, which was to terminate the on-screen advertising of Zola.com, a wedding website that—shock, horror—featured a lesbian couple getting married and looking happy.
This was too much for One Million Moms, who launched a noxious petition last Thursday, thus: “The Hallmark Channel has always been known for its family friendly movies. Even its commercials are usually safe for family viewing. But unfortunately, that is not the case anymore.”
