in an interview with wall street journalBure was asked if her new network home would feature LGBTQ representatives and same-sex couples in its shows, following the Hallmark Channel.

The 46-year-old said he would not, explaining:

Great American Media CEO Bill Abbott said: There is no whiteboard to say ‘Yes, this’ or ‘No, I will never go here’. “

Now they openly admit their prejudices.
I called this shit years ago when Abbott was at Hallmark. I’m glad they abandoned him.
Being LGBTQ is not a “trend”.
I hate that guy and his network. You are also candy. There is nothing unconventional about same-sex couples. https://t.co/38XIg5XeMP
