Hallmark
Reviews and Complaints

I was caught by surprise. We have been watching Hallmark movies for a long time. Now we are being subjected to values we don't share. I was irritated that we watch an entire movie and they slipped it in at the end. It destroyed the movie for us - don't remember what the movie was about but sure remember the shock ending. Goodbye Hallmark! It was fun for awhile.

I'm truly upset and sad that Hallmark is now making shows or ads etc with gay people. Very disturbing. Thumbs down 👎 to hallmark. This used to be my favorite station to watch. Not no more. 😢 Can't you please keep the movies and ads and shows without putting this content in them? My children and grandkids will not be allowed to watch hallmark any more.

Super sad Hallmark decided to incorporate gays into their movies/commercials. This used to be one station I could let my kids watch and not have to worry about what they were watching. I don't understand why Hallmark can't stand up for themselves and tick to what you believe. You have lost the only thing you really had...MORALS. Because of this I will not be supporting your movies/cards/etc.

I am saddened by Hallmarks decision to delve into the LGBTQ realm of society. This has been the only channel on television that I could watch and not have that agenda forced down my throat. It has infiltrated our society and forced on our children. Hallmark was my place to go and still feel somewhat like the society I grew up in. With morals and not feeling that I had to monitor what the children or myself were tuned into. This is no longer the case. Yet another business has caved to the pressure to the lifestyle of those that choose to go against what is true according to God's word. I am truly heartbroken over this. What has become of our society? I can no longer watch this either. Jean

I always felt like I could count of Hallmark to have wholesome, traditional values. I have quit watching all network shows because they have caved, to all the smaller, loud interests groups and are constantly trying to indoctrinate us with their non traditional values. Why do the 99% of us have to accept the 1% as being normal. I am disappointed that now I have to give up Hallmark. Hope you reconsider what you have done and give us what we expect from you. Safe watching for our families.

From the beginning of time marriage between one man and one woman has been the cornerstone of civilized society.

I am disappointed that Hallmark bowed to Hollywood and their agenda to destroy the family. Those of us who stand for traditional family values will continue to stand for these values. I will urge all whom I have any influence with to cease viewing the Hallmark channel as well as its sponsors.

I will no longer be watching your channel or visiting your stores. I have bought your cards and shopped in your stores my intire life. You did not need to make a commercial like this promoting homosexuality.? Why do corporations like your's that are known for being a wholesome child freindly company, decide that our country needs more controversy?

My family of 23 people have watched Hallmark for years because of the clean movies you have on your channel. We were saddened when we heard you places this Zola as on your channel but we are even more saddened to find out that after you removed it that you are considering putting it back on.

People who like clean movies watch your channel. People who like movies other than clean for the most part do not.

You will find out that this is a big mistake and will not be blessed in any way to caving to something that is not right in any way.

We are very hurt and saddened that you would even consider putting ads like this on your family channel.

For years, I've enjoyed watching Hallmark channel with my children and my elderly mom. Why in the world would you think it is a good idea to show two lesbians kissing or getting married? It's confusing and perpetuating the idea that this is normal behavior. I promise that I will not be watching your channel again if you continue to show an ad like this. I always thought that you were a "family" channel. I guess not...

You have chosen to bow down to the will of intolerant bigots. After seeing the commercial with the two women being wed, I cried out of happiness, and when you listened to the million women complain, you disregarded the voice of FOURTEEN million Americans that appreciated that they were represented (4.5% of the US population belongs to the LGBTQ community).

My simple request to go back and remember what Hallmark was about. Telling stories about love, because love is blind.

Not going to insult you. Simply going to let you know that so many are disappointed in your choices. You have now willfully chosen non-inclusion and casting off of the needs and LOVE of others. When it comes down to it which side of history do you really want to be on? Hallmark, I urge you to include all. I send nothing but love to those who were "offended" by this, and urge them too to see the love in it. It is not a mirror of their own lives, it is a window into the lives of others."

12/15/2019Hallmark, you should be ashamed of yourselves! Learning that you will not air a commercial that shows two women kissing is ridiculous. The thought that you bowed to a group of "mothers" that are against the LBGT is downright sad. Love is an individual preference. Haven't we figured this out by now?

And to those 1 Million Moms...will you disown your child if they chose to love someone of their gender? Seriously?

I learned Hallmark pulled an add because it represented a lesbian couple getting married. I am extremely disappointed in Hallmark's decision to cater to hateful bigots. That is not what Hallmark used to mean. Until Hallmark stands for principles of inclusion, equality, compassion and empathy, I will not purchase any more of your products.

You can and should do better.

I am angry and appalled at Hallmark's decision to succumb to the 1 Million Moms group by pulling a lesbian commercial.
I would prefer if the people there who make decisions like this, would understand that love is love. We have all come too far to go back in time and let one hateful group control what we see. For them to refer to gay people as VILE is unacceptable!

I was so happy to think that Hallmark was moving toward inclusion. And now I'm reading that a commercial depicting love between two women has been pulled. That's so cowardly. I just can't support this kind of bigotry. Every year I get SlingTv with the Lifestyles add on for Hallmark Christmas movies. If Hallmark can't be inclusive and diverse, I can no longer give my support.

I am appalled by the Hallmark Channel decision to bow to pressure from an American HATE group, read the 1 Million Moms Website .

They are vile not loving LGBT couples . I have just thrown out 60.00 worth of Hallmark Christmas Cards and will not be buying anymore. BTW . There are millions of us too and our families and our allies, who will be emailing every advertiser on your network to ask them to pull their ads, ZOLA has Integrity and the best interest of the company at heart . Hallmark does not. You might as well shut down your LGBT line of cards. We won't be buying them .

I am angry and disheartened that the Hallmark channel caved to bigoted complaints and removed the Zola ads featuring a lesbian couple. LGBTQ families are, well families! Few complaints are more hateful and misinformed than accusing portrayals of love between committed same sex partners as "anti-family values." This backlash will eventually subside, but unless the Hallmark Channel reverses its decision, restores these ads, and moves further and shows programming that celebrates all families, multi-racial and multi-sexual preference, I will actively boycott all Crown Media Holdings.

I have watched Hallmark's holiday movies for years, and was surprised and disheartened to read that Hallmark has pulled Zola ads due to the bigotry of some viewers who don't want to accept that gay and lesbian people are included in many families, and have their own families.

This is a very disappointing move by Hallmark. Cheers to Zola for pulling their advertising from Hallmark. I will no longer be a viewer of your network or support Hallmark with my purchases. I hope Hallmark changes it's stance but until then, I will encourage others to stop supporting a company that is allowing bigotry to drive their decisions.

I am so disappointed that Hallmark has caved to the bigotry of viewers who don't want to accept that gay and lesbian people are also parts of, and have, families. "Family-friendly" viewing is what the Hallmark channel has been praised for. Until you pulled those commercials, I thought "family-friendly" meant appropriate for children: no strong language, nudity, or sexualized situations.

Why doesn't that include all families? Why do you think gay and lesbian people can only be portrayed in highly sexualized ways, and not in family-friendly situations like going to school, raising children, and having weddings?

This is truly a sorry performance by Hallmark. Cheers for Zola for pulling their advertising from Hallmark. I will be encouraging your other advertisers to follow suit.

Disappointed with your decision to push the LGBT agenda on your network. Used to look forward to watching your holiday programming, but if you are inserting commercials and programming with these themes, I will no longer be able to do so. These are not the traditional family values you were known and respected for. Shame on you for caving to the culture.
