Hallmark content advisory
Hallmark was threatened into giving in to the lgtb community. Now you see the queer content that is swarming hallmark movies, an advisory really should be instituted letting viewers know their content is changing, but they did not take that step to protect their viewers and children, they simply have not cared. The LGTB community and large business owners have big plans for hallmark, what you are seeing is only the beginning. They call shoving this queer content down your throats, "diversity". It is nothing more than sexual immorality, condemned since the beginning of time but becoming more approved in these last days. Hollywood like every other gross sin, has pushed this immoral "choice" right into our living rooms.
Desired outcome: An advisory content warning before hallmark shows queer sexually immoral scenes would be helpful.
Offensive hallmark movie content
My fiance and I are sick to death of the LGBTQ crap being forced down our throats in countless Hallmark movies made after 2020! Many times, we'll be watching a movie and after about 3 minutes of viewing, here comes the gay couple holding hands, kissing and hugging. WTH? Do you not have any respect for your viewing public, most of which don't want to see...
Read full review of Hallmark and 7 commentsMusic louder then speech
As much as I love watching movies on Hallmark channel - I’m finding it very frustrating that I can barely hear the actors speaking. The music that has been dubbed over the top is so much louder than the talking. I’m missing parts of the storyline just because I cannot hear the speech… only very loud music!
This happens on most movies on your channel. It really needs looking in to - otherwise I’ll have to cancel my subscription.
Desired outcome: Lower ‘background’ music so I can hear the actors speaking!!
Hallmark Movies
I have been a Hallmark movie fan for as long as Hallmark has been making movies! I think it's totally disgusting that you have gone so woke with Canadian actors, who are progressives and homosexual content! Plus, we had to watch Christmas movies the entire month of July, now we have to watch they same tired Christmas movies from October to December! They are not only boring, but so many are fundamentally the same script with different actors! Bring back Golden Girls! At least they are entertaining even if I've seen every episode 100 times! I would rather watch re-runs than the crap you've been showing now for months! And, even showing homosexual commercials! Sorry to see that Hallmark has gone so woke! I'll be looking elsewhere for my entertainment from now on!
Desired outcome: I would like an apology for your wokeness!! Start showing wholesome movies again!
I have stopped watching any of your movies as soon the gay and lesbian couple appear. Not representative of the % of the population, yet the producers feel the need to include in every movie.
why is it a only one. Percent of the population is homosexual or non-natural sexual preference, but hallmark has decided to add homosexual couples to almost every single movie? That is not representing the American public.
why is ever thing got to be about gays or lesbians we as christians would like to see at least one hallmart channel that doesn't show movies about gays or lesbians we would like some clean shows since hallmark is my favorite channel and i enjoy watching the network i dont want to take away others rights but i don't want my to be taken away we should have a choice as much as we pay for the channel to see movies and mysteries that is free from discrimination of all. all other channel even commercials have gay lesbian or black and white together i have no problem with anyones preference but don't make me live it ever day
Stop gay content in movies and commercials!.
We agree. We have ceased watching any of your programming All deviates. Knock off the queers and lesbians.
Channel programming
Hallmark, I have avidly watched your programs because they were the perfect escape from the real world. Not any longer. It is obvious to your viewers that you have sold yourselves out to the woke ideologues. The writing has become absolute drivel, making it utterly too cringe worthy to watch. On top of that, every single movie has narratives that go against the faith of most of your viewers. Your programming and even your commercials are no longer family friendly.
Plus, all of our fan favorites are gone. The Aurora Teagarden Mysteries. Gone. Martha’s Vineyard Mysteries. Gone. Mystery 101. Gone. The Crossword Mysteries. Gone. Matchmaker Mysteries. Gone. Then again, a lot of these actors are gone, too, probably because they weren’t happy with the direction Hallmark Channel was going in.
I have been a diehard Hallmark fan for over a decade. The fact that you completely disregard our concern about the direction your movies are going in shows that you think nothing of your viewers, the people you supposedly built your brand for. Sadly, you are treating us like day old trash that needs to be discarded.
I won’t be tuning in to Hallmark channel anymore. I’ll be heading over to GAC media for my entertainment. Goodbye, Hallmark. You utterly destroyed my love for your programs.
Desired outcome: Stop producing woke content. It's destroyed your brand.
Your Movies have Changed!
Just want to let you know that me, my married daughters and daughter-in-laws do NOT find two men kissing, nor two women kissing or holding hands ROMANTIC! We subscribed to watch good, family friendly romance movies. Instead, we are getting trapped into watching shows that constantly shove the un-romantic versions in our faces. We have decided to not watch any movies made after 2019. Not worth our time. Instead, we immediately turn it off and go elsewhere where we have a CHOICE.
If you want to cater to those who have that version of what they think is romantic, then at least have the courtesy to put them in their own category or "series" and let us enjoy our own version of romance.
If this keeps up, you're going to lose more viewership while we find our entertainment elsewhere.
Desired outcome: Put the gay/LGBTQ movies into one category or section for those who want that, and keep the traditional romance movies in another section.
I agree wholeheartedly with Cellolady! And the suggestion to have a category for gay/LGBTQ movies (or at least warnings before the movie starts) would fix the problem.
Gay men kissing in Hallmark Christmas movies
I'm extremely disappointed as I sit here with my grandchildren watching your great Christmas movies only see two men kissing near the end of the film. As husband and husband. This is despicable for someone who sells family entertainment, presenting this abomination as nothing but another family alternative. I've been a loyal Hallmark follower for somewhere over five years. But I have to admit I'm really glad to see the number of people that have the integrity to move away from this kind of stuff and assist the new network. Very very disappointed you hallmark. Every one of our movies we sit and watch with bated breath to make sure that we don't have to turn off the TV before women kiss or men kiss or lay around or sit around on top of each other.
Desired outcome: Stop feeling like you have to show gay people kissing to make an accommodation statement to make the LQBQT community happy. Trust me they don't watch your network. But the rest of us pay money to watch your network
Immorality
I have enjoyed Hallmark movies for some time. Some of the things I like about these movies are, no bad language, no nudity, no violence, no drugs, no using Gods name in vain. No need to chase children out of the room. Up until lately, everything has been ok.
However, while watching a movie I was shocked. There were two homosexuals
kissing each other. I had to turn the movie off. I was greatly offended by this disgusting act. If you are going to show this kind of immorality, please let us know before the movie starts. Many people don't really know just how evil this is.
The Bible says that homosexuality is an abomination in the eyes of God.
Read for yourself, Romans chapter one in the Bible.
Desired outcome: Please keep movies clean and family acceptable. Thank you for your consideration.Roy Brathwaite
Absolutely, this is the way of the world which is under Satan's control. People need to repent and put their faith in their Savior Jesus Christ -
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Mark 10:5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, For the hardness of your heart he wrote you this precept.
6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.
7 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife;
We wish you a married Christmas
When watching this movie tonight with my husband, we were absolutely sickened to put it lightly, that you have to bring in such a graphic scenes with two gay guys kissing. it’s bad enough that you’ve been slowly adding homosexuals into your hallmark movies, but now to see them so explicitly displaying their affection on live TV for every child to see…
Where are the good traditional family values you so wonderfully used to show? We will no longer be taping our normal hallmark movies to watch each week. We’d always looked forward to this. We’re so disappointed in hallmark 💔🥵😡😳
Amen!
Go to the Great American Family Channel!
What major group watches your channel? You have just lost another traditional family. We are a God centered family. In our family there are over 200 throughout the United States, that are connected to a Christian Church. The word will be getting out. You have chosen to honor the evil one, by promoting homosexuality, through your movies and your sponsors. God is still in charge
Your are in for a Christian uprising against this vile stuff you are promoting. Roy Butler
Politics introduced into Hallmark Movies
The Hallmark movie “Noel Next Door” is one of the many new Hallmark movies which are turning political and introducing controversial topics. During this movie, Noelle is set up on a blind date with a man that was described as crazy because he was cancelled off all social media for posting misinformation. I look forward to watching Hallmark movies to relax and get away from all the political divide that is constantly on TV or social media. Shame on you! Unfortunately we all know that my posting this complaint will not change their new way of conducting business.
Desired outcome: Try to remain one of the few entertainment companies that do not cater to the politics.
I wrote this review and have recently found the Great American Family Channel (GAC). Thank Goodness! I now have my good ‘ole Christmas movies back that I can watch with a glass of wine and not have to face the “real world” of politics and divide! See ya Hallmark!
Commercial
I take care of an 86 year old female with progressive dementia. She loves to watch tv and she will only watch the hallmark channel and her eve movies. Why are you showing a commercial with grown gay men. She was so confused when it aired! She said What are they doing? I said I’m not sure. What am I supposed to tell her? You KNOW it’s not right but I’m sure this is all going to fall on deaf ears. This is a family channel so you shouldn’t show a commercial with gay single men.
Desired outcome: Take the commercial off or show if after 12 am
That is the key… Hallmark is no longer a family network. I will turn off your movie when I start seeing lesbian and gay content, period.
Stop gay content period!
It has become increasingly clear that Hallmark is catering to a different audience than in the past years when your movies have been enjoyed by millions. I'm so sad that you've chosen to revert to the current trend in your newer movies just when my 12 year old granddaughter started watching. Not any longer though! I can see that thousands of like-minded people feel the same way as I. Hallmark has been a lifelong mark of excellence and to say that I'm disappointed is an understatement. I will be cancelling my Hallmark subscription and will consider all other products (cards, etc.) as off limits because I can't condone your recent change in marketing. I'm glad to see that I'm not alone in my feelings. :(
I too would watch the Hallmark movies about 10 hours a day with my mother with dementia
I completely agree with your post and I found this email for the Hallmark movies channels

Military uniform in the movie Roadhouse Romance
As I’m aware you cannot replicate a US military you can however not allow someone to wear it like a slob as in the movie Roadhouse Romance where Lauren Alaina did not have her uniform blouse closed while walking around in public and she wore her headgear while indoors. Both are a disgrace to the uniform that I have fought for along with so many others. Also I’d like to say as me and My wife are avid watchers of Hallmark movies for there good PG and wholesome movies I do not want to see LGBTQ being pushed in these movies like they are everywhere else. Thank you.
Desired outcome: Try to respect those in uniform by wearing it properly.
Hallmark Movies and Mysteries gay couples and ads with gay couples kissing and embracing
My family is incensed over seeing programs with gay couples kissing, embracing, and being in the stories you show. This activity is anti biblical, is sinful, revolting and not enjoyable, nor appreciated in any way! Furthermore, the ads you allow, that are sponsored by companies selling drugs that are specifically designed for gay people are even more sickening! The people to whom you are catering amount to a small minority of the American national makeup, and are beyond sensible,tasteful programming and advertising. We have been watching “Groundswell” tonight, and are totally turned off by this gay garbage! The “diversity in programming” promised by your parent Crown Media Family Network is beyond belief to those of us who have watched your network and programs for years. Scheduling such a program as “ The Christmas House” this Christmas season will leave us no option but to quit your network for it’s foolish, unbiblical, non-family oriented programming.The ads for Aperture are unwatchable, as we see gay men kissing and hugging each other as they find relief from hiv infection with this drug.
Your woke agenda that caters to a small segment of our population, from your previously family oriented channels, leaves us no other course than to quit watching this horrendous woke garbage you produce! We are moving,along with wholesome stars such as Candace Cameron Bure, to GAC Family, where we will no longer be exposed to your miserable woke agenda promotion. Goodbye to you, and to any sponsors you have that we might remotely ever consider patronizing!
Desired outcome: Cease having gay programming and gay sponsors for any programs!
As I was watched Notes of Autumn I realized you had 2 gay guys in it but love Ashley Williams so kept watching but was very disappointed that you had to have them kiss at the end of the show. I am so disappointed in Hallmark since you were suppose to be a wholesome family channel. I am moving over to GAF. Please rethink your movies.
Switching to GAC, abhor the HIV commercial in your face LGBTQ on a so called family channel. Don’t like the new “woke” content that caters to a minority of Americans who probably don’t watch your channel anyway. Ignoring your larger viewing audience is a big mistake. Hallmark needs to check out the ratings for LGBTQ movies on the big screen, not doing so well. That HIV commercial was the last straw for me. Goodbye Hallmark
I completely agree and will be moving over too GAF also. I have had it with all the gay promotion by the Hallmark Channel. Turned on Autumn in the City as I like the actress in the movie, turned it off at the scene with the gay couple giving her life advice. That was the breaking point for me. See you, won’t be watching Hallmark any longer.
Roadhouse Romance
If you are going to make a movie about someone in the military, you may want to get a consultant. Less than two minutes into the movie I was embarrassed for you. Females are not allowed to have their hair past the bottom on their collar. They don't have lose strands either. Dog tags are not to be visible. The BDU (battle dress uniform) shirt stays buttoned. The military member's first name will not be on his/her BDU shirt. Furthermore, she was supposed to be an officer so she should have been spit-shined and buttoned up. Her BDU shirt was too tight and as beautiful as she is, I doubt that she would have passed the weight guidelines. I am a female Army veteran. This movie is a joke.
Desired outcome: If you are going to portray a military member, do some research and find out something about it.
We are a USMC family. Just got done watcing Christmas Bedtime Stories. Make up the name of the base. None of the hats had the Eagle, Globe and Anchor on them. A PFC don't have red stripes down his pants. Check military sorces before making a movie.
Movie content
Sadly I am done with your woke agenda movies. I used to love Hallmark. I watched it every year and now I have stopped because every single movie has some gay couple in it. Your company is obsessed with making sure you put that in every single movie. That is not realistic and that is not based on real World Views. Even if it is something you want to include, you don't have to put it in every freaking movie you put out. As a result I will no longer be watching the movies on your network and I will be making sure that I will pass this on to others to do the same. Just for the record, there are more of us that aren't woke than are. No, we are not racist and no, we are not hateful. We have morals and values that your company has thrown out.
Desired outcome: Go back to family based programming that made me feel safe from woke indoctrination.
HIV medicine commercial showing gay men hugging and kissing
While watching Monk tonight, 5-6pm Central time, a commercial come on advertising HIV medicine. The entire commercial was one shot after another of mostly guy men being seductive; hugging and kissing. You must know that most of your viewers find this repulsive and do not condone that lifestyle. Having commercials like this (and programming) will only cause you to lose viewers. Please think of your viewers and don't throw this type of programming in our faces. We expect better than that from the Hallmark Channel.
Desired outcome: No homosexual programming of any kind; shows or commercials.
I agree with the comments above concerning the woke agenda I am so frustrated with the constant gay homosexual content of the new movies. If I know I just chose not to watch and have turned off some partway through. But now you throw an hiv commercial with same sex kissing in the middle of a family movie. During the day. It made me sick. I can no longer allow my grandkids to watch hallmark unless I tape it first and make sure the commercials are appropriate Shame on you.
I am switching to GAC
Mid life crisis movie
Long time Hallmark fan. We watch Hallmark bc it WAS a family friendly channel for kids and grandkids. So now Hallmark has decided to go woke and we are tuning in to see gay men and lesbian women involved in relationships. I believe in live and let live and believe they should enjoy and pursue the lifestyle that suits them and live happily. However that is not the lifestyle my family chooses to pursue. And I don’t like it being “force-fed” to those who choose otherwise! Rest assured many Hallmark viewers feel as we do and we will Not continue to be disappointed in their Recent choice of programming...as we will now be watching more GAC and Pure Flix!
Desired outcome: Marketing 101...Know your Target Audience. The largest % us more family-oriented!
Two men or two women kissing on the lips. Not appropriate.
I was watching the Hallmark Channel on Sat., Oct. 8 in the evening and was subjected to watching two men kiss on the lips during a commercial. In the recent past I saw two women kissing on the lips in a Hallmark program which added nothing to the show. It just looked like an add on for no good reason. Including deviant sexual activity which is not normal is not acceptable even if many people will say it is normal. Such conduct is not appropriate for a family show. Also, I know a number of people, including myself, do not appreciate having Christmas shows at odd times of the year such as in the summer or in the early Fall.
Thank you for taking time to read my comments.

Ad
Approximately 2:40 p.m. Pacific Coast time Friday October 8th. What ARE you thinking putting a commercial with men kissing and hugging each other while children are watching? I am getting so fed up with Hallmark! It used to be one of my favorite channels. It was a family channel it is no longer that what with your movies dabbling in this and now your ads. I probably will cancel my Hallmark channels. There are others I know who feel the same way.
Disgusted.
Commercial for HIV
I come to the Hallmark channel as an escape from the violence and sexual promiscuity common on network and cable TV. Also I have an impressionable three year old that also watches since that is the only channel we watch.
Recently I am forced to avert her eyes every time your HIV commercial airs showing homosexuals.
If these airings continue I will end my support of your channel
Very disappointed viewer
Desired outcome: Please end this type of advertising!
I agree, that commercial is very offensive to watch. It is not for young eyes. Getting as bad as Disney. What happened to good Christian television
Evil. That's what happened. Nothing is sacred anymore and the enemy is prowling all Iverson television seeking to devour out children making evil look good and good look evil, luring them into perversity and the occult.
