Hallmark Reverses Decision After Originally Blocking Lesbian Ad (1 Viewer)

I believe this was last month but only just seen it now. I don't know if anyone has heard of a conservative group called 'One Million Moms' because they are the ones who complained to Hallmark about taking the ad down.

Anyway, the ad was put back up after some public backlash I believe.

Here is the ad in question:


Here are a few articles and videos discussing it:

TV channel pulled advert because it showed a gay kiss

The advert was reinstated after a huge backlash from major celebrities and on Twitter.

Hallmark says it will "reinstate" TV ads featuring same-sex couple after outcry

It's unclear whether Zola will continue airing ads on the The Hallmark Channel, but they noted they are "relieved" by these recent updates.

I applaud them for making the decision to show it.
Quite some people are still against gay marriage so it's very courageous of them to do this whilst knowing they'll probs anger a big amount of their clients.
Kinda sad they pulled it at first but I'm glad they say screw you to those homophobes

I think it's just sad that even in 2020, we are still fighting for equality for everyone.
I've heard that One Million Moms are now going to boycott Hallmark because of it, it's extremely sad.

People need to mind their own business!
A good thing about this ad being reinstated though is that not so long ago, shows canceled lgbtq content from backlash from various conservative groups and they never put it back up, but now that this ad has been put back up, it shows that people are not backing down from those conservative groups anymore which I think is a great sign and I hope we can keep it up and say that we will not back down.
