WND/ Todd Starnes-
The family-friendly network the Hallmark Channel announced Sunday it will now broadcast television commercials that feature kissing lesbians.
The ads for Zola, a wedding planning website, were initially pulled after One Million Moms, an advocacy group affiliated with American Family Association, launched a petition drive.
However, Hallmark CEO Mike Perry said that decision was a mistake:
“Earlier this week, a decision was made at Crown Media Family Networks to remove commercials featuring a same-sex couple. The Crown Media team has been agonizing over this decision as we’ve seen the hurt it has unintentionally caused. Said simply, they believe this was the wrong decision. Our mission is rooted in helping all people connect, celebrate traditions, and be inspired to capture meaningful moments in their lives. Anything that detracts for [sic] this purpose is not who we are. As the CEO of Hallmark, I am sorry for the hurt and disappointment this has caused.”
