However, ’s a good first step that there are even enough movi for me to create this list of Hallmark movi wh gay characters.

MAKE THE YULETI GAY WH THE NEW LGBTQ CHRISTMAS MOVI

The "Mean Girls" actor will star "The Christmas Hoe," a holiday film about a gay uple lookg to adopt their first child. * gay hallmark movies *

Most gay characters and upl the movi are whe and male. Let’s be clear, as of the start of 2021, no Hallmark movie has featured gay characters as leads.

No matter what official Hallmark reps say, The Christmas Hoe and Mix Up the Mederranean do not feature gay leads. While I tly enjoyed The Christmas Hoe and loved seeg the happily married gay uple, they played send-fiddle to the ma straight uple’s romantic storyle. It jt so happens that Jeremy Jordan, who is playg that straight man is also playg his gay tw.

This do not qualify as a gay lead character, and dog the bare mimum isn’t enarg Hallmark to anyone. The only memorable thg about this movie was one of the only tim a Hallmark character has said “I am gay. Y, back 2012, Hallmark premiered a Christmas movie which the sister proclaimed she was gay.

JONATHAN BENT WANTED TO CREATE A GAY UNCLE BUCK FOR THE HOLIDAY STER

After a public outcry last year when pulled an ad featurg a same-sex weddg, Hallmark Channel is back wh s first holiday movie featurg a gay uple. * gay hallmark movies *

At first, I thought was jt a way to keep a man om htg on her, but an earlier scene shows that she actually is gay. It also had the most subtle ht of a gay uple I have ever seen on TV.

This movie also marks the first time a gay uple has shared an on-screen kiss on any Hallmark work. Though there is no POC love tert as of yet, Dani McKellar’s Kayleigh was given a gay bt iend, which for Hallmark is a gigantic step forward. My only knock on the movie is how Hallmark attempted to market as the work’s first movie wh gay leads.

This is the send Kimberly Stad/Pl Campbell llaboratn that has clud a gay uple.
