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.

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. I love how they’re slowg chippg away at archaic notns of love one edy and one gay character at a time.
