'CHRISTMAS HOE 2' IS MAKG THE YULETI GAY AGA FOR HALLMARK
Hallmark cidg to have a married gay uple be part of The Christmas Hoe was big al when the movie premiered back November of 2020. I wasn’t expectg The Christmas Hoe 2 to go que so ep to Brandon’s thought procs as an out gay man. We did see him and Jake experience trouble durg the adoptn procs due to beg a gay uple the first movie.
As a queer man, he knows that if he slips jt once, pecially as a gay father, certa people will look at him differently and will imply that he failed at beg a parent bee he’s not straight enough to be an actual father. Brandon’s secury over beg the “gay” siblg and havg to experience a childhood different om Mike’s (even though they grew up the same hoe) is likely gog to touch many viewers.
RELATED | Billy Eichner's Gay Rom-Com Bros Featur an All-LGBTQ+ Cast. Hallmark ma history last year wh the but of The Christmas Hoe, the work’s first holiday movie wh a gay uple leadg rol. Most importantly, though, The Christmas Hoe 2 touch upon a few problems that are totally specific to the gay holiday experience.
FALLY, HALLMARK’S HOLIDAY FARE MAK A GAY UPLE ‘PART OF THE FAY’
They are a gay Hallmark uple, and so much of their actns as a uple and their relatnships wh the larger Mchell fay center that fact.
It’s betiful to see, too, bee ’s important to show that gay upl have way more issu to al wh than jt g out. I never thought that a Hallmark movie would so accurately touch upon the prsur of performative gay excellence but I’m really glad one is! In the movie, out actor Bent, 40, plays the Mchells' olst child, a high-stng, somewhat-petive gay man who owns a bakery Colorado.
[also] havg to superse the norm, " Bent refers to his own experience as a gay actor and always havg to go beyond what was expected bee he thought he wouldn't measure up to his straight unterparts.

After all, the project hails om Hallmark Channel, whose annual “Countdown to Christmas” lp of origal movi — a seasonal mastay both lucrative and beloved — clud 23 tl 2019, none featurg a gay uple. )As turned out, Bent‘s love tert wasn’t a woman at all: Instead, he’ll play half of the first gay uple highlighted the work’s heavily watched holiday programmg.
