FALLY, HALLMARK’S HOLIDAY FARE MAK A GAY UPLE ‘PART OF THE FAY’

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. ”Grossman — who is gay, as are Bent and Harr — unrstands where they’re g om and hop to meet some of the Hallmark fans halfway.

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

MAKE THE YULETI GAY WH THE NEW LGBTQ CHRISTMAS MOVI

Let’s be clear, as of the start of 2021, no Hallmark movie has featured gay characters as leads.

FALLY, A GAY UPLE A HALLMARK CHRISTMAS MOVIE

No matter what official Hallmark reps say, The Christmas Hoe and Mix Up the Mederranean do not feature gay leads.
