Hallmark Channel showcases same-sex marriage

Hallmark Channel recently kept their promise of bringing LBGTQ+ stories to light by showcasing same-sex marriage through the film Wedding Every Weekend. In the film, the protagonists are seen attending wedding ceremonies of different kind and one of the highlight sequences of the film is when they show two women getting married in a gorgeous ceremony. The film premiered on Saturday and fans were quick to put forth their thoughts on the event.

Most of the people supported the channel and their creative decision while a few others were of the opinion that it was not necessary. One of the internet users was of the strong opinion that Hallmark Channel used to be one of the few channels that did not push their political and social agendas down the audience’s throat. And now, they were disappointed with the move and have also stopped watching the show altogether.

Hallmark Channel’s official Twitter handle was quick to reply to the criticism and clear their thoughts on the notion. They wrote that they are proud of their film Wedding Every Weekend as their priority was to develop a broad mix of content, characters, and stories, with which they could make everyone feel welcome.
