Hallmark premieres its first LGBTQ holiday movie with a gay lead couple
The Hallmark Channel is known for its cheesy but heartwarming Christmas movies. This year, the channel decided to diversify its casts by featuring its first openly gay lead couple. โIโm proud of everyone at Hallmark Channel for making the holiday table bigger and more welcoming and warmer this year,โ Bennett told NBC News. The Hallmark Channel vowed in July to put more LGBTQ representation in its content following criticism that the movies lacked diversity. Back in August, the channel showed its first same-sex wedding in the movie โWedding Every Weekend.โโThe Christmas Houseโ premiered on Nov. 22.
